Is Democracy at risk: You be the judge!
What does the future hold for the world. An article posted on The Moderate Voice this morning, by William Kern, titled "Head Winds for the Reign of the People" from an column written by Thomas Klau of Germany's Financial Times Deutschland, at the end states the following:
"A Renaissance of Puritanism, a Renaissance of authoritarianism, and perhaps the decoupling of free-market principles from the principles of democracy - these are the messages heard by people today. And to this we must add the weakening of the fundamental values of democratic humanism, such as the ban on torture and arbitrary imprisonment in the United States. The wind has changed and it’s blowing in the wrong direction."
I encourage you to read the entire article at The Moderate Voice to get the full picture.
This is the real damage President Bush, VP Cheney and this Administration has contributed to these past 7 years. While they are mostly responsible for the weakening of democracy under the pretext of spreading it, Corporate CEO's have also played a major role when they adapt hardware and software that minimizes any chance of a free press, freedom of speech and threatens the safety and security of the people using the technology in countries like China, Russia and yes, you guessed it, the United States! Wake up America! Your freedoms are being lost one drip at a time, just like in Nazi Germany with the rise of Hitler. Before you know it, it's gone.

I will answer that question straight up. 26 of the 50 US states have succession petitions before their state legislatures.
That means over half of the US population now feels it is time to move on and divest ourselve of the culture of corruption that is Washington DC. It is unbeieveable that two families the Bushes and the Clintons have brought down an entire country in less the twenty years.
Everyone stood around and just looked at each other and did nothing. The guns should have come out a long time ago, people should have been voted out at the end of a gun.
We have two options; desolve the republic and go our separate ways or call a constitutional convention and bring our government back to a governent by the people for the people.
"Woe be to he that lives in a time of change." Chinese proverb.
Over population gives rise to both changes in sexual mores and the loss of small town agricultural existence and its easy pace and honesty.
It is no wonder that people flock to churches in search for a smallish community of like values. It's a shame of course that once they close the church doors they tend to hate those left outside.
As I heard my son say to a friend when he was 12 years (1986) old, "What the earth needs is more wars or a large pestilence."
Life in large cities has always been faster, more cynical and lacking in one-on-one values of honesty and consideration. Earth now every day more resembles one large city. People do not know where to turn.
Mother Nature will in its own way, as my son implied - oops I think he had been listening to his Dad's rantings - bring the greater elements of this pain and confusion back to homeostasis.
Better that we have gay marriage than we end up atom-izing vast numbers of sentient beings.
ps Charles all good posts here by you. Can't we have a national celebration on January 20 this year to celebrate that the Soviet regime of BushCo is only a year from ending?
