[Magdalen] Please help me understand

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Sadly, it is all too common in the US for elected officials to vote or 
behave in such a way that they get pats on the back from their followers, 
even if their activities will never bear fruit. In fact in many situations, 
they do this knowing that it's all public relations and will not only not 
come to pass, but will in most cases strengthen the support or undercurrent 
of us vs. them, that exists in the situation, in their favor....   Members 
of the senate and house in Washington DC, who KNOW things will not pass will 
often vote for something so that the folks at home think that they're trying 
to save the day, when they're only trying to save themselves. IMNSHO...
