Those of us who are dedicated to working for the government sometimes call it the "disease." Why else would we choose lower pay, fighting red-tape, dealing with sometimes less than stellar elected officials unless there was something more. The thought that you are working for the good of more than just yourself is that something more. When you turn on the West Wing, you watch characters with the same passion for government,its power and its problems. The debates we saw from characters we connected with taught so much about our country and its democracy. That can only lead to better things. After May, what will be on TV that can make things better? The early years of the West Wing were the best - I'd love to have Aaron Sorkin back and to have the show continue!

I watched last night and thought the show was wonderful. This show finds ways to explain the complex issues that face our democracy through characters that we can care about. What could be better? Please! Let the show evolve and continue!
