In many ways we are back to what the Founding Fathers fought against. We have royalty here in the U.S. We just don't use all the symbolism, the crowns etc. But how long before even the pretense of democracy is gone?

They still must have some fear of rousing up the public to continue with the pretext that the people have any say in anything that goes on.

Does it really matter who is in power, other than one side throws a few crumbs our way now and then? A question I've been asking myself since we gained a majority in 2006 and the goalposts moved, then moved again afer we gave them both Houses of Congress and the WH, and not much happened.

K&R for a great post.
