It turns out that an ignorant populace is easier to lead around when you don't have to worry about things like "due process," "right to trial by jury," and all those other quaint notions from that old piece of paper.

You're making me feel like a dinosaur.

Context is really nice for some of us. I know you're a longtime DUer, but I don't follow you or read every post you write. I'm sure there are others like me, too! The headline was intriguing, but the context was very lacking. Can you please provide more detail?

Thanks in advance,

Ghost

to try to stir up some shit. That just shows how pathetic the lives of the cave dwellers and CUmmies really are.
