Well I am not quite sure how you read all that crap into my post, perhaps a remedial reading class would help.

Athough your own Benjamin Franklin did suggest once that a despotic government might occur when Americans had become so corrupt as to require such, I think I have his words around here somewhere, ah yes here it is;

"I these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if there are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other."


Benjamin Franklin Philadelphia 1787

I realize that your experience with the world is rather limited but there are many, many different forms of government between what you have here and a dictatorship should you care to investigate. As for attempting to change you I had only hoped to educate you a little but that task makes the Augean Stables look like a Sunday School picnic.

Have a nice day.
