Democracy is not set in stone. It never was and it never will be.
\nDemocracy is an experiment, and like any experiment it can be ended.
\nI could say “let me be clear”, an expression entered into our
\nlexicon by the current President and picked up by so many political
\ncharlatans it makes the head spin. I say beware the fools that use
\nthat expression for what they really mean is “let me muddy the water”.
\nSo I won’t use that expression but how about this one, “shoot me if
\nI’m wrong” or this one “shoot me if I do not speak the truth”.
\nDemocracy in many ways is like a fire, if you do not feed and nurture
\nit, it will go out.
\nNowadays too many Americans are not tending the fire. They’re too
\nbusy blow drying their hair, going bowling, or getting breast implants.
\nHowever certain Americans are gathering water, lots of water, to
\nquench the flame. When I say water I mean p0wer.
\nCan you see them coming? No?, then for Christ’s sake put the fucking
\nbowling ball down, turn around and take a look.
\nWhy you might ask do they seek such power? I’ll tell you why.
\nBecause power is a rush, power is an incredible high, power
\ninevitably leads to enormous wealth, and these motherfuckers
\nwant all three.
