Alrighty then. You guys can sit around in your group-think and continue to pine over the "never going to fucking happen" wet dream of putting Cheney in jail. Rather than responding to my second post (#7), it gets completely ignored in the group-think. In order to engage in the thread, we must accept the "fact" that everything this guy says is absolutely true, since he doesn't like Bush and we don't like Bush.

To your post:

When you push every power up to groups (government), it is inevitable that
a) Like-minded groups will form because those in the groups choose membership (cronyism)
b) The groups will use that power to do what they want rather than it's original intent.
c) (OMG!!!) They will cover for one another when necessary or they will create systems to avoid responsibility and maintain their power.

The only solution is to not give them the power in the first place. Or we could go your route and believe that we are just one more oversight committee away from utopia.

You can have your thread back. No doubt, it will somehow get tied to a failed 18th century uprising of a French farmer, or some shit. Of course, that will be relevant to the thread, rather than discussing how principles in belief systems fashion the government which fails them.

P.S. I've never read a word of Ayn Rand. God's honest truth. Undoubtedly, this fact will somehow be viewed as a character flaw, as well.
