  Jesus, that woman is one of the reasons why I've become so cynical about politics. It's just about scoring points now. What that article should say is"woman chooses to be disruptive at public hearing, gets kicked out." If I decide to a public hearing and play rap music really loud as a protest and I get kicked out, it doesn't mean the system is broken. It actually means it works.

    So publicly enumerating all of the little venalities surrounding a bill is the same as playing "rap music really loud as a protest"? edit: original post title was The US has been downgraded from a “full democracy” to a “flawed democracy”

      Going into a meeting to be disruptive is not "participating in democracy". She went there to get arrested. She succeeded.
