From The Smirking Chimp:
Molly Ivins says:
"On the general subject of political corruption, do not fall into the fatal error of cynicism. You do your country a great disservice by saying things like: 'Eh, they're all crooks. Nothing anyone can do about it. Money will always find a way.'
The answer is perpetual reform. Fix it, and if corruption comes back again, you just whack back at it again. The system as it is encourages corruption and must be changed. Public campaign financing is the best answer in the long-term -- all this 'lobby reform' talk is hopelessly inadequate. Hang in, and raise hell -- this is a heaven-sent opportunity to clean it up. Don't blow the chance with cheap cynicism."
Don't bitch if you don't vote. Don't vote unless you vote with your head. Never shut-up. Never lay down. Get loud. Stay loud. Right is right. Wrong is wrong and deserves the deep black somber silence of the tomb. The only thing everybody in this country deserves is the one thing many are not getting: a fair chance.
