Why are so many congress members out of touch with the world and their constituents? The Congressional review of Facebooks practices were particularly worrying. What’s the disconnect between the hill and the people?

We live in an age where many people depend on digital space for their livelihood and recreation but it seems like a fair amount of Congress has never learned anything about the web.

Have you been hassled about the sword at all? I know that has got to be above approved carry blade lengths for most states!

That is a little surprising, but then again they probably have to worry more about crazy drunks in the park with guns than some guy just trying to get his LARP on. What has been the closest thing to the D & D campaigns that started you in your quest that you have experienced? Was it a vista or a cave something else entirely?

So in many ways it comes down to a problem with the system itself? Gerrymandering and the like?

What would it take from an insider perspective to really motivate a change to that system in this country? Do you feel the electoral college is part of the failing of our electoral process as well?

I actually don’t have a problem with the salary, but I do agree that terms should be limited. Monetary and Material campaign contributions really need to be illegal as well. It’s one thing for tax payers to provide a salary for our representatives, but it’s ridiculous that in 2018 it still feels like corporations can buy congress.

But the money in politics is not likely to ever change unfortunately, if we could introduce some kind of term limits though maybe things could finally start to turn around.
