     Oh ? I hear approval is -much- lower. And, BTW, realizing that 50% of
the US have an IQ of about 100.... I am not sure this is really a 
"mob-rules"
thing.

    Most of the same people can't even conceive why the 1st and 5th 
amendment
even exist. Really. Thank God for Quorums.

    Only because of FUD, GW is now at the 40% approval mark, a new
all time low... and the Congress that rode Diebold in, is down to 28%
approval rating. Something you don't hear much about.

    So the delusion that "everyone approves" is mere propaganda.

    So did Nazi Germany, with its new efficient Government, called the
Third Reich. It too couldn't understand the need for Civil Rights.

   Matter of fact, it even created a slogan for the Nazi Youth,

  "Only Criminals don't want to be monitored"

  that, and another one you might have heard,
    
      "If you aren't for us, your against us".

    Wrong. Government cannot really be trusted, it is not a human, and 
it is not
a person,  that it -can- be trusted. It is a bureaucracy, with fiefdoms 
all over the
place. Remember Ruby Ridge.

   "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force!
     Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." - 
George Washington.

   Here, you and I concur.

  I doubt they have even noticed you. Most people assume they count in 
the big
picture of things, and they usually don't.

   My suggestion is to support the Constitution, and any document that 
attempts to
supersede it, without proper acceptance and ratification by 3/4th the 
States,
 as mere trash. The Constitution is the Rule of Law, in America.

   Something several Supreme Court Judges have pointed out, already.
