With what is out there now already on the books it is a sad day to see what I served in the service to protect being sold to the highest bidder. That is hardly freedom nor is the results supportive of those freedoms. One reader and commentor here calls the US the PSA (Police States of America) and I suspect he is closer to the mark than most of us know. I have never been much of a conspiracy nut but more and more I wonder if I might not be wrong. Any time you get the lawmakers highroading through bill after bill without proper discussion prior to voting there is something that can't stand the light of day in it or the process would be different. It seems to be the method of voting new legislation into law now as a rule rather than the occasional. No wonder the republic party had such a long dry spell without being the lead party. Understand I don't like either of the parties in this system. The names are different but they have some common themes between them. Both have done their best to imply without actually stating that if you vote for an independent candidate you are throwing your vote away. Only thing is if you don't vote for an independent because you believe in that particlar candidate then you have truly thrown it away, as there will never be any sort of change. Our lawmakers are so busy playing politics that they can't think of what is good for the country. Instead they ham it up for the camera and play backroom deals out of the view of the camera. I am not to sure that the camera did us citizens any favors. At any rate it appears that our legal system is for sale to the highest bidder and bidding is active. The price is high enough that Joe Citizen can not particpate in the influence. I look on my country with sad eyes seeing what I knew and grew to love go down the tubes. This isn't the same as what I grew to expect and love. There is little love remaining for what exists today. You are either part of the system or you are out. Looks like I am out.

I wish US lawmakers would remember that their job is to represent the people first, and stop giving big biz all the breaks and the bucks. Thank you EU Parliament!
