No, it isn't the fault of all of us.

I read the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I've also been to many other countries. I feel most all of my rights, comparatively, are intact. When I came back from those other places I was even more happy to call the USA home. My human rights are pretty much intact, I know I will not be thrown into a gulag w/out a trial or representation, etc. I know that if I work a company can't just keep my paycheck. I know my money in the bank is insured by teh FDIC. I know that when my community is wiped out in a tornado, as what happened here a few years ago, and houses taken down to the ground, whole neighborhoods wiped out, the red cross and national guard shows up to help, and FEMA is there to give you a roof over your head

I sure do get tired of the constant anti-US sentiments I see on here, all surrounding vaping. NOT being able to buy eliquid online here in AR is, and has been, quite frankly, the LEAST tragic thing I have seen compared to what I have seen in the rest of the world!! You wouldn't even be able to bring a lawsuit against the FDA if you lived in some of the places I've been. You would just be shot. Or left on the side of the road.

This is just another small issue that needs to be solved, in the courts, in congress, by the people and the system we have in place to address our interests and beliefs. Be thankful such a pathway exists.

most places...........it doesn't.

It isn't only vaping, and what I said is far from anti American. A good read:

Limited Government, Unlimited Administration: Is it Possible to Restore Constitutionalism?

You may have faith, more power to you and I certainly hope your right, but I have seen far too much out of our government to have the same level of faith.

I only know we've been having our rights slowly stripped away. Who knows what rights we'll have in another 20-30-40-50 years? It's all for sale, only Money Talks. We are on our way to being a Corporatocracy, with Monsanto controlling food and Nestle controlling water. They will keep us sick so all our money goes to Big Pharma and Big Electronics gives us all the shiny distractions we could ever want, so that we will not be paying attention to everything we are losing.

We could become as bad as other countries, though it may look different, through our apathy, as Media drones on in our ears about how great we are- the greatest! Do you think the ruling corporations give a whit about the Constitution?

This is what I foresee, unless the brakes are put on and we find a way back to what we once were. Having the deeming regulations overturned would be a step in the right direction. But it will take lots more than that.

Mebe not, looks like the ECB may even outpace the FED in funny money as it buys up US assets (Monsanto).

G'luck. :)
