I meant the American people at this point in time. We got rid of Jim Crow. We got out of Viet Nam, eventually. I would not classify Vietnam as "Something really horrible" except in the sense that all war is horrible. I think the danger in the US is less from some dictator seizing power or some horribly abusive leader being voted in, then from a "softer" tyranny where government gradually controls more and more and people slowly get used to the idea. Its all ready happening I just hope it can at least be checked if not reversed. Tim
