Sir;...A sad day for America??? What??? Are the Buchanans breeding more Vandals??? Mired in Mud??? Patrick; one mick to another: If your prosey got any more purple it could pass for black crepe at a mob funeral...Tell the truth Pat...The only thing our government can do without fail is corrupt people... Do you think Mr. Obama is not corrupt??? Do you think Pat Buchanan is not corrupt???Any one who buys into this garbage and tries to save the system, of politics, of economics, is corrupt from their heads to their souls.... There is no cure for people like that, for people like you.... I don't like it...it is not fair to the people we send into government, and it is not smart for us, and it is real disaster for this country... We need democracy... It is not that a whole people cannot be corrupt, but the needs of children, and the thought of future generations does require some rationality... When we send people to great power, to be surrounded with money, and expect they will hold out for our interests we are dreaming...We should hold out for our own interest....Let them talk, but tell them talk means nothing without consent, and then you have democracy...Then you make sure that everyone has a reason to go along with government...Everyone should get greased.... If you have an interest, you should see some benefit, and if you have have no interest, then what are you looking for??? Plato says Socrates thought Justice was each person minding his own business, and he rejected the idea of justice as giving each their due... Perhaps both are true... We should all mind our business, and we should all give and get our due... Having representatives with great power serving so many masters that they cannot serve all well is an invitation to corruption... Let us cut out the middle men... If we will be corrupted let the money go into our pockets.... But let us be honest... If we all had charge of our own affairs, and only had a vote over issues concerning us, then corruption would be a thing of the past, and government could protect the people... It is power over people who you do not know, and whose interests you do not share that causes corruption, and is corruption...The power to dictate to a people as to who would represent them, which was the power to deny their power -is corrupting before any money is mentioned... The power tends to corrupt, and the money equates to power...Should anyone believe money does not turn your head to the right and to the wrong??? I believe you are as bad as the worst of them...Thanks...Sweeney

Wake up, Byuke. You're dreaming again. Your fantasies are robbing you of what little crumbs remain of your credibility.
