We had a good system, but it depends on having Christian values such as honesty, integrity, and concern for others. It also depends on a free press telling the truth. That was something that was already lacking even in the 60s.

Only 3 channels to get all of the current news- and regretfully they still exist. The whitewash by the Warren Commission and finding out that the CIA didn’t have one lick of oversight helped me see that our system of checks and balances had already been subverted.
The gov’t kept getting worse (I don’t think all individuals participated willingly)and when Bush senior ran for President I would not, could not vote for him.
A past director of the CIA has to many skeletons to not be crooked.(Even if he got warped while on the job - which I no longer believe in Bushes case.)
INDEED.
