Nah. I would never do that. You can let me be president. Really.

Too bad all treaties have to be ratified by the Senate.  |

Well, I would disolve the senate the day before.
Did I say that out load?
Oops.

Of course to do that you'd need to be granted "special emergency powers" in a carefully-engineered national crisis.
I can't decide whether to draw a parallel to Attack of the Clones, Babylon 5 or modern-day USA...

Re: OT: Free speech?
Why should I love my country?
It is nothing but a place.
It's the place I am from.
This chair is where I am sitting, but I do not love it.
I am not free because of my country.
I am free because of the people who lived in my country before me.
They gave up their lives to gain their freedom.
Someone after them gave up their life to keep that freedom.
Now I give up my freedom to save my life.
Someday someone will give up their life to get that freedom back.
Because they are from my country.

Beautifully put Geo. Did you write that yourself or were you quoting?
