 Hello, my friend. Hello, George. Have you read in the paper about this new Defense Authorization Act that Congress passed in a bipartisan effort? I think I am familiar. The bill authorizes the military to detain an American citizen indefinitely without due process. I cannot believe the United States citizens would allow this. Don't people understand that those forefathers were against having a standing military for these exact reasons? That's true. Just look at the Third Amendment. The Founding Fathers were well-educated men of the Enlightenment. The understood the downfall of great empires is due to the military taking over the government. Don't people read history anymore? I think everyone is playing fantasy football and watching American Idol instead. Oh. Then in that case it is their own fault for allowing their democracy to become controlled by the military. True. It is their own fault. We gave everyone the tools needed to maintain a healthy democracy.
