Regardless of whose philosophy one subscribes to, its quite apparent that what the Founding Fathers hadn't, or possibly had envisioned has somehow come to pass. Their ideas and application with the checks and balances system was to keep corruption out of our government to where it doesn't corrupt the whole system. They believed that not every aspect could or would be corrupted.

They failed in believing that the leaders who came after would uphold their ideals, especially the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. They also failed in that those who came after allowed the halls of congress, the courts, and the executive branches to be impregnated with liars, thieves, common criminals, and the most inhuman personages history has brought upon this country.

If I can't be free to make my own choices in life as to my life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, especially where it comes to what I ingest considering all the chemicals I'm forced to ingest daily that are put in foods without proper inspection, then I absolutely live with an illusion of freedom.

The government provides no security of, or for, the general welfare, usurps individual rights as to health choices and the right to have an income and make a living, creates criminals of those who are innocent, and allows the truly guilty to walk free among us all.

To these people I say, fuck you, you are the lowest beings on the face of the planet, and I wonder how you can stand to look at yourselves in the mirror. :twocents: imp:
