Alright, I seem to have started something again... Look, I didn't mean to
flame anybody or anything, alright? It's just that it strikes _me_ (and I
repeat, _ME_ -- I have freedom of speech, right?) that the American
constitution is pretty old-fashioned. I don't want to go into the white
house, I don't want to rewrite anybody's constitution, I don't even know
what I'm getting at here, but I do know that I don't really give a shit
about politics or most other things for that matter. All I'm doing is making
observations, comparing things to the situation I'm familiar with, and
making up _MY_ mind as to which things _I_ would or would not want to live
with/under.
I know I'm touching delicate subjects here, and it looks like I could better
have kept my fingers from my keyboard, but it appears to me that "one of the
most powerful countries in the world" can't really manage its own internal
affairs. And this last statement is also bound to get me a whole load of
comments in my mailbox...

What's the problem with that anyway? If you don't want to read what I have
to say, just skip past the messages. Or set up a filter if you really don't
want to see them...
