That I find something funny does not mean I am pleased about any situation I laugh at either.More or less I agree. That I do, however, does not indicate I'm pleased about the stated situation's extancy.Well, Xelor, wake up, they are almost 100% frauds, liars, cheats and scoundrels.I wouldn't call any elected office holder "my hero;" however, any of them for whom I vote are people in whom I necessarily put some measure of trust. To the extent that Americans elect voting members of Congress, we all have to place some measure of trust in the sagacity, integrity/good character and perspicacity of our countrymen. I find nothing funny in discovering that any of those individuals -- voters or those voted for -- are in fact curs, cads and self-serving charlatans.
The only reason that I trust my government as much as I do is that the cheats and scoundrels and frauds have been keeping each other in check for 200 years, but they seem to be more in step with each other the past two decades, and that worries me.
Sometimes laughing is the lone response left for a sane person.
