BB&T lost $20,000.00 of my money and the bank can’t/won’t try and find it. I have been looking for an address of the CEO, but it seems from what I’ve just read they come and go. And now they have left the building to go lecture.

Should I bother to wate a stamp? Who is listening there?

Sing it, Brother Don!!

We should have this sentence inscribed on the Capitol Building:

"The single greatest instance of intellectual foolishness today is the continuing pretense that politicians are serious people worthy of serious consideration."

It's just show biz backed by guns, folks.

In school, it's "show and tell".

In politics, it's "snow and sell".

You are welcome Methinks, however it is also true.

Some powerful try to arbitrarily usurp power, while others are honest (albeit wrong) in their actions, but both are constrained. Simply compare a completely totalitarian state, we have lots of examples from history and current nations, that kills, arbitrarily taxes (including slave labour), tortures, etc. America may not be perfect, and has gotten worse lately (wiretapping, removal of civil liberties, torture of non citizens, and the reaction to the recession), but is far from constraint free in action.
