Since I did not allow replies to my poll, it fell off of the first page pretty quickly. To this point, the results are not surprising. They are reflective of what we are seeing from the legitimate polling organizations.

If you haven't voted, please do so.

quoting the men that were considered rablerausers and traitors to their governments during their day allways cracks me up.

The reason I quoted from Adams was not for any particular liking of him. I quoted from him because what he said was true. Sure, these founding fathers were not perfect - they were even slave owners! But I think we need to glean out what is true, and in his statement, there is a kernel of truth. What he was saying is that none of this stuff of representative democracy would matter a hill of beans if the people it is designed to protect did themsleves become corrupt. And that is what has happened to our society. Will we get out of it? I don't know. I am hopeful, being that this country managed to overcome the evil of slavery. Did you know it was the Supreme Court that declared that blacks were not "persons"? And, yet again, we find ourselves in the same place, where the Court has declared innocent life that is not wanted or convenient not worthy of the title "person", and not worthy of the protection of law. To be fair, I cannot put this blame on the people on whole as being corrupt, because it was the action of a rogue court that did that in 1973. But a lot people have grown into or accepted that horrible law over time. In the case of slavery, it was just the opposite: The country started with slavery well ingrained, and the Court was simply upholding the status-quo. But either way, Adam's words hold true.
