My focus has been so caught up in the shenanigans of the federal government for a couple of decades now. I used to believe there were elected officials at that level that truly were wanting to govern in a way that would benefit those who sent them there. Surely, there must be one or two! I think my Pollyanna status has expired when it comes to this subject.

State and local government, while more attuned to a community's needs, I fear is no better. Can it be possible that all politicians are bought and paid for, or...at least enough of them that the true servants will be rendered ineffective?

I just want to live where I want to live, sell my art and not worry about how many laws I am breaking trying to make a living, know that the food that I am buying is not poisoning me and be free to roam the earth. What category does that fall into? I think I am basically saying f@&* the government. Oops, gotta go...I am hearing the black helicopters coming for me! 😉

P.S. Love that photo...no surprise to you, I'm sure.
