How have Americans come to the place where it is absolutely inconceivable that any politician would voluntarily lay aside their office for the good of their party and their country? We have created a system that is so far removed from what the founders designed, and peopled it with greedy, power-mad thugs, that I see no possibility of recovery. The derision heaped on Sarah Palin from all sides simply for demonstrating that power and ambition do not motivate her is yet another proof that America as we once knew it is gone for good.
I'm still here.
