More and more it appears to me you like a dictatorship.
There still is a few countries that offer that for you if thats what you want. But this is America and no matter how hard people like you try you will not change us.

Well Dave that was an interesting response to your post. I do believe it just admitted to being 'panicked and paranoid', good work.

It's widely documented that the Koch Brothers rank at around 58 on the list of donors. Out numbered by at least 10 Unions.
This thread should be posted in Conspiracy Theories!!!

I thought the evil "boogieman" who secretly runs the world was Soros?
And, if the unions are still so friggin' big, bad, scary and powerful why are their numbers dwindling so badly?

Nope. He's advocating a parliamentary system, it seems to me. I'm beginning to think we'd be better off with one, though it'll never happen.

Well I am not quite sure how you read all that crap into my post, perhaps a remedial reading class would help.
Athough your own Benjamin Franklin did suggest once that a despotic government might occur when Americans had become so corrupt as to require such, I think I have his words around here somewhere, ah yes here it is;
"I these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if there are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other."
Benjamin Franklin Philadelphia 1787
I realize that your experience with the world is rather limited but there are many, many different forms of government between what you have here and a dictatorship should you care to investigate. As for attempting to change you I had only hoped to educate you a little but that task makes the Augean Stables look like a Sunday School picnic.
Have a nice day.

Limited is a apt description Merrylander.
Some people know they are not smart, but at least they realize it.
Some of are dumb but do not realize it...those are the ones you have to watch out for, say when they are running for President.

Ughh, I had to unblock -5 temporarily to see it.
Fist bump and a high five Dave. Well done my friend.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program...
and -5 is back on my eff off list.
Good luck finding anyone to pay your fifty bucks for a Fleetwood Mac Rumours album that regularly sells for $35 on eBay, overpaid at Amoeba didja, or are you just trying to take advantage of trusting AudioKarma members?

I sure am glad you have Tar Baby on your ignore list. Now you won't have any reason to deal with him at all.
