Just because a word or phrase is old doesn't mean it's how people speak anymore. Hence why we don't speak "ye olde English". I don't go around saying, "Thine locks beist quite foul! And thy luck downtrodden." I say, "Your hair doesn't look so good. Bad luck at the Great Clips?" It's been decades since I took English classes, and we never used "an" in that way. The word "an" should be followed by vowel sounds, like, "That's an idiotic thing to say!" While "a" should be followed by consonants, like, "That's a ridiculous hat!" It's easier to say and understand. It just makes sense. That's why we have the two words that have the same function.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the Bible doesn't actually state that the world is 6,000 years old. That was just some math done using the stated ages of people within the Bible to work backward and figure out the age of the universe. But no one in the Bible says, outright, that the world is 6,000 years old.

And how you can say that they aren't "directly beholden to one party or another" is completely beyond me. Is that what the "D" and "R" mean..? "Not biased"? I'm pretty sure the VAST majority of Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, etc. all vote along party lines most, if not all, of the time. If you think otherwise, you've got your head in the sand.

Sooooo... we're supposed to let the corrupt bureaucrats just sit there in office for life, without term limits? And let them continue to make decisions that the public, the people they are SUPPOSED to represent, do NOT want?

{sarcasm}That sounds really smart! Yes. Let's just let them be. They've been in office for 20 years. They MUST know what they're doing. Yup. {/sarcasm}

Oh, they know what they're doing. They're either taking corporate money from lobbyists to make decisions based on what those corporations want, regardless of what the rest of the population's wishes are. Or, they're doing what they think is best for the country. In case you hadn't noticed, most politicians do NOT work for the people anymore. They suck up to us and get us to believe that they do what we want, and once they're in office they do whatever they want, or think is right for us (or themselves, if they're greedy bastards).

I don't know about you, but I don't need someone to tell me what's good for me. If the people elect you into office, you're supposed to do what they tell you to do. You're not their babysitter. You're supposed to be their representative and steward.
