The Land of the Crazy People

I do not pretend to understand what is happening in the American Congress. It seems to be this:

First a law was passed.

Then the law was challenged in the court system and the law survived.

Then there was a presidential election. The challenger, who said the law was no good, was defeated about as badly as Napoleon at Berezina.

Not content with losing the election, the opponents of the law have tried approximately forty times to repeal the law. They have failed.

Now the opponents of the law have taken the American government hostage. They claim that they will shut down the American government if they do not get their way.

Two types of people negotiate in such a manner: Spoiled children and terrorists.

You may decide to which group belong the opponents of the law.

Nevertheless, they are politically, if not medically, insane.
