Agreed. Most people are pretty sane, but they often don't vote and don't get involved enough. I do NOT know why we just didn't go with Single Payer Universal Health Care. Works well. Oh WELL...that doesn't really relate to the Shutdown.

The idiots in Congress are still getting paid---and I would bet big bucks that fools in their Tea Party controlled districts will still vote for the fools even as they lose their benefits.

Remember that the world was created On October 23, 6004 BC, at 9 o'clock in the morning according to a 17th century fellow that many idiots in this country still believe told the truth (SEE, I did get some science in here!)

Hope that you feel better soon!
