actually something in common in the sense that they create this artificial sense of agency and take my aipac for example like it gives me the impression of control i think i can use whatever i want with it but the problem is of course that you know i cannot change the operating system i can only down load the applications that have a low rate of been created for me and i think democracy is a bit similar in that regard that people believe that they have all the controls of their disposal but some of those control seem to be artificial so. i guess what i'm saying is that these both democracy and technology can knock your sense of agency let me ask you a question name a better system that has withstood the long period of time that has given people prosperity given people peace give me the name of another. i'm not arguing against democracy i am arguing against their appearance of democracy which i think existed . in terms of democracy the greeks did not have perfect democracy had slaves for god's sake when democracy was first created while i think it's it's a very american argument but for me i

and the fact is that aipac and the israelis are adamantly opposed to this amendment. isn't that correct? mr. menendez: it is true that they are opposed. and i would assume that israel as a sovereign state knows what its security interests are better than anyone else. the presiding officer: the senator's time has expired. mr. menendez: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new jersey. mr. menendez: i have 12 unanimous consent requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. i ask unanimous consent that these requests be agreed to and that they be printed in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. corker: mr. president? what is the status -- the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. corker: what is the status of time right now? i think we ought to bring this to a close soon. the presiding officer: all time remaining is under control of the senator from kentucky, and he has two minutes. mr. paul: mr. president, several points have been made ab
