Manning Up or Wimping Out: Men Don’t Exist to Serve Women’s Desires
A follow-on tag-line that correlates well with my previous missive….
….democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide. — John Adams
Maybe that’s why the Founding Fathers set US up as a representative republic and not a democracy.
However, since then, we’ve turned ourselves INTO a democracy more and more with each passing year. Forgetting the words of John Adams.
Doubt this?
Look at the popular election of Senators, taking power from the state-level government. Look at Reynolds v. Simms (SCOTUS 1964) that turned the state senates into nothing more than over-paid state representatives. In Colorado, the Denver-metroplex now holds 17 of the 35 senate seats. And guess where all the resources—water, finances, etc.—of the state are migrating to. Three guess. First two don’t count.
There’s a good reason why the east-west US Hwy 50, in southern Colorado doesn’t get much maintenance. It’s because it doesn’t serve Denver.
