>>>It's human nature.>>>>
True, I suppose the really amazing part is that the United States of America ever actually came into being, not the fact that we have steadily evolved toward dictatorship. I still doubt that any TRULY free nation has ever existed but in concept only and possibly not even in concept.
I think that we must thank the continued British threat for the evolution of the United States from a collection of 13 small nations under a very ineffective and loose confederacy to 13 states under a semi loose Federation.
