<< Robert, as I've pointed out to you before, your derision plays directly into the hands of the would-be despots. >>
Hey. Papaya King, whom I assume lives in our democratic country, implies that we are in danger of losing our freedoms, and we need to be armed. There is absolutely no substance to that fear. The only threat that I see to our freedoms, comes from the Religious Right, and, fortunately, they are a small part of our government.
I would be interested in how you feel that my actions play into the hands of would-be despots.
<< The simple truth is that politicians cannot be trusted. Ever. >>
Some politicians are better than others. Some do a very good job in congress, others do a poor job. Your general statement, condemning our entire political system, is a generality and is absurd. And...... if you don't like what you see, or if you don't trust a politician, you vote him out.
We have checks and balances in this country, and they have worked damn well. Unfortunately, no system is perfect and we have a lot of problems. We'll always have problems. There will never be a perfect system.
Sadly, Yugoslavia didn't have strong enough checks and balances, and Slob Milosevic has been able to declare himself Fascist dictator for life. Hopefully it will be a short life.
