Very interesting quote and comments by J Carlton and Mann.

With the aid and comfort of Nancy, Harry, Hillary, and, of course, the Kenyan in the White House.

Alex, living in Detroit must have effected your mind. Read J Carlton again.

Right now I'd say it's worse than the one than the one Jefferson separated from. And going downhill by the minute.

Things haven't changed all that much in over 2000 years.

I'm with J on this one.

It does seem to inflame the hearts of politicians the world over.

H.L. was very cynical and very correct on government. Government is a necessary evil and I'm not to sure of the necessary part.

Carol is, unfortunately, correct.

J Carlton, I suspect that many kids can't find their state on a map, much less the capitol.

I suspect that most of the recent high school graduates don't even know or care that we have a Constitution. A fair percentage can't read anyway.

From 1926 to now, it hasn't changed much.

Al DC, You stole my comment and ain't it the truth.

Right on target.

At least a pickpocket would have the decency not to con you by saying he was robbing you for your own good.

Lysander hits the nail on the head. As L. Neal Smith said, "Government is a Disease Masquerading as It's own Cure."

J Carlton, right on target.

All past and present tyrants have first disarmed the populace.

This just about says it all.

Change the word "little' to "nothing" and it's more accurate.

What is tis country coming to and will we ever come to. Our wonderful president came to Austin yesterday and put a snow job on some teachers and kids at a local, mainly black grade school. And , of course, blocked traffic for miles while his group drove in from the airport. Wish he would stay in Washington or Kenya where he belongs.

Well said J and Mike.

The liberals running our government have no business doing about 99% of the things they do, but they do them anyway.

And it better be loaded.

L Hanson, do us a favor and stay in Canada. We already have enough nuts like you, many in our government. At least J Carlton balances things out in Canada.
