    Why would we give our power back to the government? Screw that.

    I was going to write something but then realized he has me on ignore.

    If someone wants to hold his hand through Montisqeu, Madison, and the difference between 2 and 6 years I'd be much obliged

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The Senate was never intended to represent the people, it's supposed to represent the states. The 17th has been key in centralizing power in the federal government.

    I agree on the fact that Dick Lugar was a damn fine senator!! I also agree with Drone on the repeal of the 17th amendment. The biggest stumbling block would be whether a man could buy his way to the senate, but, isn't that what happens now?
