History doesn’t have to repeat itself. The founding fathers had to face some pretty dismal times and had to overcome some pretty formidable opposition. What the US needs to do is realize that they still have the power, they just need to take it away from the corrupt politicians and corporate powers that make the people think they can’t change their ways. It would be a lot of work, and like the founding fathers, there would be many obstacles to overcome. I believe that time is quickly nearing. The people are getting restless and are seeing beyond all the media to keep them in the dark.
The other great cultures latest thousands of years, the US has only been in power for a few hundred. Imagine the greatness that could be done if they can recapture what made America great. I wish them luck, and truly hope it can, and will be done.

It could be argued that the constitution was the spark which lit every civil rights movement in the US. Although a great many nations had abolished slavery in the world, very few nations did so when so much of the national industry relied on that trade.

The problem mainly relies on the fact that although the constitution was sound and the constitutional court a stroke of genius, much of the government structure, enlightened for it’s day, quickly became a cumbersome rathole rife for exploitation.

Then again you can say that about most countries…

Fixed, the White House & the Obama administration think of us as insignificant.

No, it is simple. You can’t use Copyright laws to micromanage what someone does with their own legal property. Copyright Laws overturn property rights and in fact legally return ownership to the Copyright holder. How exactly is that legal? Property is stolen by the US government to be handed over back to the Copyright holder? They retain rights to the original, but the copy that I possess, purchased outright with my hard earned money, is mine to do with as I wish. It’s one thing if we were stealing their copies of films and distributing them, but we are not doing that. We are distributing our own property.

This isn’t the first case where US has punched someone in the face and gotten away with it. While NZ might struggle a bit, in the end they will bend over and do what is asked, should the thing escalate. Since it hasn’t done so yet, US simply doesn’t deem this important enough… yet.
