Our complacency made it possible for them to steal the Presidency.
Their ruthlessness made it possible to set in motion the events that have dragged us further and further away from the country we thought we were.Only an event ,a Reverse 9/11, so to speak, can convince the people, that our nation has succumbed to a group of purposeful thugs.

1. it's our complacency that makes everything possible
If every person who was now complaining about a stolen election had volunteered a few hours for the Kerry campaign, Bush wouldn't be president today.

3. I'm not sure about that.
When the election is rigged (and there is compelling evidence on that score) it doesn't make a lot of difference. My friends and I volunteered to the max. I agree we maybe needed to do more, but I am convinced that if things were done right by Mr. Blackwell, etal. we would have taken Ohio & then you would be living with a Kerry administration.

2. It is each citizen's D U T Y to study 9-11 and all the vote thefts.
It is each citizen's D U T Y to learn what the nuclear options IS/WAS all about and what the media blackout is all about starting with their affiliations, purposes, and the history of their having been taken over.

4. The Best Lack All Conviction
and the worst are full of passionate intensity. Although it was probably worse in Yeats's day.

5. Do we instinctively feel that all our claims to being a unique nation are
fake and did not feel we needed to get upset about 2000.If the thing is not worth fighting for, why make a fuss?
