Believe me, there are many, many Americans like me who don't like it any more than you do. So we've been forced to choose the "lesser of two evils" so to speak. I hope that someday in the future our body of elected officials will be made up of a much more diverse group including more equal amounts of men and women and varied ethnicities. The government will not truly be the voice of the people until it is actually made up of the varied peoples of the United States.
