WASHINGTON: The continued shutdown of the government is good to the extent the government is shut down. Most estimates are that about 25 percent of the U.S. Government shut down. The good ends there.

WASHINGTON: It is a full-circle proposition. At the beginning of the republic, the idea of the “right and duty” of voting had little or no consideration, because the numbers of voters was less critical. Thoughtful voters were of importance.
