Unfortunatly, some of the responses did not follow the same venue. The last thing that I want is any bad feelings, so I've decided that I'm going to try to not make any more posts other than wishing people well, happy beirthday, etc.

That being said though, let me ask you and everyone else here one final question. (If what you say is correct, and I have no doubt that it is).

How do we fix it without discussing it?

See, I've always thought that you cannot fix any problem unless you discuss the possible causes and solutions with the other people that are involved. And I completely agree with you that we, (the American public) needs to wake up and get our heads out of the political party sand. But how do we do that without discussion? So I ask again.... how do we do it?

That's the easy part, Destroyer...redirect your anger at those who are the real threat...I contend that to be our lawmakers, elected officials, politicians...whatever you decide to call them...there is not one problem we have today, that wasn't CAUSED or ALLOWED by Congress and the Executive Branches of our modern day government...that over the last 30-40 years while Dems AND Reps have come and gone...

The guys who disagreed w/you ARE NOT the problem...liberals ARE NOT your problem...conservatives ARE NOT the problem...healthy discussions of different points of view shouldn't be sensored...and shouldn't be escalated into WWIII levels. But we are human and emotions are many times brought into discussion...It makes me as mad as hell to watch what our government is doing to us...but just gettin mad ain't gonna CHANGE anything...staying calm and finding ways to come together against the people who seek to rob us of our money and rights will get the job done...and admitting there are those on BOTH sides of the aisle...if every Dem dropped dead tomorrow, the lobbyists wouldn't go away...if every Rep croaked 1st thing in the morning, the Dems would still be on the take...your vote doesn't mean a thing when theirs is FOR SALE...THAT'S our enemy...and we should be DEMANDING it STOP and focusing that DEMAND toward Washington..not each other...
