Civic Participation

top killers in the world, and don't contain both an addictive drug and ingredients that are carcinogenic from the "get go", what can be done about tobacco products. I was not asking about all products that have potential harm. One specific product. Tobacco. It is a major killer. It has been allowed to continue to that venue by our government all in the name of money. There are alternatives to tobacco crops that will work and feed the hungry. I am asking. What is the kind, gentle, considerate way to rid this country and any others that wish to solve a huge problem, to nip this crap in the "leaf"? Come on people. Think. Are there really any smokers that are informed completely that would still chose to smoke if they had all the information? I would like to chat with them if they exist. Or is it really that tobacco product users are misinformed and unable to quit because of the addictive quality and cost of stopping? Quit defending a wrong. Solve 1 problem at at time or?

We don't all agree on the war, but maybe we can all agree on showing the troops that we care what happens to them and think about more than our own selfish little lives or political differences. We may not agree on why they were sent, but maybe we can agree they are there for us. Send a message of gratitude to our troops by responding to this Q, by posting on your profile or webpage, by sending a care package or letter to our soldiers and/or by giving back to the injured. I bow my head to the injured and dead, and to those who fight for all of us, Thank You.

For any North Americans out there, do you feel that we have forgotten how to fight for freedom or political change in our own countries?
Is it possible that living in relative peace and luxury for so long has made us complacent? Any solutions?

I can't find the law in the US tax code that says we have to pay income tax. I believe it's blatently Unconstitutional and that the government has been robbing us of our money for yours. Am I right? Also, I've heard that this money they collect from income tax just goes to pay off the interest that comes with every dollar loaned to the government by the federal reserve. Is this how the money is being spent?

Beside differences on the major issues of today
This punch line sums it up

Al Gore, Bill and Hillary Clinton all die on the same day, and head for judgment. God addresses Al first. "Al, what do you believe in?"
Al replies: "Well, I believe that I won that election, but that it was Your will that I did not serve. And I've come to understand that now." God thinks for a second and says: "Very good. Come and sit at my left."


God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?"
Bill replies: "I believe in forgiveness. I've sinned but I've never held a grudge against my fellow man, and I hope no grudges are held against me." God thinks for a second and says: "You are forgiven, my son. Come and Sit at my right."


Then God addresses Hillary. "Hillary, what do you believe in?"
She replies: "I believe you're in my chair."

do you think this is a good excuse that the people shouldn't take the blame for the behavior of the government, when the government was elected by the very people, and the people gladly support this government?

Also, these PEOPLE are more likely to defend the evil behavior of the government whenever their government faces criticism?

An example of this was a protest that took place yesterday in my home town (Olympia, WA) where close to 200 activists protested the unloading of military cargo at the port.

Here's the link to the article covering it including a video clip: http://www.theolympian.com/570/story/264386.html

My question is that even though it's great to see a relatively large turnout for events such as this, what factors must come into play to engage Joe Lunchpale and Jane Soccermom instead of just those who are already involved?
