It's really easy to get sucked into the pretend world of on-line where everyone has the right answer and would do a much better job than the actual people in reality do.
When I first got active in politics I found DU (saw Skinner on teevee when Little Boots first got sworn in!) and followed it. Learned so much in those early days! Well it sure seemed like I could do a better job too! Why didn't pols know just what to say and when to say it???
After being active locally a few years I jumped into statewide stuff and took a leadership role. Let me tell you that was damn hard! I had 14 counties to work with, each with their own view of what should be done and how we should do it. And we were supposedly on the same team! *sigh*
But here in DU land it is simpler than that.
