Chico, I believe you are incorrect (as opposed to wrong), but I don't have the facts to present at the moment.

I would like to ask you to consider whether you would be Grito y griterío como un coyote if you could not fill the tank on your car, your JetSki, your Dirt Bike, your Lawn Mower, and your String Trimmer.

Well, Dick Cheaney was the chairman and CEO of HALLIBURTON no one is keeping that any secret. As such, you would have to think that he is still a company stock holder in some capacity. That leaves room for the arguement that, that is the reason electric cars were never made availible to the public as an alternative to fossil fuels.

These three branches are supposed to keep each other from having too much power.

To help maintain that idea, the first ten amendments to the Constitution (known as the Bill of Rights) are also, by design, supposed to limit the power of government. And, the Constitution was written so that anyone who read it could understand how our government was supposed to act, and thus know when the government was doing wrong by its Citizens.

These days, the members of the Legislative Branch are chosen less and less from among the “common citizens,” and are more and more educated in “Political Science” with degrees in Law (this trend is believed by many to have started around 1945, others place it even earlier). That trend has effectively married the Legislative Branch with the Judicial Branch, and established a TWO to ONE imbalance of power in our government in favor of the Judicial.

We see the Lawyers, then, being educated to see Lawful and Unlawful as the only thing that matters, with the knowledge that they have the power to change lawful to unlawful, and unlawful to

I got it, thanks for the input. That's why I come here Arky51. Atleast we live in a country were we can still voice our opinions without someone putting plutonium in your drink, or driving a car bomb to your doorstep.
