get grumpy..

now, how often have you watched the news or read the paper and been enraged by some governmental decision that makes no sense, or that will adversely affect you or lots of people you know, or that is clearly just happening to save money...?
its you're me, this happens pretty much everyday
and i know that they didn't listen to everyone about iraq, and i know that by-and-large they are not to be trusted...but we only get to really tell politicians what we think of them once every four years...
however
there seems to be a certain weightyness about petitions lodged directly with number ten itself, and here they all are...
join one, start one, or just read a few and marvel at the awful decisions that ordinary people are trying to stop being made into legislation, that you have never even heard about, but you would never want to happen, if it were up to you..
well, it kind of is..
