Ron- didn't you study the North materials about how close we came to being under State of National Emergency then?

Actually, I would welcome it, rather than mass civil unrest.Almost all denizens would give up their already enormously eroded civil rights, to be able to remain out of harm's way! I would too.
The problem is, historically, that when a govt takes away the masses' rights, it virtually never restores them!

The second problem, a very real one, is what happens to all the soldiers with all the heavy duty weapons when their internal infrastructre, and C and C , also goes down? You of course, should know the answer to that!

Yes, I have studied political affairs extensively.

I could not disagree wtih you more about your 1790s version of America, the Land of the Free!

sorry, but your polly version of our 'democracy' is no longer valid.

we are a constitutional republic now, not a textbook democracy. Haven't you even studied the deevolution?

This is no longer the govt of the people, by the people for the people!

This has devolved to the govt of the govt, by the govt, and for the govt!

Saying that the govt is comprised of people (what would be the alternative,Ron?) is meaningless-- perpetuation and growth of bureauctic expansion across all areas of human endeveavor, and creeping control of the masses' lives and dimenishment of individual rights on all fronts has been the the keynote for a long time, Ron! You are indoctrinated with poli science 101- that disappeared, however gradiently, along with 45s and dairy freezes, Ron!

The time of apple pie, brass bands in the park and unfettered democracy has long disappeared, Ron! And, Klinton intends to continuing aiding its demise!

Ron, how extensively have you studied the PDDs and EOs now on the books, Ron?

If you are not fully knowledgeable about them, and their current status, then you know very, very little about contemporary American political realities!

I would be happy to post them here for your education or review.
