The LHC is ready to collide particles this morning. CERN has started the live webcast and you can watch the LHC control room and be there first hand when it blows up - just kidding.
The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is set to generate collisions at 7 TeV (3.5 TeV per beam). It is not known yet when the first collision will happen.
Currently CERN expects the first collisions in a couple of hours.
"Civic Belief #1:
Congress was given very specific powers. All else was left to the States and to the people. Ample checks and balances protect the Republic from federal tyranny.
Civic Belief #2:
The Federal government has become so powerful only because despotic officials have overstepped their strict, constitutional bounds.
If #1 is true, then how did #2 happen?"
EXACTLY. EXACTLY. EXACTLY. This is another Duh moment.
The problem lies in unabashed support of the American Constitution by uneducated Americans that have no clue why the document is seriously flawed and that shameless support allows the government to do everything it's done for 200+ years which is, little by little, slowly and incrementally consolidate power into the hands of a very few elite families, the Bush's as an example, one of the wealthiest in the US, and that power now controls almost the entire globe via the economic elite who are no longer even based in America and who are now, that the Industrial Revolution is over and profit has moved off-shore, destroying what's left of the country by ever so slowly eliminating the Middle Class.
Well, giving the three branches of government unchecked power has us where we are today and almost anything besides the US Constitution would be better.
Where in the Constitution does it say Congress can't pass the Patriot Act? Fund eternal war in Iraq and Afghanistan? Build 1,000 military bases all over the globe? Drop an atom bomb, two of them, on civilians? Fund the CIA and covert ops all over the globe? Overthrow Mossadegh, a democratically elected leader in Iran? Where does the Constitution prohibit Iran/Contra? The sales of drugs globally to fund CIA covert ops? Where?
The US Constitution is fatally flawed for a number of reasons.
To begin with it grants unlimited power to all three branches of the government and as Gary's historically well documented essay points out there are no checks and balances to that unlimited power.
I'll add to that that there is absolutely no method for the people to redress grievances.
Man people, it isn't a perversion of the Constitution that got us here, it IS the Constitution that got us here. Go read Gary's historically accurate essay about the Constitution with the quotes that support my opinion. I read it, but I've read similar documentation before so it comes as no surprise.
Click Here, it's a great essay and it's historically accurate and IMPOSSIBLE to argue with.
Where did the Constitution come from? Probably Rothschild's men as Gary points out.
