In response to REMEMBER posted by _Boanerges_:
.
Your comments open a discussion that deserves another thread.
.
It points up my repeated comments that there is a strong force seeking to revisit the debates and arguments of the 1780s in order to reassess what it means to have a Bill of Rights in our society.
.
But, it also puts an end to learning about the nature of the debates and arguments that took place in those founding days of the society in which we live. And, THAT is part of the danger with which we exist--that we forget our history.
.
I know that history has a negative connotation to some of us and THAT, again, is problematic. Unless we are well founded in understanding our past, we are adrift at sea and at the whims of those who hold control of our government.
.
WHAT!!
.
Is this "takeover" you believe is a done deal going to have a soldier assigned to ever single one of us to make sure none of us gets out of line? Do you honestly believe the "conservatives" are going to sit by once they see what you're predicting has come into fruition? Do you actually believe the military will go against the people of the United States? That is when you would actually see a true failure of government and there would be anarchy. Other powerful forces such as those in China would step up to the plate in a minute. All hell would break loose.
.
So, maybe you're saying that Bush heads up a nihilistic force? Some theorists do claim that nihilism is necessary to save the planet--it would decimate the world's population down to small enclaves scattered here and there on the planet.
