The next time you’re driving the kid to Cub Scouts over that bridge, say to yourself, ‘I paid taxes and my government cares about me and they made sure my cash went into securing this bridge and not into the coffer of some no-bid corporation or contractor.’
Say it, go ahead.
Notice that feeling in the pit of your stomach? That’s the horrible suspicion that you’ve been had, that nothing’s up to code, that no one’s looking out for you, that anything can be stolen right out from underneath you and your family at any minute. It’s desperation.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead (Mostly what other say will be in italics, what I say will not. There will be occasions when this is messed up or forgotten, but generally it will true- for those keeping track of the opining vs the reporting!)
