This government is supported by mindless lemmings.

We've already seen how things done under the Bush administration with "good intentions" and at a scale that was generally tolerable are being seized and abused by the current administration. The good thing about our form of government is that we're only really stuck with it until the next election. The bad thing is, when it's relatively good we still only have it until the next election.<br /><br />For all that I believe the interrogations were carried out in good faith and for the right reasons, it only takes a few bad or even just negligent people in positions of power to change that.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
