This means that people on the bottom of the socioeconomic class rank will have a harder time to make it. In many instances, including mine, I am a first generation college graduate and my family is poor, should this be used as a fair judge of a persons propensity to do a job or commit to a career?

In our world there are about 1.3 billion followers of Islam and the Koran. Only about 15 percent are considered radical fundamentalists. Is there anyone other than Bush and his cronies that really believes we can kill them all without the use of Nukes? You do the math, we can not kill them all. I see the use of nukes in our future. Iran also sees the use of nukes in their future. Some say the “war on terrorism” is going well in Iraq. I say our list of allies is getting shorter each day we spend in occupation of that country. We need to get our troops out. We need to protect our service men who serve there bravely.
We should protect them and America with wisdom not fear. Fear is what the November elections are about. In the Republicans mind if your fear is highest, they win.

Which is highest? Your fear or your wisdom?
Wisdom demands that we make friends in the world not enemies, wisdom demands that we find a way to end war. Wisdom demands that we make every effort not to use nukes. Fear could very well win out.

When our President speaks some listen, some see lies as lies. His words tell all.

THE PRESIDENT: I square it because, imagine a world in which you had Saddam Hussein who had the capacity to make a weapon of mass destruction, who was paying suiciders to kill innocent life, who would -- who had relations with Zarqawi. Imagine what the world would be like with him in power. The idea is to try to help change the Middle East.
Now, look, part of the reason we went into Iraq was -- the main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn't, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction. But I also talked about the human suffering in Iraq, and I also talked the need to advance a freedom agenda. And so my question -- my answer to your question is, is that, imagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there, stirring up even more trouble in a part of the world that had so much resentment and so much hatred that people came and killed 3,000 of our citizens.
You know, I've heard this theory about everything was just fine until we arrived, and kind of "we're going to stir up the hornet's nest" theory. It just doesn't hold water, as far as I'm concerned. The terrorists attacked us and killed 3,000 of our citizens before we started the freedom agenda in the Middle East.
Q What did Iraq have to do with that?
THE PRESIDENT: What did Iraq have to do with what?
Q The attack on the World Trade Center?
THE PRESIDENT: Nothing, except for it's part of -- and nobody has ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack. Iraq was a -- the lesson of September the 11th is, take threats before they fully materialize, Ken. Nobody has ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th were ordered by Iraq. I have suggested, however, that resentment and the lack of hope create the breeding grounds for terrorists who are willing to use suiciders to kill to achieve an objective. I have made that case.
And one way to defeat that -- defeat resentment is with hope. And the best way to do hope is through a form of government. Now, I said going into Iraq that we've got to take these threats seriously before they fully materialize. I saw a threat. I fully believe it was the right decision to remove Saddam Hussein, and I fully believe the world is better off without him. Now, the question is how do we succeed in Iraq? And you don't succeed by leaving before the mission is complete, like some in this political process are suggesting.

If murder 1 is a capital crime in so many states how is it these two offenses aren't.Both permanantly alter not only the individuals life but their families as well.Even if execution is not an option how about life in prison without the possibility of parole because both types are known to be repeat offenders even after serving prison terms.Your thoughts and opinions other than arguing against capital punishment period.How do you feel???

Three of the biggest issues in America.

1. Immigration
2. Social Security Reform
3. Terrorism

Not ONE person (Republicans included) had the guts to tackle these politically unpopular issues. He does, and now he's being ridiculed for it. I suppose when the Democrats say they want change they don't really mean it.

So many people claim that Bush is trampling the Constitution and taking away our freedoms. I would just like to know what freedoms you think you use to have that you no longer do.

Wars imply lots of acts that would be crimes if committed by normal citizens like you and me. There are laws protecting citizens. Isn't it a contradiction to the sense of these laws to declare who can be a missile target and who can't?
