Do you have a "Disney Land" view of politics?
Has there been power struggles in Washington?
Have those struggles been pretty? Open? Fair? Honest?
Do people - do what is in their best interest?
Do you really think my view on government are extreme?
Or, am I saying things about government that are simply better left unsaid?

If you ever make it to Washington, I'll give you a grand tour and a few private lessons in government and politics....I'll even bring in some Repub friends as guest lecturers!
Ironically I going to be in the D.C. area over the weekend. My sister-in-law and her husband are career government employees and very liberal, they try to give me "private lessons" all the time so I don't need to take you up on your offer. Funny thing is that for people who went straight from college to government work - they would be more interested in life outside the beltway so they would have better insight into the needs of the people they serve.
