[Occupymendocino] Borowitz: Warren’s Display of Backbone Threatens Career as Democrat

[Elaine and Ed]

This is another obvious example of why we need a completely new form of government. The US has never been a Democracy and was never meant to be one. Two books show this quite well. The first is Charles Beard's "An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution." The other is "Trading With The Enemy" by Charles Higham. Another example is shown by the Video titled "Taken For A Ride"
