Probably just me, but I don't see everything I've worked for being trampled on, given away, taken over, or flushed down the toilet.
I admit I spend many days of the year outdoors where the toilet doesn't flush, so I may not value that as much.
How has life gone to *ell over the last 20 or 30 or 50 or, per Ron Paul, 200 years in America?
That's not to gloss over the problems of big government, but you need some perspective.
Even after 8 years of Clinton this was the best nation on earth, and America, since it's composed of AMERICANS, could survive another eight.
I admire your faith.
