I just put that up there for some comic relief to our waging war agianst "god" as he so likes to be called, but instead I will call him by Jeff's given name "The Beast Master." So here goes : The Beast Master is saying that within a democracy corruption can be rooted out because voting is like a redeeming a cleansing process. This is what I believe to be a very naive thought, but i will continue the synapsis. So the rebels that are desperately battling thus said Beast Master are basically trying to claim that not even voting will root out the evils of corruption in a society. But the said Rebels have failed to give example of Democracies and have only been able give examples of Totalitarian states. Conclude Synapsis. Now what I believe is that in this modern age of large media and the "internet" we are still unable to see all of the corruption that is taking place in the government. And since we being the voters don't know where and when and how our government in corrupt and who are the corrupters, then we are therefore unable to vote the corrupters out of office and cleanse our system of corruption. I will leave this arguement at that but I will move to another, and that is that we should have no local governments?!? This boggles my mind because as a conservative this is the main thing that I want. I was at the San Fran baseball game and The Amerian flag was not as high up as the Californian State Flag and at this I was almost crying because it was so beautiful. A state that thought their local goverment was more important than the one in Washington! But later i found out the American flag was just positioned further away than the Californian flag. Here is the thing though when people, we, are all being ruled by a government in Washington then the system becomes more similiar to that of a monarchy because we are being ruled from far away and by people who don't what are problems are. To combat that problem we have Senators and House Reps. that go to Washington and make the Minnesotan's buisness known, and I don't think they do a good enough job of that. I agree with you Beast Master that many laws the state passes are unneccesary and meaningless, but I think that is because they are power hungry and state government officials want to say that they have some power and they then pass the only laws that they are allowed to pass these day, meaningless ones. So what I would like is there not to be less local government, but instead to remove their meaningless take alot of the power away from Washington and the central locations and transfer that power to the state level, where the people would be better heard and provided for. And very lastly I would like to apologize for making the last few articles turn into a boxing match where I directly attacked Jesse. I, as I look back on it, think that was in bad taste and this column Atimes, is about expressing beliefs and it isn't about attacking other peoples beliefs, merely arguining with them. So in the future I will try to not directly attack a person but instead attack his column.
