Quote:
By God, everyone is now so fond of having guns pointed at their heads that they've abandoned any notion of maintaining a system of governance that is remotely functional.
Rather than having two elected bodies that present policy, stage debates, and take votes, lawmakers now want to offload the duty of making tough choices to a "Super Committee."
And if that fails, there will be a trigger that shoots everyone where it hurts them most.
That's what it takes, in 2011, for our elected officials to be forced into performing the bare minimum of their job descriptions.
