Many years ago, my dad talked about there only being one party in the USA, the party of big business. It had two names, Democratic and Republican, but that those two names simply represented two different groups of businessmen. I didn't understand what he meant til relatively recently, but how true it is.
Neither of these parties represent the people. If they did, the richest country in the world would look after their poorest members. It would not just call itself civilized, it would be. The only measure of humanity that is of value is how we treat our neighbours, and those less fortunate than ouselves. The US still has a long way to go to become a civil democracy.
Unless Bush is impeached, the rule of law is dead. Welcome to the era of monarchic dictatorship. You remain free at the will of the Leader, for now. Pelosi is a disgrace, and will be remembered as the Neville Chamberlain of the 21st Century. Great legacy Nancy!
