Boil the frog slowly

A friend of mine signs all her missives with "The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others." But we have two generations who believe that the right to bear arms is about hunting;

And we have Senators McCain and Feingold who have passed a law that so twisted Freedom of Speech that it is only to protect "art" and not the very politics it was intended to protect;

And we have a Tenth Amendment that is never mentioned in public schools, that most people can not name, and which is routinely ignored by elected officials and employees of the government;

And we have an American populace who know more about Brittany Spears than what either of the Democratic candidates plan to do to them;

And citizen, we have a recipe for future slavery.
