Ray > A warning that the evangelicals in America really don't give a damn whether democracy survives at all. And by the time one reads about the incipient US "dictatorship" in Pravda, the threat has to be pretty bad already. english.pravda.ru >>With the increased concentration of media ownership, Americans are perhaps the most ill informed people on earth, and, as the rush to invade Iraq illustrates, much more susceptible to government or media lies. Although there are alternative media sources, Americans are often too harried, too tired, or too apathetic to pursue them unless they are available at the touch of a remote control or delivered to one"s mailbox or doorstep. James Madison said two centuries ago, "We are free today substantially, but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. A Republic cannot stand upon bayonets, and when the day comes, when the wealth of the nation will be in the hands of a few, then we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nation to the changed conditions." Perhaps that day has arrived.<<
