A few years back in the midst of the Bush years post-911 I wondered aloud if the Republic had fallen and that we were in that intermediate period between political structures where no one really knows that the Republic no longer functions...
Today pondering the sorry state of governance in the Senate and the vote buying entailed in governing, the dumbing down of the electorate (and don't get me started on the nonvoters) and I began to wonder again if a hundred years from now historians will look back and ponder if we knew that the Republic no longer existed.
Okay so I'm reading Chris Hedges Empire of Illusions so you'll have to pardon the bleak forward gaze...
