"It's a sham"

The best editorial we have seen to date in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram daily newspaper. It was written by an Arlington business owner, community panelist writer. We should get more of those, real people.

Highlights below, though you will want to read the entire article.

Our government has never been more dysfunctional than it is today.

Well, maybe it has, but I wasn’t paying attention until a few years ago.

Many of you still aren’t. I’m taking it upon myself to point out that your failure to keep abreast of what is really happening in Austin and D.C. is costing us dearly.

The people we elect know that we are not paying attention. They know that they can get away with almost anything just short of pedophilia.

The failures of our elected people can be pinpointed if you pay attention. If you don’t, the bragging and excuses they give in their newsletters and the brief bits you read on the Internet and in newspapers will make sense.

Please think about this and get involved. If you don’t, you can expect more of the same.
