We send our elected representatives far from home to conduct the people’s business. We send them to Washington, D.C., where they form what our flyboys (and flygirls) call “a
target-rich environment” for the lobbyists and for the political party
leadership.
We send them far from us … to conduct our business. There was no other way in
the 18th and 19th centuries and most of the 20th. In the 21st century, of
course, this is absurd.
