Just so I understand. You basically hate the political parties, both of them. You believe our government conspired to cause 9/11. Bush could do no right; Obama can do no right. No, I don't "hate" both political parties. I do hate their actions, which, for the most part, have become completely corrupted. Bush and Obama are the end results of decades of corporate corruption. call it what you will, but greed has taken over the US gov't. Maybe 2% of politicians have an moral character. So, why the hell do you think GOVERNMENT can regulate ANYONE? Why do you want to give MORE POWER to these untrustworthy incompetents? I don't want to give more power to gov't in it's present state because the gov't is so corrupted that it will simply misuse any more power. Considering the President has claimed the power to murder anyone at anytime for any reason, detain anyone w/o bail indefinitely at any time for any reason, I'm not sure how much power is left to be given to the gov't. Certainly the court system is not going to give any justice to anyone, except in the rare case. I do believe the US is past the point of no return in its present form. What the future holds is bad, bad, bad. We are now in a nascent police state controlled by kleptocrats without any conscience. The moral decay in the US is past the point of no return....like a gangreneous limb. The US will either die or face revolution. I think the police state route we're on has a lot further to run before we destroy ourselves. The Soviet Union lasted 70 years before it collapsed. I'm trying to find at least one argument you make that makes any sense, and I just don't see it. You still have some sort of faith in the current political system(just like the Dems that voted in Obama with his "Hope" lie).
