Friction

It's obviously the people's conviction
That our congress runs better with friction
A well-oiled machine
Though ostensibly clean
Is a piece of political fiction

  8. The main thing with the friction caused by politicians is being able to criticize them opening. Fortunately many of SS readers and contributors are blessed in this way. Long may it be so.
