8. msongs, I'm reposting here my reply to you at the main Calif. thread...

11. msongs, you are often a bit too quick with the downer comments.

When are we going to realize that our Democratic officials are only as good as the pressure that we vigilantly exert upon them?

In other words, they are only as good as we are good at defending our democracy. If they are cowards and sell outs, it is largely because we have allowed them to be.

I agree with you, msongs, but SO WHAT? What do we DO about it NOW? Weep and complain over their cowardice and corruption? Or show them the way? (OR SHOW THEM THE DOOR!).
