Civic Participation

Lately I've been hearing so much fighting between the parties about who's right and who's wrong. Democrats, being the fans of democracy that they are, have voiced a sentiment that they want the republican party disbanded. How can we call ourselves a democracy if we can in good conscience rid ourselves of one party over another??

I have to come up with some way of making people feel really important for throwing a birthday party for a member of congress--something "official-like." It's a certificate of recognition for_____, fill in the blank...not "throwing a good birthday party." Ugh. Help!

This is for LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS! Any illegals who choose to answer will not be given response, since you have NO RIGHTS! I know I am going to really piss some people off here, but it's about damn time. Smokescreen to cover the problems we face in Iraq? Well, yes I am sure the Bush administration would love to throw us all off the subject of the " Fine mess" he got us into!
I could care less about Bush and his guys trying to thwart the American public. Those of us who are educated and have military family members in Iraq know the score.
This is a homefront issue, it's been happening for yrs and yrs . Yes that much is true. Now tho we are seeing the repercutions of our laxness tenfold! Our very livelyhood is threatened by illegals. Just try and get a job in Joliet IL. and not speak spanish!
Where are our Marchers? I don't care what color, what race or religion. If you are a true citizen, why are you not hollering as loudly as those who are not? Do you not care? Lets March!

I'm trying to find a way to write a letter to the President of the US because I am very upset and disappointed with how he handles Science in the US. If you can help me with this, I will greatly appreciate it.

ARE THE CLERGY TODAY SUPPORTING THE RIGHT GOVERNMENT?


“And in the days of those kings (rulers today) the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;” (Dan. 2:44)

ARE THE EDUCATED RULERS TODAY REALLY WISE?

“Let no one be seducing himself: If anyone among YOU thinks he is wise in this system of things, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: “He catches the wise in their own cunning.” And again: “Jehovah knows that the reasonings of the wise men are futile.” (1 Cor. 3:18-20)

IF SO WHY THE DISUNITY AND NOT PEACE AND SECURITY THE UNITED NATIONS IS SET UP TO BRING?

I'm especially interested in those between the ages of 21-30. If you haven't yet voted (weren't old enough before) do you plan to vote in the next election?

I think we have a *** load of laws for a country that is supposed to be free. I am getting tired of the government telling us we cannot do this or that. Is not that the reason why this country was created? To be freed from controlling dictatorship and persecution. Now thats what we seem to have become it really is a crying shame. The government does not know everybodies "best interest" so why do they pass laws for that sake? I know some countries have it a lot worse but I think thats where America is headed. It just a matter of time before "our administration" points the gun to our heads and we have to jump ship.
One Love to everybody that feels me on this.

It has been suggested that we should not just vote for one person for President, but be able to rank our top several choices. This way, we would avoid the Nader effect where the votes of like-minded people are split between several candidates. Voters would no longer feel like they had to pick between one of two likely winners, and could instead vote for someone who they really agreed with first, and then one of the likely winners a little lower on their list.

Who would support this, and do you know why it's not more popular?

I read on here day after day about how people bi tch and complain about bush, or how they hate america, or so on.... My question is how many of you have been to a country outside of america and can honestly say its better than what we have here! We have way more freedom than anyone gives us credit for! I mean if i want to drive to california today i can no questions asked? If i want to drink, do drugs, so on its my choice, Not all choices are legal but you have choices!!! There are so many countries that have it so much worse off than we do? so why do so many people compain about it? I mean i understand you may not aggree with The president, but does that give you the right to complain about it? I mean its not like he sits in a chair and decides what goes on, thats why there is a structure that takes care of it? And its not like he can control things like hurricanes, or terriost.. I am not saying hes the best pres by anymeans, but i am also saying i wouldn't of bitched even if careywon

John & Marsha decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their eight-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a popsicle, and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation. "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he shouted.

A few moments passed. "An ambulance just drove by."

A few moments later, "Looks like the Anderson's have company," he called out.

"Matt is riding a new bike."

"The Coopers are having sex!"

Startled, Mom and Dad shot up in bed. Dad cautiously asked, "How do you know they are having sex?"

"Jimmy Cooper is standing out on his balcony with a popsicle, too.”

Some argue that if you don't vote, you can't complain. Some counter by saying "I CHOSE not to vote." I'm interested in your sincere thoughts on this, considering countries around the world where people will travel miles and risk their lives to vote, while we in the USA produce such small voter turnout numbers. Thank you.

Is Sport hysteria encouraged by governments to take the general public's mind off the terrible wars and injustices perpertrated by callous and greedy governments? (George Orwell predicted this in 1984)

If no, is it everything OK with American democracy? Or uniformity of opinions means something different in this big country?

Such protests happened a number of countries, including Israel itself. I do not know, how many of you had information about them.

I'm 44 and still live with my parents. I'm unemployed because I haven't decided what to do yet. The only thing I like on T.V. is cartoons and video games.

Please...no smart answers....I'm desperate and I have very, very sensitive feelings. My personality is extremely fragile.
