Oops, I misunderstood.

I thought all this "Race to the bottom" talk was about our vanishing jobs and our diminishing paychecks. Now I understand that it is about our election process. First, our sitting pResident got fewer votes - and won! Now in the second example of this "Race to the bottom" concept sweeping our nation, the new CA Governor got fewer votes than the sitting governer ([link|http://www.capwiz.com/c-span/dbq/cagovcand/mainpage.dbq|http://www.capwiz.co...cand/mainpage.dbq]) - and won!

I get it now. It no longer matters what the People say in our elections.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
