to tell them which way the grass is growing that day. I think leaders rely too much on think tanks and not enough on the confidence of the people that put them in office. How many public opinion polls do they need to read where the majority in this country want more gun control laws, socialized medicine, government oversight, etc.. before they feel like they can make a bold move? "Too risky, might lose an election." Yet the polls show overwhelming support.

I've been told DU matters not one wit, it is the everlast stop of all politicians, one post can change the entire nation, etc.. so I really don't include DU it this observation. DU has made itself moot by the very people that use that narrative as a tool.
