The trend is to enact laws and programs that are destructive to most of us and enhance the comfort of a few elites. I'm biased, of course, because I write about politics. It interests me. Governments have become extremely powerful institutions, through which great sums of money flow. Against all this, we have each other, in the spare time left over from trying to live our lives, and we have the voices we can raise.
Voting can, at the local level at least, still make a difference.
