Obstructing Governmental Administration is a crime--yet we pay Congressmen to do it.

An average citizen can get charged and go to jail for something called "obstructing governmental administration." Why is it we pay Congressmen $175,000 a year plus unlimited free health care and benefits for life for doing the same thing? Could it be, as many cultures quietly wonder, that we're prisoners of our own making? That we stay home from elections that count? That we have lost our way and this is the end of civilization here? Just some questions that maybe we need to start answering. All I know is, the powerful get that way because we let them. Maybe it's time to stop that?
