How do you begin something that has so many connective elements? Where does a complicated yet necessary conversation get started? What if we wanted to solve a policy matter you are most concerned about, yet also mine, and a thousand others? We all go to our a local politician, a state legislator, and congressperson, but if that has been done, is still being done, and must continually be done, will any of us change the political policy dynamic? Hopefully. Maybe. Probably not. This is a constant, often impossible dilemma to escape from.

.

The dilemma is even more impossible when you consider every valid policy desired. Yes, I could be an exceptional advocate for my issue or issues, but it is likely only a few, out of many exceptional advocates, will break through the muddle. Also think of how many fade away just before their goal could have been accomplished. The poor, who are disconnected for many reasons, also get short shrift in the political sphere. The greatest ideas may fail to get through, something we realize after its time had come and gone, or only would have been known because a lucky happenstance occurred. Others may be thwarted for any number of reasons like the steam running out of the cause’s proponents.

Mostly serious stuff w/ bits of sarcastic fluff. I wish more could be told yet bios have room 4 short & bold. You’ll see less length isn’t my greatest strength.
