It's what can pass. Like water downhill, it goes through the path of least resistance. None of us actually know how much legislation is being attempted at any given time. We just see what passes that the media decided to inform us of.

This is the result of stupidity from the top down. Actually, the maliciousness of the stupidity is why I use the word moron. Any decency and reason is not required for the best of you (assuming you are American), and so you cannot avoid a worsening situation unless radical action is taken to stop it.

Take that for what you will. I see a country that accepts the violence that is being perpetrated against it from its rulers. A population of battered wives that make excuses for the abuse to continue.

I say this as a person that does not currently live under the fear of someone kicking in my door at 3am and putting a gun in my face. I like to think I can do better, but maybe I'm full of shit.
