TLC, can't thank you enough for posting your #1180 response. You articulated my thoughts better than I ever could, and most probably, the thoughts of most of us on SI. Most of us truly love America. Most of us have a sense of "Fair Play", and realize that what we have been seeing in the last few days is totally beyond belief --a direct slap in the face to that sense of "Fair Play." But this is way beyond anything any of us dreamed could happen. You managed to put the issue in just a few words.....and then, realizing it is a true statement, we are faced ourselves with the question WHY, and WHAT IS HIS/THEIR GAIN???? Unfortunately, anyone who has studied History, comes face to face with the answer.....
Gore made a tactical decision to challenge the Constitution. That's a fact. Nobody that understands what is going on here will dispute that. He made a political decision to do it, and that decision was made long before the election took place.
What I think is happening is that federal law in the United States is being challenged, and the underlying motivation of that challenge is a selfish desire of a small group of men to assume control of the United States government no matter what they have to do to do it. I think they sincerely believe they are above the law. In other words, the end justifies the means. I think they have, for example, hired people to become members of SI and foster unrest and disharmony. SI appears to me to be a little microcosm of the bigger picture. It's really interesting because eight years ago, this particular microcosm didn't exist. And that is the power of the Internet...but that's another topic. <G> |
