I feel like you do Chris. I share all of your anger and sadness. But now is most certainly not the time to revel in our troubles. We must fight, and that means vote.
The constitution is a two way street.
If the government is corrupt, it is our responsibility, by law. Since the only way a government can come to power or be thrown out legally, is by voting.
A revolt that was not first proceeded by the legal steps provided by the constitution; like a series of votes, followed by law suits, followed by the just or unjust judgment of the courts, and then the supreme court, would its self be immoral and illegal
Any attempt to do something outside of the legal frame work provided by the constitution, would fail. And that frame work begins and ends with voting. No action can be considered valid without first voting. And the thing about it is, if we would all just vote for the republic rather than our selves, than no further action would ever be necessary.
Every bad thing the government has done to us, we really did to our selves. Cant escape that fact.
As for syria. I think they need help. And its within our power to help. But Saddam killed way more iraqis than we did, and yet the only numbers counted are those that hurt America. If we go to help we will get pissed on for it. Besides, who the hell would we be helping? I cant tell, can you?
