Agreed. It's over. The great American experiment has failed.
We are proof that, left to their own devices, the populace will eventually 1) turn elections into an American Idol idiocy; and 2) vote for the government to take care of them from cradle to grave, thus abrogating the responsibilities of citizenship.
Like Americans didn’t abrogate their rights as citizens when they let the gov’t subsidize all the under paid workers so that the Wal-marts and McDonalds didn’t have to? Or when we shipped jobs overseas for a tax credit. Or, I could on and on.
parsy, who gets bill collection calls from guys in Calcutta.
