7. With any luck at all, this debacle will snap Americans back to
reality and make them see what other countries have been dealing with for eons. Somehow we let this happen and, if nothing else comes of it, I hope we have learned the lesson that checks and balances are what made this country great; that no one could come into this great country and declare themselves king or dictator - not here. I'm 62 and all my life I was told that we should NEVER have one party in control of all branches of government, and yet we let it happen. I think it happened because of the voting process being highjacked, and yet I have seen very few high-profiled Dems in Wash saying much about this, and that makes me go hmmmmmm. Is it because they have been bought and assured of their jobs? I hope not. Until we eleminate voter fraud, we will not have a democracy; that is of the utmost importance for America to survive.
