“Remember, democracy never lasts long,” said Adams. “It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

Added Jefferson, “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49.” Madison agreed: “Democracy is the most vile form of government.”

Travis, we’re good for another 40-50 years before we go the way of the British Empire. We could pay our DEBT back double if we wanted too. Not. Those with the BIG GUNS make the rules (world). The good news is we won’t be here in 40-50 years. Well at least me anyways...

Aren’t you glad we are a Republic ?

None of this is cheering me up one bit... booze in the hands of a drunk and debt in the hands of politicians...same result. To Washington, debt is free money and they never seem to understand that all of this stimulus money and public spending has to be paid back. Or... they know damn well it needs to be paid back and they are amassing it anyway to kill off our republic. WE MUST DISMANTLE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND RETURN POWER TO THE INDIVIDUAL STATES AND THE PEOPLE...
