Help me figure this out . . .

I was born into a large farm family. I have a ninth-grade formal education and I cannot understand why our politicians, overloaded with intellectual baggage, have completely forgotten the art of compromise and common sense.

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins tries to insert human values to the issues but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Would the solution be to have more women as politicians for a more civil country?

Didn’t any of them ever notice that there is no “I” in “teamwork”?

Politicians seem to be totally oblivious that their roles are to serve the people, not themselves.
