I think that everyones still missing the point I was trying to make. You all have good intentions...get the bad ones out, get good ones in, etc etc ... but.. HOW do you know that the ones you put in will be any different...and if they are bad...HOW do you get rid of them quickly... SEE???...THAT'S the problem in a nutshell... once they are in power it's almost impossible to get them out of power... How do we change the laws...the very Constitution itself if need be, to make those that are supposed to be serving us actually do so?
Our founders made a critical mistake....they put term limits in to force people to actually serve the length of the term they were elected to. See...we were a farming society back then, and a farmer away from his farm and crops for too long was bad for his farm...so they would leave after a year or so... so term limits were put in to force them to serve longer... no one ever thought that people would actually want to make a career out of it... But now, those same term limits are preventing us ....we, the people...from getting rid of the crooks and bad politicians effectively. THAT is the problem...HOW do we get rid of them before they do damage to us??? Waiting around for 4 or 6 years simply is NOT acceptable... They can change a lot of laws in 6 years... just look at where we are now if you doubt me. As I see it, we are at the brink of a revolution. Maybe not a bloody war, but rather a shift where the people become slaves to the dictators... and remember...they have the big guns and technology where they can force us to do what they want. It's actually happening right now...slowly, quietly but happening never the less..We now have a government that is forcing us to get health insurance, whether we want it or not, We are now forced to wear seat belts, helmets for motercycles and bikes, use less sugar in our diets, smoke outside or not smoke at all, use less trans fats, ethanol in our gas, permits if we want to build a house or make a change to them, less salt, less this, less that, etc etc etc...and those are just some of the obvious changes where we are being forced to do things that we never had to do before... they are using our fears as weapons against us... it's all in the name of "safety" or "ecology" or whatever they care to call it, but the result is the same... We're losing our freedoms at an alarming rate. And each of our generations, since they only see what is, not what used to be, doesn't realize that they lost this or that ability ... so they just accept it as normal... We are becoming more and more dependant on government for everything...and slowly, quietly, we are losing our freedoms..That's what I meant when I said wake up!!! Don't you see?
