Try reading the Constitution.

The beauty about the US is that "THE PEOPLE" are supposed to be able change the government. Can the people actually change the Government? NO. I want you to try something.

Get together a group of people and start "peacefully" rebelling against the current government. Even though you have the right to peacefully assemble, your right to decide how your government should be run has been taken away. If you try to start a protest against the current US government, in the name of "National Security", you will be labeled a "terrorlst". And you can and will be arrested.

Does this seem like a "just" way for a country to be governed? IIRC, imigrants(pilgrims) came to the "Americas" to escape political and religious persicution. They did not like the way that England/Europe was being ruled. So they left. When they wrote the constitution, they specifically stated that if the people of the United States of America found the Government to be insufficient or unjust, they shall be able to reform the government. This means that the people should be able to get rid of the current government if they see it fit.

No, i didn't constantly herass her, every once in a while the subject of politics would come up and we would debate about things. She even came to one of the democrat meetings at my school to watch me debat them. she came out impressed in my shooting down of the uneducated, and by uneducated i mean democrats, because democrats are uneducated

Sorry to all who were fooled into thinking this is a political debate forum.

You guys and gals need to understand....

There are no friendships made when we're calling each other harsh names, and labeling an entire group as 'uneducated'

this decision to avoid politics and it's pitfalls was made by our admin, after noticing just how personal people can get, and just how nasty the name calling can be, and just how hard it is to erase hurt feelings over such things. Better to rid ourselves of it altogether, to avoid alienating our crew
