Are we really doomed to repeat this every 200 hundred years? At least things might be good for our grandchildren.

  • I don't believe the people in this country, have "suffered" enough to have a revolution so I am not sure we are that close to having a revolution. The definition of tyranny is: dictatorship: a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.)

    absolutism: dominance through threat of punishment and violence We are not there yet. But I will say that the CZARS and their potential policies espoused could take usthere

  • @chattingwithu We're pretty close:

    tyranny - Many of our rights have been taken, we no longer have very much of what the Constitution intended.

    absolutism - wether people are scared or just don't care, we are dominated. We pay our taxes and get body scanned because they tell us to.

  • Why does this talk have to come now that a black president is in office. damn

  • this would have happened with mc cain, hillary, romney. anyone the general public would have elected in this silly american idol election system. but when you have 8 years of a crap admin full of old white cronies. what did you think would happen? with the news openly having stories screaming about racism towards obama, guilt, fear, stupidity. i knew he was going to be elected a year before he was nominated and realized how tragic it was gonna be that the first black prez would fail hard.

  • Well said.

  • BHO is no MLK =(

  • great video, learning about this in econ class. my thoughts: not until we add an amendment to our constitution that addresses the vaguness of 'general welfare' will this change in sect 8 I believe. a peaceful revolution..i'm doubtful, time will tell.

  • I think we are starting to slowly awaken from our sleep but it still is slow going...we are still drowsy with our indulgent lifestyles~

  • Good call. The amount of psychology and sociology learned in the 20th century is pretty staggering. Unfortunately, it's been mainly used for nefarious purposes by wall street, madison avenue, and washington DC

  • Interesting....Capital punishment issues aside, I think that's a GREAT idea.
