Anger? Yeah, I do see that. It's mostly frustration, disappointment, and worry. Perhaps concerns could be addressed rather then pointing out the obvious response to problems and perceived problems. Understandably, people are fed to and many struggle to keep up: Wizard of Laws has a recent post about all the bills sponsored by Whitmer. Is it me or is this much applauded busy work, to keep people running around like chickens and needing to put fires out.? Distractions? What the...yep, makes me a bit angry. http://www.rightmichigan.com/story/2009/10/27/101621/61

Truly, my intention was to tell you what I really think and what I want: Genuine, direct, and transparent response to what I believe are valid concerns and questions. Perhaps you can respond to my questions upstream. Very honestly, the reason I feel you would be the one to answer is because I respect you greatly. BTW, so much so that if you, JGillman, and CS were to run for office, I'd be ever so grateful. Everyone isn't 'qualified' to be able to take advantage of that option.

I can understand that you have a lot going on. Please excuse my pulling on your sleeve... Still, I would and do appreciate your input.
