A couple of times a year is plenty for Brortz, Savage and Limbaugh. None have changed a hair. I've been sampling Limbaugh for more than 10 years.

And again. I am not so much interested in thought as I am in news. I can think for my self and when I went to University, the Business Faculty were proponents of Reagan and my Economics Profs were a step away from Communism. I've known the arguments for a long time.

I am not interested in social conservatism. The government should stay out of our bedroom. Period. The churches should stay out of government. Period.

I know enough about psychology to know that deregulation can't work. I decided this in about 1988. I have seen nothing since then to change my mind. On the other hand. I have seen that over-regulation causes problems. But we can't rely on self interest and greed to set public priorities. That's what has caused the housing crisis and our dependence the worst governments to supply most of our oil. It was said that "What is good for General Motors is good for America." To a large degree that was true. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Exxon or United Health Care.

The approach that is needed is not to drown government in the bath tub. Government is a necessary evil. What is needed is to put our best people in government and to have them work hard to improve it and make it work. We need to stop treating politics like NASCAR. We need to stop picking a side and cheering them no matter what they do. We need to hold the people we elect to their word. Make them do what they promised Democrats need to push the Democrats to do better. Republicans need to push the Republicans.
