Evil or Just Plain Stupid?

“One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the
evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.”

Thomas Reed, 1886.

If you sign a contract, you should honor it.  But before you sign it,,,,, YOU SHOULD READ IT.  I was taught that a long time ago.  I have pissed a few people off because they shoved something under my nose and demanded I sign it, and I refused because…I HADN’T READ IT.

So why can’t our representatives (and I use the word loosely as I don’t know WHO they are representing – not me for sure) freaking read the legislation they are passing?  Do they not read it because they never learned to read? Do they not read it because it’s to long and boring? (Hint – you wrote it, make it shorter). Or do they not read it because they don’t give a damn about “We the People”?

Evil or Stupid?

The promised “transparency ” in government didn’t even make it past the first piece of legislation that BO signed. No posting on the web, in time for everyone who wanted to could read it.  Not even reading it in session so the idiots congress critters who were voting on it could hear what kind of stupidity they were about to commit.

Evil or Stupid?

Someone said that giving power to politicians is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

So… Evil or Stupid?
