Well there was time way back in that day.....
I find it telling that this thread has become less about the Senate overall and more about Ben's approval woes. Not anything about Ben, but more so about people's attitude about the Senate. It is easy to vote disapprove, then to complain/explain it publically and certainly more easy then actually working to change it.
Is it much better to do what I do, just accept its flaws and vote yes just because I know that I couldn't do much better, or to have to high asperation of the goal of the senate and then be disappointed when it doesn't happen, I mean activity is a problem in the senate.
