We, the people, have lost our way... we continue giving the power back to lousy, no-good, corrupt, vile, rotten politicians. And as soon as we put them back in power, we think something will be different! Politics today is like a grim scene from the Dark Ages, when people, in the grip of famine, would start a "stew" with whatever leftover food they had. They would keep adding to it, even if the meats they added were old and rotten. They called it a "Perpetual Stew!" It's time to toss out the bad and start again, fresh!
