"hispanics" when they cross the border? Or is it because they are people without a country? Do they love Mexico or the United States? Or neither?If they have a car registered in the United States, and they are driving it in the United States and it has Mexican flag stickers all over it, are they Mexican? or confused Americans? or Hispanic?

I personally vote based on issues and values not race and religion. In some ways my vote is swayed by religion because I am pro-life and against homosexual marriage and those controversial subjects. I am Christian, and I would be willing to vote for an Islamic president, or an Atheist president, or a black one or an Asian-American one. I am just wondering if you are an atheist, are you more likely to vote for an atheist with different values or a Christian with the same values. Or if you are white, would you vote for a president that had a plan you didn't support, just to avoid having a black president? I don't want anyone to not answer in order to be politically correct, because I do want honest answers, but I hope no one will be outright rude and racist when they answer.

Do you think more Americans are attuned to politics because of Bush (whether they hate him or not)?

I have paid more attention to it since he came to power and there has been no slacking off. Au contraire, I am more involved each day.

Many people have said Bush was defused by the November 2006 elections. The MAJORITY says so. I think the majority is wrong all of the time regarding politics, but I have to admit, I am so hopeful they are right this time.

What do you think?

This is regarding the Electoral system. Considering when the Constitution came into effect, the vast population of Americans were poorly educated farmers. Perhaps the architects of our government thought giving the population the power of electing the highest office in the land was too great. Now days we are generally more educated and informed of candidates and issues. Why can we not amend the Consitution to allow direct voting of the President? Are there pros and cons? What do you all think of the system?

Every time I receive a book in the mail, it's been opened by the mailman or the post office...am I in trouble?

This seems to happen only when things are sent media rate, though two books sent to me from overseas have also been opened.

Am I on the Homeland Security watch-list (I used to be involved in left-wing activist politics) or are they just really strict about media rate mail?

The US can open media rate mail without a search warrant, but do I have grounds for hiring a lawyer? It happened again today for about the 8th or 9th time...

Now that the fact of the war in Iraq proves that these countries were right to oppose the war, do you still have resentment on these long term allies ?
