"Problem . . . "

Message Replied To ==========

Trump is signing whatever EO Bannon puts in front of him, without consulting agencies

to see if they are even feasible.

==============================

on torture: He says he's for it . . . but won't do it because his advisers advise him not to. He makes no mention of what McCain rightfully said . . . CONGRESS HAS MADE IT ILLEGAL!!!!!!!

Congress? What is Congress? They are going to rubber stamp his stupid wall . . . waste of money . . . biggly . . . so I am beginning to wonder what they won't rubber stamp.

All while the news on every station . .. left, right, center . . . is every morning focused on what "he" is doing . . . how "he" will do it . . .

We are as close to a king today . . . as we were when FDR was in power.

"The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to — for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well — is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen."
