Jim Dandy: it doesn't register on your gripe scale because you're used to it. We have a government out of control, huge spending and arrogant representatives. Plus our media is corrupt (except for Fox) and they almost always favor the liberal view. (despite your objections to Fox, they always have both sides of an argument presented. Even Hannity has a couple of liberal guests in each and every program. Interestingly, they couldn't be further apart on their views but they are friends too).
