This dialogue from Hot Watch explains Our Government today very well


I have to laugh at this Scene between Archie and Mike from The Episode Hot watch because it kind of explains how our Government works today:


Come on, weren't you suspicious? I mean, why would a guy sell you a $300 watch for 25 bucks? Listen, wise guy, a guy comes and offers me a deal, I don't ask no questions.
I know.
I know you don't ask any questions.
Nobody does, and that's what's wrong with this country.
Ah, jeez, he's off on "the country" again! That's right.
That's right.
Nobody's asking questions anymore.
Let me ask you a question.
What? Why don't you shut up? You see? That's it.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Nobody cares.
Not even Congress.
President Nixon does whatever he wants and Congress lets him get away with it.
They don't ask any questions.
What are you talking about? Congress can ask Mr.
Nixon anything they want.
Sure, they can, but it won't do any good.
He never answers anyone.
I don't blame him.
They're all a bunch of dumbbells.
