What ever happened to a "government of the people, by the people, FOR the people?"

Cyber Nations

I just recently stumbled across this relatively new game on the Internets. It's called Cyber Nations.

Welcome to Cyber Nations, a free nation simulation game. Create a nation anywhere in the world and decide how you will rule your people by choosing a government type, a national religion, ethnicity, tax rate, currency type, and more in this new geo-political, nation, and government simulator. There are no fees associated with Cyber Nations, no credits or upgrades to buy, no gimmicks, just a fun place to hang out and rule your nation.

Caught this little gem on Fox News channel (of course) doing some channel surfing moments ago. There's a group out there called "Progress for America". As you can well imagine, they represent anything but. The commercial that got my attention can currently be found on the home page of their site. David Beamer, father of United 93 passenger Todd Beamer, appears in the ad. Here is the text of the ad:
On 9/11, our son Todd Beamer, was killed in action on United 93. Todd was one of the passengers and crew who fought back on 9/11 and saved our Capitol from being destroyed. Al-Qaeda killed 3000 Americans on 9/11 and will do anything to destroy us, and our way of life. Todd and United 93 fought back. We continue this fight in Iraq today. This enemy must be destroyed, in Iraq, and wherever we find them. There can be no retreat in this war.
