There is an underlying thread of corruption everywhere! I'd love for it to all go away... but, I don't live in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood -- I live in reality!

It is what it is. And we can only do, as individuals, what we can to rid our nation of this. As I've stated before, America has become greedy, bloated and it's a "what have you done for me lately?" mentality. Once we start looking at things realistically, maybe, just maybe, we can start to clean it up.
