The narcotic Birther issue

"I think the birther issue is good for the country. A modern republic needs
some simple and unimportant issues to keep its citizens invested in the
process. The important issues of our time are far too complicated for the
average person, and I count myself in that group. We need a few simple
issues so we can be part of the political conversation without hurting
anything. The last thing our system of government needs is regular citizens
getting involved in Middle East strategy, healthcare reform, the budget,
climate change, or anything else that might matter.

Most citizens would lose all interest in government if there were no issues
they could grasp. In a perfect world, the largely clueless citizenry,
including me, would feel as if we're part of the system while having no
power to break anything important. The birther issue is sort of like letting
your toddler have a toy steering wheel in his car seat. He feels as if he's
doing something useful and you don't have to rely on him to keep you out of
the ravine."

.....With about the same degree of intelligence that led to the Alaska
soccer mom's elevation to political prominence! (One could almost wish
the latest "the world is about to end" religious nuts are right - better
that than a government run by similar mental deficients!)

The mental deficients running the US at the moment are doing a damn
fine job of it.
You must be proud to be part of it!

I think the majority of u.s. citizens consider adherence to the
constitution an important matter.

A majority of U.S. citizens do not know what is in the costitution.
They only become aware of bits and pieces when the media brings those bits
and pieces to the public's attention.

You're kidding, of course? If the U.S. were not the only allegedly
"developed" country in the world that did not provide its citizens with
medical care (hence my U.S. medical "insurance" does not cover me
overseas) I would have been long gone to more civilized parts of the
world, once I retired!
