$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Newfie', 'T')he primary role of government is to provide a single set of fair rules to all citizens. When it deviates from that it becomes a tyrannical anarchy.
Welp, sounds like you've just described the US since inception. It was built by, the rules were written by, and those rules were then enforced by rich, white, male, property owners.
Fair rules to all citizens, the US was a slave country for a century, wouldn't allow women to be involved in the affairs of the MEN for half a century after that, was apartheid for another half century after that, and right about the time the Supreme Court begin agreeing that yes, fine, maybe we'll let folks of color or without that important man part we are so enthralled with, get a little help here in the courts, and okay fine, women really can control their reproductive health, look what happened? The rich white guys revoked that through the same courts that previously granted it, and then tried to overthrow the government when it became obvious that the other rich white male dominated party wouldn't do it quickly enough for their tastes!
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('newfie', '
')This is where we are. 2 parties battling for leadership, neither one minding the helm. Biden is kinda like a pilot and the passengers are in a brawl.
Two parties....alternatively, two rich old white guys (certainly ain't about to let them wimmins in the club!) giving lip service to what Americans think they deserve/are owed/hope for while lying to them about what they will actually do. I wonder who wins in this kind of rigged game....inquiring minds want to know....mmmm.....
