In a free society, you make your own choices and live with the consequences.
But when government has its fingers in every pie, we all have to "make our will known" about every freakin' pie.
And then watch as it is ignored because there are way too many pies for people to notice everything everyone is saying about every pie.
But each pie is of special concern to some well-monied interest and they will make their views known to those stuffing their pie holes.
