    The rule of law reassert itself right after we break it until we want to break it again and then we reasserted for everybody else. Now that I violated you the law goes back into place and no one is allowed to violate anybody until I decide to violate someone else again.
    It's kind of like I can call myself a holy person as long as I go and say forgive me for I have sinned that I let it go until the next time I feel like sending again and then I send and go say I forgive me because I have sinned until I feel like doing it again.
    So basically when I bring fear I can break the laws and do whatever I want because I'm in fear but then as soon as I'm no longer and fair the law goes back into place for everybody else.
    Another words do what I say not what I do.

    "We the people" are ultimately in charge, and like a parent, we have to tell our children (government agencies) what they can and can't do.
    The vacuum of our laziness is currently filled by corporations.
    And that's why we are where we are.

      Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..." Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."
      Sounds pretty similar.

      If all votes were tallied together the chances of fraud increase 50x. And a close election would be a nightmare. There are many other good reasons for the EC. Like inner city democratic districts that vote 99% democratic. That is bullying, there re no republican districts that are 90%+ republican..

As a side note, why is their never a director in control of these little films? The shots are unflattering and poorly lit, the set looks like the Tyvek paper that covers houses under construction, and someone should have instructed Mr Kinzer on how to sit when facing a camera.

    The retelling of Clapper lying to the Senate at 47 minutes bothers me. Clapper got asked that question on live TV. If the same Senator had asked the same question in a committee would Clapper have given the same answer? Probably. But Senator Wyden created a situation where he had the choice but to lie or divulge information about NSA's capabilities. Expecting intelligence services to be transparent with leadership is reasonable. Expecting them to have complete transparency to the public is moronic for obvious reasons.

    Diem was autocratic, refused land reform, opposed Buddhism the predominant religion of the land and was a kind of French urban bureaucrat that lived in denial of the insurgency that was enveloping the countryside. The US felt he was driving the population into the arms of the Communist insurgency, SO a coup by military men seemed reasonable. His execution was a local thing; the US agreed to the Coup on the explicit understanding he and his family would not be harmed. So NO mystery there.
