As opposed to oligarchy run for the rich and ruled by a semi-literate
buffoon like Bush?

=======================

Absolutely yes. If the (so called) rich are well taken care of, there
are better crumbs for everyone else and you still get to vote them out
of office in a constitutional manner at some point. Ruled by rable,
who knows what you get other than chaos and instability. Be careful
what you ask for. We almost had a taste of banana republic politics
during the Clinton administration.

Wayne,
You are trying to have an intellectual conversation with someone who is only
interested in sound bites.

It's against my better judgement to engage in any OT posting but every
once in awhile I'll throw my hat in the ring if suitably inspired.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I think you need to take a hard look at
your own chosen form of dialog and decide whether you want to be part
of the solution, or part of the problem.
