She watches the polls and says what ever is popular and this qualifies her to be leader of the free world?

Will she rise to the occasion once elected?

There is a lot of talk about raising the minimum age.....Should there be exceptions to this....I mean do you really think that a person deserves 8-10/hr to deep fry french fries all day....I don't....personally I would not pay them more that 6 or 7 to do that all day if the gov did step in.....Are there some jobs that just don't deserve even 7-9 an hour.....I think there are.

Sincere question. I think about all the people who could make a big difference in the political world today, but are probably not willing to give up their freedoms and lives for the cause. And can't say I blame them.

So...why do you think people go into politics? Is it for fame, notoriety? Or are some people just civic minded and truly want to dedicate their lives to their country, and making it the best it can be?

It would be wonderful to see examples of the latter...

put so much time and effort into marches and protests here in the U.S.A., and not in Mexico where there are sooooo many resources to improve their economy? Why not change your country? Is it because everything is already set up here? I know its easier, but shouldn't some of that Latino pride I keep seeing posted here be put where it could do some good? No malice or anger here, just a question. Please, none of the racist remarks from either side of the debate. It doesn't solve or do anything positive. I posted this TWO hours ago and did not receive ONE answer.

The brain scan that can read people's intentions
http://www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0,,2009229,00.html

London Guardian-Friday February 9, 2007
A team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act.

The team used high-resolution brain scans to identify patterns of activity before translating them into meaningful thoughts, revealing what a person planned to do in the near future. It is the first time scientists have succeeded in reading intentions in this way.

The use of brain scanners to judge whether people are likely to commit crimes is a contentious issue that society should tackle now, according to Prof Haynes. "We see the danger that this might become compulsory one day, but we have to be aware that if we prohibit it, we are also denying people who aren't going to commit any crime the possibility of proving their innocence."

Do liberals really think their fellow Americans are too stupid to vote properly on the issues? Doesn't this seem similar to the old scams democrats used to pull to keep blacks and other minorities from voting?

Every day in the news we can read about Government manipulation, witholding information or just straight lies. Today's guilty part is the Pentagon. Is it possible that some of the Nations we codem are more honest with their people than our Government is with us?

The "income gap" is the growing gap between the median income of the top group and bottom group - many economists use "quintiles" or 20% but the below is applicable to 10%, 5%, etc... for the last 25 years.

All groups' incomes are rising, the top group is rising fastest. Individual membership in each group turns over - of the bottom group, 85.5% won't be in it 10 years from now, 15% will be in the top group and 63% will be in the top 60%.

Statistically if most but not all individuals' incomes rise, the top group will increase by most and the bottom group will increase by the least, because individuals in the bottom group moving up will soon leave it, while individuals in the top group moving up just keep bringing the group up, and because most new entrants to the economy (young people and immigrants) start at the bottom.

Some people compare "groups" in the relative, without the detail, and spin it to support a bogus "feudal" world view - a fairly transparent shell-game. Why?
