Here's the worry (deserved or not) - people elect fascists. The beauty about America is that we have a system to prevent unlimited power. My biggest problem with this administration is that it's slowly dismantling that system. For example, we just learned that Bush has unilaterally added disclaimers to over 750 laws that he's signed that says he can ignore the law if he wants. Of course then there's the torture thing, wiretapping, etc, etc. It's clear this President despises checks on his power and is actively taking steps to eliminate them. History has seen this behaviour before and it's resulted in dictators. That likely won't happen here, but Bush has decided to travel down that same road. I'm looking forward to a recession of presidential power. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:208282 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
