And the power for change is in the ballot box, not on the streets. It means that when you have disagreements with those in power at a given time -- you keep it in the family and don't parade it onto the world stage for all to see.

I don't think America can live on its past glory (such as it really was, when you get under the surface). I think it is easy to hype American history when many aspects of it were not all that positive. All the conservatives and Bush supporters who believe as you do seem to be just really complacent and willing to accept without challenge whatever the administration is saying at the moment. I don't see how you are inclined to believe how bad it has gotten, and how anything will change for the better if most people just go along with what is happening. I think huge protest marches and impeachment drives are more effective myself (having participated in the Vietnam war protest movement). I think "Mr. Chips" might have had an attachment disorder, which could have been caused by being taken from his mother and siblings too early, or from being given up by an early owner before you got him. Dogs with attachment disorders have been hurt and disappointed by the people in their lives, so they learn to be quite independent and guarded in making attachments (to protect themselves from this happening again). They can be perfectly pleasant, but will be perfectly pleasant with anyone who is reasonably kind to them, not loyal to their owners.
