11. I can relate

I consider it the foundation of the crap we're in today.

Al Gore would have us well into saving the planet and doing it by creating jobs right now. We would be in the second fastest economic growth in our history right now.

And it was the Supreme Court selection that was the demise of our Constitutional Democracy. I knew it then and nothing has changed my mind. Today's situation is directly connected to the day the Supreme Court killed the Constitution. Everything since has been a direct result and I knew it at the time. My heartbreak is that what I knew then was a fact.
