I've always known that "life is not fair" but this past election has left me with disappointment in the views and values of the American people. That outright lying and "making up" information and events is OK as long as you get your point across no matter who or how many people get hurt in the process. Watching the events this year is like a terrible accident where you don't want to see it but you just can't turn your eyes away and you are mesmerized by it. And yes, I do believe Washington has been broken for some time. Things for the overall benefit for the American people do not get done as smoothly and cost effective as possible. Money has power. And politicians have their hands in the cookie jar for their benefit not for the well being of the American people.  I can only hope and pray we as a country will make it though all of this confusion and ugliness without too much damage for our future generations.
