I follow the political circus less and less... and I think your point is exactly right, and fewer and fewer people do stay involved because those in power seem to represent more and more of an "extreme fringe" rather than the more solid citizens somewhere closer to the middle.

Yeah, I remember reading you have a very specific mission... and I like the idea of using Steemit as "documentation." My wife is actually considering serializing a book she's writing on Steemit, again to have a "permanent" record.
