I've kept quiet about the Schaivo case, mainly because
So Many Good Words have already been said about it.
But, to me, it's not about saving the non-life of a woman, or politicians trying to get re-elceted by Taking A Stand. To me, it's all part of a bigger issue we're going to have to deal with soon: The Mississippification of the US.
Now I may start sounding like Alex Jones of Infowars.com (someone I take with some serious mountainsized grains of salt), but you know what I see in this case? Remember the gay marriage issue? With all the "rogue judges? And now Congress simply "taking" jursidiction of this case from those judges? I'm almost sure what we're seeng is the beginning of the end for state level judges. I'm seeing the Feds say "It doens't matter what they say, we're above them." I'm seeing the Emperor declaring all those Jedi are evil.
I've said it once, I'll say it again, but now I'm going to amend it:
Before Bush's Term is Out, One or Two States with Seceed from the Union. Either because Bush has gone too far (Western States), or because he has not gone far enough (Southeastern States) .
And if no one seceeds, and the Mississippification continues, we may even have a Civil War on our hands by 2020.
I don't like talking politics here, and I hate sounding like Alex Jones, but this is a scary time, if you care about your rights.
