(-; I like it a lot ! ! ! ;-) One problem with Amerika's current system is their promotion of their divine position (must be heard, taken seriously and obeyed). The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land's theocratic seminaries (government schools - nearly begins indoctrination from the cradle) promotes their religious dogma - to be taken seriously; the statist theocracy's forth branch of government, the evengelical propagators (the MSM) spews the religions dogma so as to be taken seriously - deceiving the very elect; police state enforcement threats with death to non-listners; etc. -- Mike, Norwalk 2

The voice of the vast conventional populous is the voice of mental disorder and I take the sound quite seriously. The answer, however, will take time. The cure is available and will in time be administered as the patient admits their condition. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
