1. We the people? Or we, the US government?

WE, the people, are like the people in any other country in our basic needs, desires, and goals in life.

Our government, on the other hand, is a whole nother thing at this point. :wow:

2. ¿Qué dices?

4. It's hard to compare us to past empires and countries in decline

because our fall is so unique and the takeover of our government has been so subtle. No violent or bloody coups. Just a gradual transition.

I hate to say it, but in a way I think the SC ruling was good, because it sort of states the obvious. It's what many have figured for a while now anyways - that this country itself isn't governed by elected officials.
