Well, if as de Tocqueville suggests, American democracy is doomed, there is one more thing I believe:
I believe my part of it at least, will go down fighting. Those fellows at the Alamo knew they were doomed, too, but it didn't stop them from giving their lives for a greater good.
More folks need to read Alexis' stuff.
