Alex also believes you should take down the Facebooks and Twitters about him. He and Judge A.. Howard Matz Utilizes the U.S. Marshal's Office to Censor and Silence Victims. Google it.

@Wrongway1965 I believe it is apathy more or less but not so much a laziness, more a sense of being overwhelmed with a deluge of (intentional) overload. A conditioning of the masses IMHO. One Bill one Issue and one Vote at a time should be the order of the day of a Constitutional run Government. Instead we get 2000 issues in one Bill. To little to late , No, but harmful for a very long time. We will prevail in the end once the "Silent Majority" are awake. The Sleeper has awakened! LOL 2012!

@Synapticsnap DOH! sry bout that,.. yeah I went right past your definition of 'minority'.

Hmm.. then are the 'Silent Majority' apathetic, or lazy, or do they feel like,'why try? it won't change anything..'. If it's the latter, I do think that now, the apathy & laziness are goin away pretty quickly.. Too LIttle Too Late??

@Wrongway1965 Cannot agree with the open form of "reasonable" you've put forth but I understand your meaning, since what is "Reasonable" has changed so dramatically since it's incarnation. Why? Is a whole other topic on Morals, Forced Federal Education Systems and our changing and Modified Society which also delves into the Political aspect as well. As for my meaning of "minority" I am aware of the Constitutional aspect, I was referring to a motivated "Minority" of voters that vote. Leftists.

great video.

We need to repeal the Patriot Act, it is a horrible violation of privacy.

@Synapticsnap Hiya,.. while I do agree with your Basis, the USConst. was set up in a really ingenious way to prevent an injustice to a minority thru a majority thru the Judiciary.. But it also seems that the USGovt. is exploiting the 'GREY' areas of these rulings for law enforcement/national security issues.. Just Once!, I'd like to see the USSCOTUS say,'the USConst. is still in effect, & is STILL the Law of the Land'.. the word 'Reasonable', needs to be replaced with 'If___ , then ___ ..'
