Another good one T.L. To your idea that "we might be witnessing the absolute collapse of one hundred years of communist expansion" - one can hope so. Hope is not a plan, though. I'd like to believe that all this will keep opening more and more eyes. It's difficult (for me, anyway) to see that it's taken so blasted long for other folk to wake up. I've been preaching this stuff for the last 40 years!! And I STILL get pooh poohed as being *out there*. I DO like saying I told ya so to so many blind folk - at this point, I don't care if I make 'em mad. I'd like to see our ship get back on the right course before I croak - preferably a long time away!

Y'all take care,

Mike.

What we call corruption is just individuals pursuing their own self interest. There are degrees of corruption, and degrees of tolerance to corruption, because we're all wired a little differently. We criticize or punish corruption when the pursuit of self interest damages the interests of others. Conflict arises when different people have fundamentally opposed interests. Many dems believe FBI corruption is acceptable, even admirable, when it supports their interests. Harm to their opponents is not only acceptable, but desired. Its the nature of war.

Dems have been engaging in war since Bush 2, and pubs have naively tolerated it. Our current situation is entirely due to that complacency. We have exactly two choices -- either we engage, and fight to win, or we learn to accept the inevitable tyranny of unopposed power.
