You've heard it before, but it bears repeating.

If the opposite of "pro" is "con", then the opposite of progress is congress.

Lets run it down.

The vast majority of our congress people have never brought a product to market or sold anything, yet they pass labor and business laws.

The vast majority of our congress people are not medical doctors, yet they pass health care and HMO laws.

The vast majority of our congress people have never been in the military, yet they decide the size and disposition of our armed forces.

The vast majority of our congress people are not teachers or educators, yet they pass laws regarding educational standards.

All of our congress people have no worries about retirement as they get their congressional salary for life, yet they won't pass laws allowing us a little control of our own retirement funds.

The vast majority of our congress people are or were lawyers, yet they pass laws that screw themselves.

So in short, they pass bad laws about things they know nothing about, and they pass bad laws about things they're supposed to know about.

Dear Lord, all I ask for is a choice!

...whoooo, I feel much better now. Thanks for allowing me to rant. ;-)

That is a good thing. Here is a bad thing:

The vast majority of congress lets the courts decide where we can pray, who we associate with, how we run our businesses, ETCETERA!

Question: What do you call a lawyer gone bad?

Answer: Senator

As far as McCain-Feingold, it's the restrictions it places on the public that has me up in arms: No issue ads 60 days before elections. This puts a stranglehold on first amendment speech and will probably make voting guides illegal.
