Reply #61: I wasn't as worried the other times as I am this time. [View All]

I am really worried about our country becoming a third world banana republic ruled by a dictator and an elite class, who wage constant war so that they don't have to govern or account for their corruption. I never worried about that before because I felt the foundation of our country was strong, but I don't feel that anymore.

I feel that if we overthrow this consortium of fascists, we just can't sit back anymore and say that the system works. That's what they said after Nixon that the system works after all. What no one realized then, was that for the system to work Nixon had to honor it, which he did.

The problem with the Bushistas is that they are gutting the safeguards of our Constitution rendering it a quaint but ineffectual document. We need to bring our Constitution up to date for the future so what has occurred in the last decade can never happen again. For starters, we need an ammendment defining what the role of the Supreme Court really is and what it isn't. We want no more Supreme Court selected Presidents in the future.

I'm not middle aged but on the cutting edge of elderly, so I hope I can sneak in. :-)
