ROCK-BOTTOM • Republicans are for the inert-status-quo. While Democrats should be more ‘go-man-go.’ • Reps. growl: “if it ain’t broke, why try & fix it?” Dems. bark-back: “it IS broke, we must try & fix it!” • Progress is a stop & go process, a see-saw action. Proceed & advance to achieve it, without all the fanfare, distractions & nonsense. • Or stay stuck-in-the - middle, no pain & no gain, that should be verboten. • Or we’ll hit rock-bottom, drowned in the ocean, then be over, all but forgotten! — Ray Laccetti
