In reply to the discussion: What is wrong with the American people? [View all]Voltaire2

Its not at all clear to me that most Americans have any idea any longer that a constitutional government is meant to be something different than a massive firm, that it guarantees rights and prescribes certain duties. It doesnt seem to me that they know that the goal of the United States government is something other than efficiency or that they view whats currently happening as the destruction of their freedom as embodied in the State, rather than some interesting corporate reorganization that may yet yield better results. They may not wake up until suddenly they get the message: Youre fired.
