Beardedbruse: I can't see anyone getting too upset by the articles, tell ya the truth. I think the two-party system in the USA has allowed serious abuses of power--by Bush, by Clinton, by Reagan, et.al. The problem seems no longer to be WHO is in power; the problem seems to be distinguishing the parties from each other. It's like ya can't tell the difference without a script. I can't, anyway.

Please recall that while I really dislike Bush, I really disliked Clinton, too. So, the state of American politics now is bad. It's bad not due to the Bushes and Clintons, but due to the system that consistently forces folks to choose the lesser of evils. Democracy is in decline. The Caligula-state of Rome. Things jus' don't look so good right now.

I wish y'all luck getting trash OUT of Congress and OUT of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The rest of the world has the same hope, IMO.
