Would you avoid hiring a lawyer who would not read the case against you?

Would you change physicians if you found out your physician never read your family history during diagnosis and treatment?

Would you stay away from a dentist who would not view your xrays before drilling?

Would you change stockbrokers if your's never researched the companies whose stock s/he recommended for acquisition?

In all of the above, of course you would.

So, why would anyone extend the contract of an agent who spent your money on projects when s/he never read the information documents on the projects? That's what you do when you re-elect a congressperson too lazy to read, research and comprehend anyh bill before voting on it. Your congressperson is your agent - is that the service you expect and condone?

Oh, wait. The congressperson does not have to read anything because the party leadership has already read it and told him/her how to vote. Hmmm, does that make the congressperson the agent of the party or the district/voters? Isn't that obvious?
