To the editor:

I have found that as I get older, contrary to the recent social trend, I am becoming more politically incorrect. Even two years ago, I would never have said what I am about to say for fear that it was inappropriate or unfair. I feel, however, that many people in our government today are either uninformed, stupid or corrupt. I don’t think our society is beyond saving, but I do think that things have gotten very serious and if more people don’t quickly become aware of that seriousness, we may well be lost.

I don’t believe that we need a change of government, we need a wholesale change of the people running our government. I am really not sure if, in the long run, that Republicans will be any better in office than the Democrats have been, but I, personally will not vote for any Democrat in the near future. If nothing else, we must give a clear message to all legislators in the upcoming mid-term election that they, too, will be held responsible for irresponsible or criminal behavior and hope that our message prods the leaders of our government to clean up their act.
