i fear that the horse has LONG fled the barn.  there's no returning to what once was.  the only feasible thing for the voters to do/can do is:  WAKE TH F... K UP!  WATCH AND LISTEN CAREFULLY!  TAKE COPIOUS NOTES ON WHO VOTED AND HOW!  (WHY IS OUT OF THE QUESTION!  WE ALL KNOW WHY!)  VOTE, VOTE, VOTE ACCORDINGLY!!!!!!!

all sanity and logic has been erased, obliterated!  the legislature, "OUR" legislators, have sold us out to the highest bidders (MOSTLY EXTERNAL, FROM OTHER SHORES) - literally and figuratively - for their personal benefit!  and we, the voters, are left holding the bag for ALL the costs!  they forget that the ALL the money, FED AND LOCAL, they are spending "for our benefit" comes from our pockets - NOT THEIRS - not only in currency but in LOST OPPORTUNITY COSTS!

ultimately, and i am loathe to admit it, it has come down to US vs THEM!  together is no more, is long gone - until the "horses" are changed for a new "team".  WAKE UP PEOPLE!
