Most days, I wish I was still ignorant. I was much happier when I was focused on making money and not on the political shambles that is this country's leadership. Now, I am forced to stay focused on politics, because making money, staying safe, safeguarding our Democracy are all tied in with an insane group of leaders in this country.

Same for me...........for a long time, I paid little attention although I did vote.

And we are partly responsible for why this country is in the mess it's in...........

Interesting factoid, less than 50% of registered Americans turn out for presidential elections. In Europe, national elections average close to 70% of the electorate. Earlier this month in Tunisia, 70+% of the electorate turned out for national elections.

Houston, we have a problem!
