This forum established after an incident of witch hunts and tracing attempts was observed to occur against students who spoke out on a topic others wanted silenced, on another forum. Our site is dedicated to those students.

READING BOTH COMMENTS, IT SEEMS LIKE RIGHT NOW THE SYSTEM EITHER IS USED TO USURP POWER, OR (IN THE CASE OF GREATER STABILITY) AS A MEANS TO BUILD IMMENSE POWER. EITHER WAY, I FIND THAT THE RESULTS ARE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO WHAT THE NATION NEEDS.

BILL SKATE IS ONE OF THE MOST POLITICALLY ASTUTE LEADERS WE WILL EVER HAVE AND HIS TENURE WAS A COMPLETE DISASTER. WHO ARE THE PEOPLE ELECTING IN THE FIRST PLACE? GRAB ALLS, MOST OF THEM.

WE ARE SUFFERING FROM A BUILDING OF PRECEDENTS WHEREBY THE GOVERNMENT HAS FOUND MORE AND MORE LOOPHOLES AND PATHWAYS TO GET WHAT THEY WANT INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE RULES. THE NICE WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS AS "CUTTING THROUGH RED TAPE".

GOOD COMMENTS!
