Democracies Are Fragile
What Frank Herbert says here is true.
It seems to be another way of saying what Plato did: “Only those who don’t want power are qualified to hold it.”
Perhaps this is the reason that democracies have a finite shelf life on this planet.
As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Americans need to keep in mind that our failure to remove Donald Trump from our political scene threatens to put an end to what has been, by and large, quite a successful run.
Senior energy analyst Glen Doty remarks: This made me smile.
Governor Walz: I like you, but:
As shown at left, not everyone in the United States government is letting Trump order him around like a slave.
Why is this planet doing so little to mitigate climate change? Yes, partly it’s due to the fact that people alive today, especially those in the second half of their lives, will be dead before the worst effects of global warming turn this planet into a wasteland.
It’s amazing what gets Americans upset.
As shown at left, the United States has, in large measure, abandoned the idea that our government act in accord with the U.S. Constitution and the wishes of the men who came together to found this nation.
Given that the crime rate is so much higher in the red states, what’s the fascination with punishing cities that are controlled by democrats?
By exerting the absolute power that Trump believes comes along with the U.S. presidency, he has most definitely thrown most Americans into a snit.
Good question.
