How do you expect to live up to Ben Franklin's reply to the question put to him following the first Constitutional Convention if you have already given up? Go read Travis McGee's essay Gangster Government, and Sakharov's Immunity and get inspired.

Unfortunately, it is happening here. This story demonstrates it.

I believe Hitler carried quite a slice of the Jewish vote in 1933. Course they were smart enough to stop voting for him when they saw where Germany was going.

Those Jews back then were a lot smarter than most Americans are today....
