re: I'm sure you could do better.
"To criticize Congress for their human nature is counterproductive. You think you could do a better job? Run for office."
Maybe I'll first run for being a Moderator.
Not.
I think that with a modest amount of education, equal to learning how to drive, that a random pick from a phone book would give you a pretty good congress- light years ahead of this one.
The above mentioned modest education would include through study of US constitution [less wordage than involved most driving manuals], and a study of Robert's Rules of Order and various drills/simulations which are about equal to what one gets as a student driver.
