Citizenship

I am not a "subject" of my country.

I am a "citizen".

What does that mean?

I pay attention to the politicians who run the country in my name.

If I disagree with the politicians, I let them know it.

If I agree with them, I let them know that as well.

And, for the most part, I'm polite about it.

I must say that right now I'm not happy with "my" politicians.

I say "my" politicians because I don't think that I am being properly represented.

"Bailout"?

"Stimulus"?

My word, I do believe that we been snookered.

And our children and grandchildren will be paying for all this.

You can diss a man, or his family with impunity. When you nail his paycheck, look to your political life, Comrade! For the citizenry will remember...
