I have the answer, but nobody seems to take it seriously. We just need to change the way we run for office and vote, so you don't have to be a multimillionair or billionair to have a shot of winning office. Abolish campain contributions.

The bottom line is--- what we have had a very very small segment of the population running this country, and a small segment of the population can not possibly represent the rest of the 95% very well. They are not from here--they don't know our challenges. Most of the rich elected officials simply don't care about us and our freedoms----at all. We need to be able to select people from the entire population, not just the top 5%.

first, thank you for your kind words and thoughts - i made it through the first stage of the kidney stone ordeal (fyi - UCLA medical center / hospital is fantastic)

i underwent another sleep study and the results were not good - i will likely not only switch from a cpap unit to a bpap unit and add an oxygen feed for when i sleep

now to business

that bill regarding dissent is just too scary - i posted a reply linking our mercenary groups like blackwater and a possible praetorian guard

it makes me wonder if bushco is at work on a coup

i would hope that our military and citizens would take up arms if they tried it

Sorry to hear about the complications in your recovery. Its good to hear from you though. Sounds like you are in very good hands though.

Heres hoping you get well and get your butt home for christmas.

Keep us up on your progress.

BTW Bush can try a coup but I think this country would explode in his face at this point. Hell his attempt might even be good for this countrys spirit.

thank you again for your kind thoughts

as for a potential coup, you may be correct that it would be good for the nation except that butthead controls nuclear weapons

on another tentacle, a nuclear war would be an answer to global warming...ever hear of nuclear winter
