This country is not a dictatorship. The President's actual powers are limited, and just about anything that he can do can be undone by Congress, or by the Supreme Court if it's outside his power.
Of course, the hard-core supporters of the current Bush kleptocracy have been trying like hell to weaken the limitations on the President's powers, especially in regards to national security issues.
Funny how now they seem scared when
someone else may be operating without those limitations.
Speaking personally, I find few things more awesome than contemplating this vast and majestic process of evolution, the ebb and flow of successive biotas through geological time. Creationists and others who cannot for ideological or religious reasons accept the fact of evolution miss out a great deal, and are left with a claustrophobic little universe in which nothing happens and nothing changes.
