one of our heads is destined for tinfoil

i honestly think that the current... counter-reformation is a symptom of the growing pains of a relatively new nation. think about the bloody tyrants that every other country in the world has had throughout history -- we've had several inept and corrupt leaders, but really only one that was really scary. unless you count FDR, because there's an argument to be made there for defining his reign as dictatorship, but i'm not going to make it today. :) i guess i figure this too shall pass.
