Subject: RE: MD Bush Bambinos
Hey all,
Regardless of your opinion of Bush & Co., the ultimate responsibility
for the government's actions rest with the people.
If politicians are scumbags, it's because people allow them to be. If
citizens do not participate in the democratic process to hold them
accountable, why should we be surprised when power is abused for selfish
gain?
For example, the recent resignations in the Dutch government as a
response to public outcry concerning the Srebrenica massacre. When is
the last time the US population was united in outrage over a political
scandal to such an extent that it resulted in actual punishment of those
in authority? Furthermore, what kinds of political scandals capture the
attention of the collective conscience of Americans?
The answers to these questions are their own indictment of the state of
democracy in America. If Bush is a stupid, evil ass monkey, then perhaps
he's exactly the leader we deserve.
