I haven't been following this entire argument, but I think you are proving a point here you may not want to prove.

Average citizens WILL ALWAYS be able to get things done before any government, Local, State or Federal. That is why it took so long for the Feds to get there. That is why you are first and foremost responsible for yourself, then your family, then your neighbors, and up.

THAT is exactly the point. Bureaucracies are bad for you. Smaller government is good for you.

Can anyone tell me if the hearings are still going on? I had to leave this morning and I don't see anything on C-Span online now showing the hearings.
