    Justice

    The election results attest to the moral revulsion of many American toward Bush and the many that he choose who failed to to honor the Constitution of our government. They have been judged on the level of decency, integrity, and character and judged to be catastrophically corrupt. But that is not enough. The foundation of a society is integrity and when its leader lie, hide crimes, and misuse their powers to subvert the general welfare they must be held accountable. The future well being of its citizens will be destroyed unless the social justice that our hearts demand are confirmed by the responsible acts of those who have been granted the power to do so.
