With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

Once again, another elected official gives us one more reason to lack faith in the political process.

Maybe it's time we rethink the way this process of democracy is conducted. I think we are all just a little too entrenched in the status quo to realize that it is time for a change.

It's time to start from scratch. You want to talk about political reform? How about we talk about political reconstruction.

How about we put in place a system to elect a governor of New York State... instead of a governor of New York City. How long will the City continue to flourish while the rest of the state flounders?

There was a time I thought Byron Brown would be a force for change in this city. While I have no doubt he has done great things for Buffalo, he simply hasn't brought the meat to the table. We're still being fed appetizers long after dinner should have been served.

As for the above mentioned Elliot Spitzer... I think enough has been said by others.

The idea of change never seemed more appealing than now.
