"What we have that they don't is the US Constitution and that gives us a better chance to return to our roots." I almost left this alone but then ran into Message 28404537 this morning. "Sadly, the constitution and its protections are respected less and less as we have quietly allowed our constitutional republic to devolve into a militarist, corporatist social democracy. Laws are broken, quietly changed and ignored when inconvenient to those in power, while others in positions to check and balance do nothing. The protections the founders put in place are more and more just an illusion." Which brought to mind the immortal words of the great Alfonso Bedoya: youtube.com As long as we have a 'better chance', I guess that's okay. ARS
