civic duty

Here's what you need to understand about the upcoming election. No one is going to solve our problems and send us back to the happy days of cheap energy. If we cheer for that delusion, we end up with a scapegoat and an even bigger mess. Yet that's where we're headed.
Some may not even vote, because it doesn't matter. While I think it's fair to say Washington is broken (probably more accurately brokered), that doesn't abdicate us from our civic duty. We choose our government, and we get the government we deserve.
If we fall for the slick-talking, snake oil salesman in the fancy suit, then I think we know what to expect. 
A bellyache.
