Darleen >attitude of anything goes if we can get it to go that has been the problem. Again, I agree with you. Those in power and control should have a custodial or fiduciary attitude towards those beneath them and not just view their status as an opportunity to plunder, which it seems, they do. Of course, there is always a grand purpose or motive --- such as the war against "terrorism" or Iraq --- or, the remuneration of "invaluable" corporate executives. Isn't it strange how the same mendacious mind-set is the cause of all these problems and, I regret to say, will be the downfall of the American Empire as it was of the Roman Empire. >I do not believe in war Unfortunately, war represents the "health" of the government. It's at times of war that government gains more and more power over its own citizenry --- and I'm not talking about another nation's. I see war as a symbol of the failure to solve a dispute or as the ambition of scoundrels who create a conflict in order that they can make violence on someone else because they do not wish to solve a difference in a non-violent way. >respect is something that means equal for all Doesn't it say something like that in the US Constitution? It's unfortunate that those who are elected to uphold that Constitution, don't read it more often.
