Government - October 2006

Did the founding fathers succeed in creating a government with adequate seperation fo powers between the three branches of government, or does America simply have an elected king? What instances, court cases, laws (or law violations, depending on your position) support/disprove the idea?

Washington is ignoring this very danderous threat by the North Koreans, meanwhile is destroying the middle East , why the difference? The real and present danger to the United States is and will come from Asia!

As far as conspiracy theories go, the theory that 9/11 was actually concieved and executed by the American government is a VERY intriguing one. But think for a moment.... If the government really WAS behind such a horrific event, how would the rumor of their involvement ever see the light of day? The American government is the most powerful on the face of the planet, and now has the ability to tap into any phone conversation and e-mail, right? If they really WERE behind it, how would they ever let rumors of it even begin to circulate? I would think that the moment the idea was first posted/talked about, the government would completely destroy all traces of the remark, and have a federal agent hunt the person down and kill him within minutes (under the assumtion, that is, that the government truly has become as facist as people make it out to be) to prevent the theory from gathering momentum.

If 9/11 WAS done by the government, there's no way anyone would ever think about it.

I know that we elect people to make decisions for us, but how do they get this info? I have written letters, etc, but all I have ever gotten back was a form letter...Thank you for your concern, blah blah...
Do any of these letters ever reach the elected officials themselves? Is there a more effective way to let your voice be heard?

Just wondering since his administration seems to regularly pull from a assorted bag of tricks, and since they are so fond of attempting to modify the constitution....

Seriously, in a time of war, can the US President override the 22nd amendment that limits terms and do a Roosevelt and stay in office for the duration of the war? Everyone (almost) would be in a uproar, but considering all the crap that has rained down since he has been President, nothing surprises me anymore.

So, could he do it...if his handlers have the gall to do so...and of couse nothing Bush and Co does at this point could shock me much as it has been six years of unpleasant sensory overload...

Discuss...

...hmm. You never know.
Perhaps his Daddy promised the other big oil/big business guys to send Dubya up there to help out Oswald and company to rid their world of what they considered to be a Catholic Democrat menace?

Hmm...you never really know do you?

I know of certain instances in which there exist Chinese "entrepreneurs" in charge of major sections of industry. Is this possible within the communist framework of the country? Are these men simply government employees with good positions or are these merely affluent, self-made, independent and private individuals?
