Rodney, for over 150 years the people have slid down the slippery slope of tyranny, avoiding responsibility of SELF-GOVERNMENT, and finally today the politicians reign where public servants are desired. Seriously, it is long past time for those of us aware of the corruption to not only object to it BUT in the interest of the country and our families to fight it. This is not even the 'tip of the iceberg' BUT then most Americans are too _____________ to even pay attention.... I took an oath to defend a country while its government was enslaving me while I was defending it - it is all there per the 14th Amendment, and numerous other kinds of usurpation by our governments at all levels. Hello??? Apathy and 'I'm too busy, and _________!!!
