Charlie,
Yesterday I joked about proposing a Constitutional Amendment to call for the separation of business and state. Hard to imagine such a separation, though, since the elected are chosen exclusively by virtue of funding by corporate interests.
Could we be witnessing the collapse of America and its institution of democratic governance from a social studies model we've to expect--the government working for the common good over speical interests?

Ok why not turn the whole thing over to them and pull our troops out. Let Haliburton and the comapnies that are making the money run the war and get the soldiers home for summer fest.

>From a Washington Post article:
...Shortly before the 2000 elections, American Dream PAC transferred $90,000 to the Maine, Delaware, Florida and Arkansas Republican parties. An additional $10,000 went to Texans Against Gerrymandering, a group set up by Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) to purchase software and draft maps in connection with the GOP redistricting effort....
This is a curious naming, Texans Against Gerrymandering, of a group devoted to planning the Texas redistricting assualt on Democrats.
It is so in-your-face that one wonders what it was like in the scene where that name was chosen. This, and another WP article about procedures for drug re-testing of federal employees were enough to inspire today's headache. Government workers, perhaps the employment category most in need of the use of drugs to endure the regimentation and monotony, is being subjected to a "gotcha" that makes job security a flimsy illusion. They didn't name it going postal for nothing.
Wonder when the congressional investigation of Iraq will convene?

"For Bush, Bad News in Iraq May Obscure Good News on Economy
Even though many polls suggest the economy is the number one issue in voters' minds, Iraq appears to be the defining issue of the 2004 election...
