I must retort. Yes, I know that this is a private forum, and therefore subject to rules. But your statement that there is nothing we can do, except move, is fallacious. The political process in our constitution gives us ways to correct the miserable job the government is doing. When people rant on here regarding the alleged failings of the government, they are simply crying out in the darkness to see if anyone else feels the same way. Also, I did not see this anti-rant vitriol applied when the previous administration was in place.
