essay on current affairs in English

Answer 1

Clearly lots of people have views other than our political leaders.  Some write columns in the papers, some have talk shows on TV.  Most of us are left with the Internet as a means to express ourselves.  On these pages you'll find the commentaries of one citizen, for whatever use you can make of them.

Treason

dictionary definition:
1 : the betrayal of a trust :
2 :the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family 

There is all manner of evil in the world.  One of the worst kinds is a government that turns on its own people.  Usually we think of such an event as happening all of a piece, appearing suddenly as an aberation.  But in the case of the United States of America, this treason has arisen slowly over time, almost unnoticed by those who fell under its power.

One could ask, how can a government commit treason against itself, but the facts are that in the United States, the true government is the People, and if a sitting government turns against its own People here, it commits treason.  Further, our elected officials owe allegiance to the Constitution, and by violating its principles, they also commit treason.
