And I agree. I also agree with Solzhenitsyn. Specific laws and specific judges have, however, earned our contempt. We should not hesitate to show it. If hypocrisy and dishonesty are allowed to stand as law, the very revolution so feared by Keyes will become inevitable. I didn't at all miss his message, you see. But it is now not enough to "tolerate" the continuing erosion of our moral capital -- tolerance in truth being ennui or sloth or calculation. JimRob thinks (and I am interpreting here) that we can overcome by voting straight Republican, then weeding the miscreants. He may be right -- it may be the one effective nonviolent course of action, and I do not advocate violence. But the politicians have gamed the system to the point that votes are massively being bought and public service is a contradiction in terms. Means have been sacrificed to ends. If the takers can outvote the contributors, what then for the republic?
