America Know it..

The Pubs have stolen 2 elections and seem to have gotten away with it. But Truth and History have ways to unravel the knots/distraction/ deception/etc that cover the tracks.....

In due Time, the Bushies/Pubs will destroy themselves. Unfortunately, us 97 per centers will also have to pay a price, in blood/money/hope.

Yes, after reflecting for .003 Nanoseconds...the GREATEST NATIONAL ROBBERY has happened to our very own America.... We wuz Robbed not only of the election itself, but of the lost opportunities during the last 4 years and now...during the next 4 years.... We will lose 8 years of Progress under the LOLO Bush.

And now, salt on the wound time, he is cutting domestic programs to fund the tax cuts for the rich.... We got robbed and only now do we open our eyes.... too late....the thief is out the door already.

Spending OUR credit Cards he stole from us....

Come, we go drink, lament our loss.

3. I don't know where you get your statistics

but that isn't important. You're correct in the main part of your points.

What I've been afraid of for a long time, in the context of growth of mindless TV, and social promotion in the public school system, is what seems to me to be an increasing inability for America to heal itself (solve it's own diseases) because it no longer has any historical memory, nor any analytical ability. Hence, it can't tell when it's being "played" by a dishonest government.

(McCarthyism, I'm convinced, was killed as quickly as it was because America was a smarter country in the 50s than it is now. More historical knowledge and better public schools at least in the American centers of power (the northeast).)

However, dumbing down the population will only work for so long. The peasantry in England before the Magna Carta didn't have a lot of historical or analytical ability either. Still, they had apparently, an intrinsic threshold that was crossed by a despotic and corrupt government. Thus triggering a shift from feudalism to a more democratic form in an early western government.

My point is, there's hope, but only in a pretty abstract way. I suggest weapons training cause I think it's going to get pretty ugly before it gets better. With all the shit it's suffered for the last 5 years, America is still substantially oblivious to the treachery at the top.

4. Treachery at the TOP has always been a prob.

It only get worse when they (the Top) arrogantly sell theit shit to us and we suck for it believing its infallible....

5. I think more than 20% of people in America

know it, but don't want to deal with it. Victims of a crime will often choose silence.

6. The number can only be guessed at...I use the amount of voters

that went Red and factoring in the nonvoters ....

Roughly 20 % of the whole from either Party voted...60 percent did not....

You have mentioned many of those who did not vote know it but elected to remain silent... I agree.
