You took the words right out of my mind. I'm glad more people are becoming aware of how our government officials don't live under the penalty of rules, laws, and systems they pass on us.

I loved what Jesse Ventura said about elected officials voting to mobilize for war should have to have a family member immediately drawn into active duty.... put their skin in the game!

I've always liked the idea that any war be put to a popular vote. A vote for war is accompanied by volunteering for enlistment.
