The quality of mind reflected in the personal attacks on Jimmy Carter by people who ignore the despotic measures taken almost daily by the Bush-Cheny Administration, and a spineless,collaborating Congress, suggest to me that we, as a people, are becoming so corrupted that we are incapable of preserving the kind of government given to us by the Founding Fathers.

What amazes me is that the Bush-Cheny Administration is producing a serialized Orwellian Virtual Reality Show, complete with daily doses of Double Think and Double Talk. And with impunity.

Hav our minds become so numbed that we are incapable of value-based dialogue. In the logic tight compartments of our minds, anyone who disagrees with any of our values disagrees with all. We have become either liberals or conservatives–we have,and tolerate, no middle ground; the options available to us are limited to "my way or the highway."

How long can we continue, as a people, to deserve the Nation given to us by the Founding Fathers. The Constitution the Founding Fathers gave us grew out of heated dialogue, hard compromises, giving and taking, and,ultimately,out of trust in each other that they cared for the core values of nation they were launching,and rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
