The Primaries and their Promises

I've been following the primaries with about the same enthusiasm as most Americans: interest diffused by disgust.

The thing that occurs to me, there's a lot of talk about change and reform. But this happens every election - "We're the reform party," was the battle cry one year. This year it's "Change."

Who is running that's qualified to even know what change is necessary? These slogans come from two parties that created the problems that need reforms in the first place, so why do we think they're capable of making anything different? We're idiots if we think so. To paraphrase Albert Einstein:

It's insanity to think that a solution can come from the same people that created the problem.
