The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Karl,
I feel your frustration, but I point out that you're pointing at an honest attempt to fix something that is broken. Can these folks change the inbreeding at Washington DC? Maybe, but perhaps that's really a job that John Q. Public needs to do this November. (Can Congress get any worse?)
But this collection of butchers, bakers, and slapstick makers represents constituents on both sides of the aisle. When the ACLU and the Christian Coalition are on the same side of an argument, it becomes hard out there for a TelCo or Cable pimp.
I hear your frustration, Karl, and I share it. But let's cheer for the runners of the race instead of dismissing the futility of a track that kinda looks like a circle.
In empathy, but in the fight,
Robb
