I'm not being sarcastic, I'm all ears (or in this case, all eyes). In the 20/20 special, Stossell (yeah, I got his name right this time around) really articulated the perils of putting our trust in imperfect politicians and believing they can magically wipe away all of our troubles. And that we the people more often than not, are the solutions to our problems. Just check out the segment on the Katrina aftermath.
As for McCain, well...as Republicans and Conservatives we can fight him on these ridiculous proposals.
With 0bama, you can forget it.
