NO! The sky is NOT falling!


You are getting very confused. I'm not the one that is panicking over
changes. I've already said several times that I'm am not worried about the
changes.

No Dee, "the people" are the gov't. Let me give you an example.


I've not said anything to the contrary. I've repeatedly said that society
(i.e. the people) find it necessary to have rules to insure the health of
the society.

No one in his or her right mind would ever trust any president,
representive, or group of them to decide whether an individual dies or not
(or any other group of bueraucrats either!) We would only allow citizens
to do that. It is called a jury and there are 12 of them to make sure
they get it right (yes, I know, there are still far too many mistakes and
DNA evidence has released a sizeable number from death row--perhaps with
DNA evidence we can increase our accuracy a bit.)

Well, the FCC is just like that. And we should never trust them to make a
really important decision for us. The FCC can only do its' job correctly
if all 350 million of us are looking over their shoulders and telling them
what to do. Trouble is, my president, senators and reps look a bit raggy
around the edges, even to the point of making me think they are corrupt
criminals. I am trusting they will get around to fix that soon ...
straight face

If someone is a lazy ass laying around trusting their gov't to do it for
them or for the other citizens, he or she is far from a great Amerian. A
great American is always active in making sure the peoples voice is heard.


I've never advocated that. Each person has a right to be heard. But you
forget that each person has their own opinion. Should your opinion have any
more weight than mine or vice versa?

What makes America great is everyones' right to free speech, activism,
protests, etc. It will all shake out in the end, any one mans/womans
opinion, or even any one group of men and women is unimportant in the much
larger picture.

In the final say, only the people have a right to place limits and they
only need to place limits to keep one from infringing on another, but you
already know that, our founding fathers documents could serve as no better
example, they need no "interpretation" on what anyone person thinks they
either are or are not--that is difficult enough.

It's already been pointed out to you that our founding fathers included the
Supreme Court for the very purpose of "interpreting" the Constitution.
