Just curious, but would the FBI files the Clintons supposedly had fall under this? What about all the people who spoke up against them or said, yeah "he raped me or "showed me his penis" or "we had an affair" and then they all got audited by the IRS?
He did lie under oath. What's so hard to believe about these ppl misusing power?
Am I personally worried? NO. But, in the big picture it's like anything else with ppl in power. You always have to worry about the evolution of these things.
That's why I think that the more things change the more they stay the same and our Constitution and Bill of Rights is just as important today as it was when it was written.
JR, you may believe that it is different today and that we should look at it in a different context, but I disagree.
And, before I hear about how the Republicans did whatever, too.... this is just an example. I am no fan of any side as they all suck.
And, yes.... it is a great system. There is a self adjusting mechanism that creates balance, but it will not save us forever.
Trying to "save us" by convincing ppl of a certain ideaology is futile and naive. However, ignoring or rationalizing away the dangers of gradual decay is naive as well IMO.
In the end, we are all better served using objective observation and doing what is best to position ourselves and our families to best deal with the realities -- both good and bad.
