What we need afre people to keep themselves and each other infomred through forums such as this.
They can buy the rats, but the can't buy our votes, and we can kick the rats out.
That's how it's supposed to work.I don't think we need to "rejoin the league of modern democracies."
We were the first Republic in nearly 2000 years, and there's still no nation who match the US in openess and civil rights.
We need to keep it that way, however, and we are under siege from inside.KP
