got your attention? lol

i pose a question! what are the opinions in this forum as to the state of the american 'democracy' *cough socialistleaningrepublic cough*?

i have recently read the rise and fall of the roman empire, and the writings of tacitus, and i am drawn to the conclusion that we have not had a democracy for a long time.

bush '00; (and i HATE to drag old waters) a man becomes president expressly AGAINST the will of the majority, because he won the college.

wtf?

the patriot act, increasing 'dole' programs, outrageous military spending, annexing territories, disappearing middle class, floods of truly well meaning but destabilizing aliens, an epidemic of tort abuse, increasing censorship, and above all this government and corporate fed cloud of FEAR that we are all expected to live under.

to anyone offended by this post, and especially if it has been done to death i ask your pardon.

still i will ask the question; anyone else hear visigoths?
