the Bush admin has managed to make Democracy one of the great evils of our time, by abusing it frantically in ways previously inconveivable... and the damage that has caused will be irreversable for generations to come
not only because it is now virtually impossible to assume that a vote is a fair and honest one, but also in that the entire world looks on knowing that those responsible have absoutely gotten away with it, and will continue to do so
the Constitution which was agreed on and written to guarantee the rights of every individual American citizen both in terms of personal security and accountabilty has abjectly and resolutely failed, because when it came to the biggest test of all - the People standing up to the Whitehouse for crimes against that Constitution - no-one even tried.
the British have done pretty much the same thing with Blair, and that should be ringing every alarm bell in the Western hemisphere.
We, The People, are fucked. and we have no-one to blame but ourselves.
