At this writing, the 2008 election is only 25 months away. America is getting ready again to play the deadliest game of Ping-Pong in the universe. This horrifying process was first described to me (although I'd noticed it myself already) by libertarian lecturer/philosopher Robert LeFevre. Every time we elect somebody new, Bob explained -- usually because we're fed up with the Old Regime screwing up our lives and finding ways to limit our freedom -- the New Regime soon finds ways of its own (because it had them in mind all along) to do exactly the same stuff. At the same time, it never undoes whatever its predecessor did to us...
