<< I was thinking about these guys (all men) during the proceedings and got to
wondering about them almost all being from the South / Midwest (except for
the guys from Utah and California) ... what does THIS mean? >>
Does it mean anything? Does it mean that the North already controls
everything since some claim that this is a "takeover" by the South. I don't
think so... if Clinton is removed from office then Gore will takeover (another
liberal from the South). What is wrong with having conservatives have a voice
in government, liberals (socialists) have had control since WWII. In this
period of time we have seen welfare grow, we now have very limited freedom
because of limits put on us by thousands, maybe millions of laws. We have
seen an imaginary "War on Drugs" that sucks up more money than anyone could
have imagined when they passed the antidrug laws. We can have our property
confiscated without due process of law, and if we are not guilty... we have to
hire a lawyer at great personal expense to get that property back. We have
also seen the size of government as well as the cost of taxes to support that
government grow in greater proportion than the growth in population. We have
also seen the large corporations pay a very disproportionately lower amount of
taxes than the working person or the small businesses. We have seen the term
"Democracy" being used to define our government when we were supposed to be a
Republic with a limited Democracy (election of the House of Representatives).
It all gets a little crazy when an owl has more rights than a man (many
thousands of men as far as that goes). Right is still right and wrong is
still wrong, but government has twisted the definitions through repetition and
subtle forms of mind control. There surely is something wrong when I have to
pay in the high five figures to get a college education, but a criminal can
get a college degree for free in prison, or a woman who has a baby out of
wedlock can get a two year degree and welfare for two years for free... why am
I being punished for being responsible, for being straight? It gets hard to
determine what is conservative and liberal.

"In 1931, when Brave New World was being written, I was convinced that
there was still plenty of time. The completely organized society, the
scientific caste system, the abolition of free will by methodical
conditioning, the servitude made acceptable by regular doses of
chemically induced happiness, the orthodoxies drummed in by nightly
courses of sleep-teaching - these things were coming all right, but not
in my time, not even in the time of my grandchildren....Twenty-seven
years later,...I feel a good deal less optimistic... In the
West,...individual men and women still enjoy a large measure of freedom.
But...this freedom and even the desire for this freedom seem to be on the
wane."
