Congress

I have become convinced that members of congress do not want the office because of the potential for raw excitement. Looking at a day in congress written out has proved my impressions of the way congress operates to be false. Not that I ever pictured sessions of congress to be an adrenaline rush, but it actually turned out to look more dry than I imagined. All that effort and money to get elected to a position of authority over very mundane matters. The fact that there are extremely serious matters of national importance occasionally tossed into the jumble of boredom doesn't seem to help; if anything, it makes things worse. Switching gears between designating Postal Service facilities and deciding on the fate of terrorists isn't exciting, it's stressful.
Not to mention points of personal occupational importance are mixed in to seemingly minute details. The writer comments on the "guns in the parks" rider on a bill to which some democrats granted approval, in the author's opinion, to appear pro-gun without consequences. The joke is on them, however. The bill, with strange rider attached, is making progress. I think I would quickly grow tired of keeping track of all the little career-killing/career-making details such as these.
