Pessimism Is Abroad In The Land

SEE HERE Chuck Colson highlights the current pessimism in the land in a brief summary of the current disenchantment with what is passing for representative government these days. It's not, not representative that is. If it were, then the representatives would be interested in the fact that the majority of the people want them to stop doing what they are doing. There is no doubt that the government is not working as it should. The question is: What should we do about it?

Colson concludes in part:

So we find ourselves in a potentially dangerous situation—an American public angry at its elitist leaders, who are at best oblivious to and at worst contemptuous of the will of the people.

No free society can function long under such conditions. It’s a perfect recipe for a populist revolt—certainly at the polls, hopefully not by other means.
