Consent

I have made, if not a conscious effort, at least a moderate effort to steer away from commenting about politics on this blog. I want the primary focus to be on faith, technology, and whatever else happens to catch my fancy at the moment.

That said... the latest Rasmussen poll has, well, caught my fancy. Some interesting tidbits... out of all voters:

• 61% think that the government does not have the consent of the governed
• 71% "now view the federal government as a special interest group"
• 75% "are angry at the policies of the federal government"
• 63% "say it would be better for the country if most members of Congress are defeated this November."

Ouch.
