RC> and why have the Dems lost ground in the past 3 elections?

 ml> a lot of folk that i've spoken to over the years have related the
 ml> desire to have voted democrat if they were to vote or to become
 ml> registered voters... every single one of them has stated that they
 ml> didn't "because it wouldn't do any good" as their one voice could
 ml> never acomplish anything over all the opposition voices ;( 

 DC> If that's the case, democracy as we know in this country will be  a
 DC> thing of the past.  

it is well on the way... look at the many recently enacted items that are
virtually identical to what was done in other countries that led to very
bad situations and several world wars... gun registration being one...
homeland security being another... 

i leave you with this quote...


"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security,
deserve neither liberty or security!"

--Benjamin Franklin
