Yeah well, I tend to agree. But one question that I've been struggling with for decades (yes!) is: what in heavens name purpose does your senate serve?

A club of 100 millionaires that is supposed to oversee what the 435 commoners in the house are doing? Oh, yes we had that elitism even in Sweden, but we abandoned it in 1969. Is it maybe time for the US to join the 21st century already? 8-)
