Good grief!

Next thing you know, they'll be fining people they catch picking their nose in the drivers seat.

Anyway...whats the chances they are actually going to catch you pushing a button on your GPS? I know we usually program ours before we go somewhere, or I program while he drives. Sheesh.

America has the most people in prison than any other nation in the world. I believe it's partly because we have too many laws.

It's all about control and the elites belief they can create a perfect world if everyone would do things their way.

You are right. These lawyers are always writing new laws, usually to benefit themselves or someone the hope will elect them into whatever political office they eventually will run for. I'm pretty sure that most of Congress were lawyers at one time.

There is no requirement for a person to be a lawyer in the federal government for senate, house, or president. There should be a ground swell of support via the internet to elect other than "lawyers" to these positions. The internet could be used very effectively for this effort.

So ask yourself, Why isn't the internet used to elect leaders the nation wants?

It requires more than the internet.

Consider the vast internet following of Ron Paul. Through the internet record breaking donations to a candidate were achieved. Rallies were planned. Information was exchanged. Etc. However, the media and the Repub Party were both against Ron Paul.

Now, look at Barak Hussein Obama. His supporters greatly used the internet to bring in money and draw large crowds, etc. However, the media and the Dem Party both backed Obama.

Even with the forces arrayed against him, Ron Paul did surprisingly well in the primaries with regards to votes. Yet with most Americans being predisposed to media influence and the idea of only voting for "winners" (or not voting for those already declared to be losers), the internet armada wasn't enough to bring Ron Paul into victory.

For Obama, use of the internet combined with the media influence and the workings of the Dem Party, he was able to broaden his support. With the media all but declaring him the winner, he was able to translate this extra support into votes.

The internet is and can be a powerful tool, but more is required.

Another factor that seems to plague the internet is lack of long term planning or stick-to-it-iveness. Things online seem to come about at the last moment or in the heat of the moment. Rarely are things planned out two or more years in advance, building to the moment of decision. Impatience is a problem online.
