From the 1600s on, the British Crown issued charters to the Hudson Bay Company, The Virginia Company, The American Fur Company, the list is long. Also granted were permissions to settle, Jamestown, Roanoke etc., everything was fine and dandy as long as all concerned traded only with the home islands. The trouble started when the early colonialist started doing business with foreigners (not British), taxes without representation, Boston Tea Party, the rest is history.<br /><br />The American Democracy started off on the right foot giving rights and freedoms to most people (white people). It seemed only a matter of time that a true &quot;For the people, by the people&quot; government would emerge from the ashes of the Revolutionary War. But as you beautifully point out, all hopes of that have been crushed over the years by legislation favoring banks and companies to big to fail.Holte Enderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10356437917387847542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-18731708939052003552009-11-14T16:06:13.462-05:002009-11-14T16:06:13.462-05:00Dave<br /> Two things! I see us as a right wing bastion much of it militant looking for a fight. Obama seems to be our only glimmer of Democracy at least in his own words but not his actions that must be colored with socialism to rescue the country.<br /><br /> Secondly I have to tell you I may be late but I just noticed your regular link is working again. I remember you had me switch because of a 404 message but it is gone!an average patriothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-58403454654999326642009-11-14T15:41:06.317-05:002009-11-14T15:41:06.317-05:00Well done Dave.
