Holy City and Holy books.

Ah, the great holy city of Jerusalem and the surrounding holy cities. The places of God, where he painted first and filled the world with life and such beings as Jesus, Moses and Muhammad. The great wonders of the world, at least to me, is how much blood has been spilled around these cities and how many worthless and unethical wars, battles and crimes have been waged on its soil.

Most religions preach tolerance and acceptance, and the big three (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are not exceptions to this. However, if you read the history of their holy city, Jerusalem, you might think otherwise. It is one riddled with corruption, deceit and destruction. If anything these religions have evolved into excuses for genocide when there is no backing if you understand and read their holy books. They are loosely interpreted to mean things they do not.

Why is this important? It is a good idea of how the fall of America will come about. Our holy city is the District of Columbia.. or Washington D.C. Our holy book is the Constitution, and it is as well loosely interpreted for the past 100 years. You cannot allow such a document to burn and dissipate, you cannot twist its words to come to your desires. You must protect it, because it is the most important stepping stone to liberty and without, with all that has happened to it, it is failing.

James Madison warned of the 4th branch of government. The special interest. He knew there was only one way to combat it, and it was representative government, one that has a ratio of one representative per 50,000-60,000 people. Today, it's more like 700,000 - 1,000,000. With too few, it becomes oligarchy, with too much it becomes democracy. However, with the right amount, special interest will effect many votes but not a majority and your community will have a representative rather than your community and some others have the same guy. It would make running easier, less expensive and bring more voice to the people.

The special interest do not want that, makes it harder to abuse the constitution and abuse the rights of the people. 9/11 was a perfect chance to take advantage of the people's desire for security in fear and you must always remember this:
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. " - Benjamin Franklin
