“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed, and hence clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” —H.L. Mencken
Soap Box Ravings is truly amazed by how government and/or politicians at any level continue to react as described by H. L. Mencken above. So much of the in-fighting takes place over "phony" issues that the real issues are never decided. For one example, read our Constitution and see how far the government has gotten into your life using "interstate commerce."
