Soon, probably tonight, the world ends a new era. An era of unabashed Pax Americana where the world is “protected” by the American military.
A police force presiding over peoples and nations who have no say in our policy or leadership. How do are we supposed to justify that in light of our consitution and belief in democratic rule?
What if a people don’t WANT to live by our form of government or economy? Doesn’t the belief in government through consent of the governed suggest that it should be their choice?
Where are Paine, Jefferson, and Adams when we need them? (I know, I know, there aint anybody here but us. *sigh*). America, what have we done to you?
