He 'pete, I admit that I try to keep a sunny disposition but it the realist in me which inspired that last sentence: If they take no action, by their silence they acquiesce and become renegades themselves. I posted to Travis last week that the term "representative republic" no longer describes America. We have become a "popular aristocracy", or perhaps an "administrative dictatorship" and the constitution merely an impediment to be overcome in the pursuit of agendas unsanctioned by that document.

Best regards to you, pete.

A VERY good observation,and I think we are actually both. One hand is washing the other.

and the constitution merely an impediment to be overcome in the pursuit of agendas unsanctioned by that document.

Don't worry about that little detail. Bubba Bush is going to take care of that,most rickety-tick! After all,he is a "compasionate conservative". Best regards to you, pete.

Thanks,and right back atcha.
