  Visiting the lobby

  Yes, here's the thing -- unless the political culture changes, really changes, we will get nowhere fast.  I read today that Stephen Hawking, on a visit to China, told a gathering that he feared that the Earth would become like Venus -- "250 degress centigrade and raining sulfuric acid." (AP, June 21).  Whew!  I'm pretty sure we don't have umbrellas for that.

  This Congress, this administration, are not going to do anything to change this.  We need new people representing our interests, our concerns.  If we don't have them, we need to create in their districts enough uproar that they will begin to change things -- in a manner commensurate with the danger we face -- or be thrown out of office.

  Many folks are disgusted and ready to give up on politics.  Don't do it folks.  Hang in there.  Get on TV and radio talk shows, show up at the candidates' summer events, spoil their picnics if you have to -- make lots and lots of noise!
