The system has been corrupted. Our founding fathers warned us against this exact type of corruption. They knew they needed a populace concerned about limiting the government. What we have today, is a populace unconcerned about anything, watered down by outsiders without any commitment to the country. The founders thought we would elect leaders based on their commitment to the constitution, commitment to the people they represented. Now, that oath of office means nothing, commitment to the people means nothing. The constitution means nothing. It's all about power and money. And as the ultimate insult to the constitution and all of us, a president has been elected who may not even be eligible under that constitution. It is only fitting, we suffer such a disgrace. Every section and article of the constitution has been subverted. Lawyered. I feel it. It will take an effort unseen in our time to overcome this momentum of corruption. I do not see anything, any group, or anyone out there capable of the task. There is no plan, no road map to help up out of the wilderness of corruption. We will have to start from scratch. Do we have it in us? I don't know. We have become so splintered. So divided. I cannot even speak of what we are leaving for our offspring. I feel helpless.

I pretty much agree....We have crossed our Rubicon. I fear our little experiment is approaching it's end. Prepare for the worst.
