I’m not arguing against the bill of rights, just saying it doesnt matter at this point, avalanche has launched and you gotta let it run out. People in power only want to do one thing and stay in power. It was true in Russia, it’s true here and was true for thousands of years. American government is not some supreme ethical force that will do no wrong, no matter what they may promise during elections. > > Edit: Yes I watch the daily show, if I’m going to watch BS on TV I might as well get a personal satisfaction and a laugh out of it as it doesn’t matter one fucking bit whether I watch Daily show or you watch the most honest and correct news source on the planet we will both be in the same boat. > > Sorry for being a realist, or pessimist as some may think. > > I’m just not holding my breath for next person in power to wave his magic wand and fix the world and it’s economy. You call yourself a realist but you admit your main news source is one that is entertainment and comedy first, and politics second. See the hypocrisy in that? Not everyone in power craves even more power. Look at our first president after the ratification of the Constitution. George Washington stepped down ON HIS OWN from power. He could’ve ran plenty of times more and would’ve easily won, but believed that any one person in power that long would be unconstitutional and goes against the principles the country was founded upon. King George, who we just got done fighting at the time, said that if Washington stepped down as president, giving away his power and position, he would be the greatest man that ever lived. You need to get away from the communist thinking from Russia and realize what this country was founded upon and what it has become. You can blame big business all you want, but you’re the one that brought it up for no reason in this thread so I’m not going to touch the subject. As the person who runs this forum Vlad, do you crave more power since you’re in power here? If you say no, then you just went against what you just said. If you say yes, then you’re just an asshole lol. > [@My New Car, ugh...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-new-car-ugh/47307/25): > > Vlad’s opinion of presidential power comes from regular Daily Show viewings so he’s basically a political scholar. +10 JClark points. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/interesting-photo/261842)._
