15. This can happen in any country.
And the US hasn't always been on the side of right. There's a lot of ugly in our past, too.

But these guys are turning out to be the worst of the worst. No one in US governmental history tops them. THAT'S the bad part. Just watching to see how bad they get. Where is the bottom for them? They're pretty close to it now.

I always thought if democracy were dismantled, it'd be really obvious. You know, something really BIG and everyone would know it. I never thought about how it could be subtle and slow, a shifting and shifting that takes place right under people's noses but most are too busy watching reality TeeVee and reading People magazine to notice. That's how it's done, that's how democracy dies--tiny bite by tiny bite.
