1. Freedom of Religon. A small fraction of a powerful religous group is attempting to force us to pray like them by forcing our children to pray (their way) in public schools. This faction is quite blatent about enacting laws based on 'what the bible says'. I.e. legality of tattoos case in point.

2. Reverting to a system of Royalty Wealth is polorizing into the hands of a powerful few at the expense of the common person. After siphoning off more than their share of the public wealth, they intrude on government. Gvt is about the people, by the people and for the people, not the corporation.

3. Lethargy on the part of the voter. It is the uneducated, emotional voter who is unaware of the basic principles of the constitution who are it's greatest threat. You can't blame ther politicians anymore than you can blame a snake for being the snake. Democracy is about responsibility as much as 'rights' and many voters do not understand this.

  1. I agree that our fundamental values are under attack.

    I think however, that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion.  No one is forcing anyone to pray in school.  We who do pray and claim to have spirituality are trying to defend our freedom to practice such.  I think religion and spirituality begins in the home anyway, not at public school.

    As for the system of Royalty Wealth, I agree with you on that.  It seems our system of government has forgotten about the "little man".  And it's probably gotten that way due to your last point about the lazy voter (or should we say, non-voter).These people that should not be in our government end up there because there's not enough Americans who care enough to make their voice heard.  

    I say, if you don't vote, you can't complain about who gets in office.  I agree that our rights come with responsibilities, and our government should understand that too.


  2. I think you are under attached!

  3. 1.  I don't see this small faction of a religious group in America trying to force prayer in school, only the RIGHT to pray and conduct Bible study with open invitation only as an elective.  The Supremes made sure prayer will not be mandatory.

    2.  "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."  We all have the power to create wealth in America, some are just better than others doing this.  The have-nots is by choice.  Apparently this makes them happy.

    3.  Agree in a whole, the average American voter is clueless on the candidates.

  4. expansion and contraction of religious sphere is a cyclic phenomena . Soon this phase will be over  so relax
