Anyway, with types of replies such as yours, we are a doomed nation.

You are giving far too much credit......Pardek deserves the greater share.

You should be totally proud of yourselves. You have ruined a topic that I thought would generate some good, honest discussion. Pat yourself on the back, for you deserve it.

You put a lot of thought into your post.
However, most vanity rants get such treatment.
At least your sister has not been bitten by a moose.

My guess is that the Founders were aware of the dumby factor and tried to hedge against a country's usurpation by dumbies. But ours should be a lesson learned: there is no fool-proof way to make the world safe from the erruption of stupidity.

So I'll take a stab at answering your question. We have become so because we are prone to American optimism: with a little bit of tinkering we can make it work.

Hey it was a great post. But you have to know that Free Republic can act like a pack of jackals when you make a mistake (I had to spell check "jackal"). It's part of the charm of this place.

No, you're wrong. That would be "doomed".
