Low voter turnout is a problem across America. So few people vote unless there is a major issue at stake, and even then, turnout rarely gets to 50%. So why not set up a system that requires registered voters to vote. Failure to vote would result in a monetary fine. Extend the election from one day, to five to give people ample time to get to their polling place. A major problem, right now, is that young people don't vote, and minorities are underrepresented at the polls. Required voting would result in better representation among all groups. For those that don't vote, the money would be another source of revenue for the government that could be put into education, health care, or some other system. So what are the pros or cons of such a system?

I just got back from Washington DC, the capital of the United States of America, which in my opinion should be the safest and most secure place on the planet. I did not feel that way...to be more exact I felt the least safe and secure I had ever felt in my entire life. If you've never been there it will absolutley blow your mind how dangerous it is, the things that get reported on the local news there at night are down right scary, ever more scary that for some reason the national media does not cover it...

Basically Washington DC is not safe to walk around by yourself during the day, but ESPECIALLY at night, even on the same street with all the federal buildings and monuments people are getting mugged and killed...

I am so disappointed in Washington DC.

Would it be legal for basically kick out all the civilians and treat it as a Military Facility in order to return control of DC back to the Fed Govt and not have the streets run by crime?

With the navy increasing the number of sailors in Iraq, who will be going? What ratings will be sent over there? MAs, SEALS, etc. Will an intelligence specialist in the reserves have a high chance of deployment?

should utilities such as garbage, water, gas, and electric be ran by the government since regulations can be upheld and the sanitary issues Oakland faces now (and for the past four weeks) be avoided? This would allow for uninterrupted services.....?!?!?

What are your thoughts on legalizing drugs? The war on drugs seems to be a pointless waste of money that can not be won. check out this discussion here for more info - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArM7vsg_knGy225Y.wWiDF3sy6IX?qid=20070721035209AAh9ofr

So, my question is, are you for or against the legalization of various drugs and why and why not? Are they really any worse than tobacco or alcohol? It seems to work fine in the Netherlands. Is there a chance of this ever happening? (I personally doubt it, I think the country is too conservative for it to happen)

If it ends up with Hillary vs Giuliani, i really don't think there is so much of a lesser of two evils as their are two evils period.
Anyway if it does come down to that ,Would it be legal to write in ManBearPig, my pops said its illegal to try to make a mockery of the electoral system is that true?

I don't think they do. The congress criticized the Iraqi parliament for wanting to take a break in a time of war, yet they constantly attack this President and this country AT A TIME OF WAR. Its double talk of the worst kind, it used to be America had a spine and stood united against a common enemy. Ultimately history will show that it was our self destruction, our implosion, that led to our demise. Not any enemy. When America is united no one can beat her, when she's divided that's when we always lose.

They limit your choices more by being "big government" and they raise your taxes even to the poor. Hillary and Obama signed a bill last month stating that if elected that they will raise taxes by $4500. Tell me why you like the Democrats and ill respond to your answers, in extra info. Have backing to your answer or else ill make fun of you. lol.
