You want to see democracy in action go to a local town council meeting when a controversial topic is being discussed, you’ll see some inarticulate, nasty, off-topic rants from both sides of the aisle. This has been going on in New England for 100’s of years. If you put a selection of these rants on YouTube you could get the same crap the MSM and political websites are foisting up right now as the end of the Republican Party and the end of democracy. Sorry to bust anyone’s bubble but this is Democracy in action, it’s rude, crude, stupid, inarticulate, often not the type of discussion one would have while sipping tea but it is certainly (to quote WSC) “better than the alternative.”

I really like Charles’ site here but given the “blue blood” reaction to the current political debate I really wonder how many of those on this blog have actually gotten off the fucking computer and the virtual world and been to a real down low, drag out, filled to the breaking point, hotter and more humid than hell, over stuffed local town meeting over a controversial budget impass, zoning, or whatever issue.

Shit in Asian the legislators actually duke it the hell out.

Down ding if you want I don’t give a shit.
