You're right, I too believe there's hope for the Americans. I'm just wondering what the fuck is Bush still doing in the White House?

Were there any attempts to impeach him?

Froderik, the Doors is definitelly the best band that ever came out of LA and one of the top on my list of best bands ever! I just don't see how the Doors ended up in this Bush- Hussein conversation, but anyways...

Well, here's what I think. Last post, I refered to the American Revolution against the Crown. In those days, the Sun never set on the British Empire. I know it's so because I have a beautiful Pusser's Rhum bottle with all kinds of wonderful daily prayers and slogans from that era of history. (Also says "To the with that blows, the ship that goes, and the lass who loved a sailor")

Anyway, we had big trouble when the Crown tried to prohibit Americans from minting and using our own currency. The tax acts really put some people over the edge. But they had been teetering there for a very long time due to creeping encroachment on their liberties.

But even that had not been the beginning of it. All over the world, Brittish colonies were falling into chaos and revolt.

We solved the problem with the Brittish Crown, not by cutting off their heads or storming the castles like the French did with their royalty problem. We just made them more-or-less irrelavent.

I think the same thing will happen here. There are signs of it cropping up all over the place. We're not going to storm the capitol or carry off a revolutionary coupe. I think we're just going to quit paying Federal taxes and quit following Federal mandates, thereby relegating those bozos inside the beltway to the drunken uncle status they have so richly earned.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Actually Ginger, I really dig your point of view.  I failed to see deeper in my post...I think I was looking for one of the more obvious reasons why the gov't ISNT interested in our safety and well-being currently.  What with all this patriotism and defending the American way and so forth...you think it might be a little easier to look at our system in place, and see how we are strangling it in the name of war-mongering (flawed as that system may already be) But, you hit it on the head....I totally agree on both points...school and taxes.  Dont even get me started on standardized testing.....

Another good point is the cultural perspective that is gained in other countries....people are aware that the world is a bigger place than just Cleveland or Wichita.  In smaller countries, its almost a daily necessity to be able to function under the auspices of different cultures....or so I would think.

No cussin here sister! You da MAN!....er...uh...yeah....

Well shit! I was looking forward to a good debate. Damn! ::alieneyesa::
If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs,
you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors,
shall all become wolves.  It seems to be the law of our general
nature, in spite of individual exceptions.
