Hopefully the US will not need to descend to levels of Dickens-esque social degeneration before turning back LOL! Creation of a Dickens-like subservient class, presided over by the degenerate elite, looks like it will continue to the breaking point. And with the addition of modern debt and surveillence techniques to make it more interesting than when the Brits occupied America... Gee, we know what worked last time --- time to recruit for the Revolution ! Since California is being treated like an enemy of the administration, that would make a good New America ... <vbg> (Msg to Admiral Poindexter -- please note the <vbg> above -- for the Totally Aware, this indicates "humor, irony, sarcasm")

>>The Federal government increasingly resembles the corrupt British governments of the 1700s America rebelled against<< Yeah, and after all, aren't the bushies relatives of the English crownies ? I smelled sweetheart contracts to the insider crowd the minute shrub started blabbing about privatizing gov't jobs. Low pay and no protection for workers, rain of wealth to the vendor buddies who own the companies and go golfing while the tax money pours in. Check out Haliburton's Brown and Root contracts for a whiff of what's to come. Bureaucracy and civil service, for all their faults, grew as a way of countering these cronyisms in the US in the first place. Only partly successful, but a necessary check on the alternative. No sense of history in this country.

>>Fed gov't increasingly resembles corrupt British gov'ts<< Things sure changed fast with two terms of an Oxford educated Clinton. >>Hopefully the US will not need to descend to levels of Diskens-esque social degeneration before turning back<< Yeh, our media does a great job of not covering anything controversial objectively, in a timely enough manner that we actually have a chance to participate, or God forbid actually be allowed to VOTE on anything that allows us to control OUR system. I'm still not convinced Bush has the same intent, but rather that the liberal camp still has complete control of "the mouthpiece of the government" - the media. Have we seen ONE of the Clinton loving major network talking heads replaced?? It still appears the revolution will not be televised. Doesn't mean it can't happen. They said the stock market wouldn't crash and wasn't a bubble. They have the same empty reasoning behind the real estate bubble. BWDIK. regards, (just following some links back) Tom
