Interesting
Always amazes, but shouldn't really surprise me how the usual suspects turn their backs on ballots like these, effectively boycotting them because they are too afraid of the facts contained within that are like needles in their closed eyes (to the truth).
"but shouldn't really surprise me how the usual suspects turn their backs on ballots like these"
Thats because it isn't a ballot. There isn't a question.

I'd comment further, but I'm busy selling off my WorldCom stock.
Seriously, this drags me back to an adage that Cathexis and I tossed about a while back, that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

Very frightening how these old men had so much foresight into the future of their country. I found this quote from Eisenhower on... well read it Ken...
"Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together." - Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960

This is so true,we can see how todays America represents something akin to despotism,most of Americas civil liberties have been relinquished thanks to the monstrous myth that is 911,their borders have been sacrificed(watch out for the amero)and its 200 yr old constitution is virtually obsolete .
