Are these the first public opening shots to soften us up
for a military takeover of democracy? Sounds like it to me.

Read it and make of it what you will...

Although I hope that such a thing is impossible, I think the
General made some pretty damn good points. He's definately
right about peace not being a lasting part of human history.
We'll just have to wait and see I guess. All this shit is
pretty scary in my opinion.

I don't like the way the world is today, or where it is
heading.

WTF!? The END of Democracy? Ill let you in on a little
secret, Americans especially live in a shroud of lies. There
was hardly ever a true democracy, whatever governments we
have now are defenitly not, or never were a democracy. to
believe that is to be assimilated like the rest,

when will all these old dinosaurs die and let new blood into
any office..... anywhere.... this is ridiculous, the world
is shit.

I'm aware of that, it's just that I couldn't a more accurate
description in the title bar.

Peloton: thats cool, i wasnt name callin' heh.

Zephyr Twin: well..... its very true, the fact that middle
american and others suck down and gobble the news, the crap,
the lies that they feed them, they willingly take it and
think its all true, its all OK, is all backed by the
government.

The American government is a cancer of the world and NEEDS
to be destroyed, removed or replaced, neither of these will
happen most likely, because of the people that let these
politicians stay in power. its sick.

I think people have to appreciate that there are multiple
forms of democracy surrounding us. People get pissed and
then suddenly claim there isn't any democracy because they
can't get their way over Iraq. That is just such bull.
Democracy in its current state is pretty explicit, you vote
for those who you believe best serve your views and take on
things. Going further down the ladder at the local level
there is plenty of Democracy, descision making and
influencing that people can get involved in. Democracy and
the bureacracy that is an intrinsic part of that surrounds
us constantly. If people choose to ignore that then that is
their chose. Yes I think we can all agree that for there to
be ultimate democracy then everyone would be allowed to vote
on every single minor issue. However ultimately people
wouldn't have the time nor the inclination to keep up. It
may well be that in the future electronic voting forms some
part of that. However what we're really getting down to is
the question not of democracy but of freedom of thought and
that can never be a truism as we're always influenced by
others in our views.

i agree that democracy is pretty awsome. but one major flaw
with it is, that usually the majority rules in a democracy,
but the majority of people do not know what is best for them
or are easily misled. it's kind of a catch-22.

but a totally awsome catch-22.

did i mention that america is totally awsome? yes... yes i
believe i did.

i do like where the world is heading... because it's heading
toward conflict of the system... the number of popular
goverments is growing (like lula in brasil)

the world is heading towards direct conflict with power and
the people.. and things will change... hopefully a good
change

that goes without saying though.

remember that newsmax.com is notoriously right-wing and is
like the internet's own fox news
