In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln spoke of a "government of the people, by the people, for the people."

Do you think that today's government still holds this to be true?

No. It seems that our gov't has the mistaken notion that, from the President on down, they "rule" us and we the people are here for their disposal. The tragedy is, that most citizens tend to agree.

God help us.
