This is why politics is important. This is why who you elect is important, because this is what government actually does. I know that people don`t get government, and they think government is boring, and they think government is not important. This is why it`s important, because, when the rubber meets the road, and the water is six feet high in your house, and everything`s destroyed, it is government you have to turn to. And it`s not about stunts. And if your government is doing stunts to own the libs or to hurt people that you don`t like, that isn`t government. This is government.
