I agree man. I think in addition to new ideas in foreign policy we need new ideas domestically. We need to roll back the intelligence apparatus that's been built up, and we need to get most of the intelligence community out of working internally. We need to end the war on drugs. We need to clean up our criminal courts and prosecutions badly.
Check out this report on wrongful convictions, scroll past the first page of nonsense: http://www.independent.org/pdf/tir/tir_07_4_roberts.pdf Simply put, we cannot support the size and scope of the operations of our government, nor should we. The safety net policies, corporate welfare, the military industry, it's out of control. The number of laws on the books in insane too. It's just a damned shame that most of the constituents can't see beyond their own nose, beyond their immediate needs. They continue to give us the same power seeking pandering fools.
