So you're advocating a return to the late 19th century?

When people speak of America's greatness, you feel that's the time period they're referring to? Before highways and literacy and social security and the expansion of the middle class? When union negotiation consisted of Andrew Carnegie hiring a private army to shoot the malcontents? An America that Charles Dickens would have recognized? That's you're idea of America?

We have way different ideas.

"I agree with Ron Paul on this, but I don't think it realistic to believe we are going to return to the original intent of the constitution regarding the separation of powers between the federal and state governments."

That would depend on you in part, now wouldn't it?

And the total sum of people like you.

The idea is, numbers run things, people run things, people STOP what they don't allow. If apathy and disbelief dry up, things get done.

They don't and well,... you get blown around like a leaf in a windstorm of political instability.

Which are you? The leaf?

Or an American who WILL see his will be done?

Of course that is, if you believe in democracy...

If you think it impossible, you just helped make it so.

Thanks. But not really.

This country is founded on "We, the people".

OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people.

Don't forget that or you do us ALL a great injustice..
