6.  yes I can understand how you feel but do recall this
Even in 1770's many people wanted a King and some of the people left the country and I am sure most of the 'King lovers' stayed and have been breeding the belief of autocrats are a good way to run a govt. ever since. They seem to have missed the whole point of 'We the people' form of govt. It was a new plan and who knew if we could do it? It is also easy to let some one else do it all. What get me is when you have this autocrat form of govt. it always seems to become more police like as the head guy always seems to have to have more tightly held power to keep his power. Church, state or what ever it always seems to work that way. The belief the 'ruler' holds seems to get narrow as he sees any out-step from any one pressing in to his right to power. It is why I see Bush as even more scary as he starts losing the power. That is all said badly and I am sorry. Hope you get what I mean. It does seem something is missing in how our own history is taught in school if people seem to understand our form of govt. so badly.
