I've seen what the circus in Jeff City do. You may be perfectly content to put yourself in the hands of politicians at any level but I have my worries.
We are generally disappointed with state legislators because we ask little of them.
I am not content to put myself in the hands of one prez, nine blackrobes, and 535 congressmen from a distant, mentally detached, and oblivious, Rome like city-state.
If you have an alternate plan, I'd be interested!
