Civic Participation

the way the world is going, we can't HURT anyones feelings. I understand why, but its getting really weird and we all know it. it makes me sick - alittle bit offensive behavior or verbage is great. -------also, how many of you out there agree or disagree with me and why. -political correctness is wrong in my book. ----------------ie: I hate that people want to say "happy holiday" instead of "merry xmas" ---and some people or religions get their "feelings" hurt-----screw them

Considering that most of the present hydo-electric Dams on the Columbia river as well as Grand Collee Dam, were built by the people, for the people, and than de-regutated to inspire competitive pricing, and profit for a few, should we regain control again, to keep corporations from putting profit over the needs of small bussiness, and the general population. And insure proper maintainance of our infrastucture, as well as fair accsess to energy?

As Ms. Rice spoke of an urgent and enduring peace out of the other side of her mouth she helped ensure the quick delivery of US "Bunker Busters" and negotiated the postponement of any peace talks. Indigenous communities and people of color all over the world and through out time are well acquainted with ethnic hatred and the actions such double talk seek to cover up or sanitize.

Since the dawn of humanity nationalistic elitist cliques have sought the destruction of other ethnic groups. Throughout the writings of the ancient Greeks are reports of genocide-like massacres ..... which continue through the Middle Ages. European elites sought the complete extermination of our Indigenous First Nation populations here in the Western Hemisphere. In Australia, Africa, and elsewhere other indigenous populations were sometimes slated for elimination by their white "discovers" or invaders. Ethnic massacres still flourish on into the twenty-first century.

The first great genocide of our current era date back to the white-man’s hatred of America’s First Nations. The First World War saw hundreds of thousands of Armenians destroyed and for the first time such killings were called a "crime against humanity." In the Second World War, Churchill called it "a crime without a name," as Hitler undertook what he called the "final solution," reminding his generals that "nobody remembers the Armenians.".

I from New York, so when I registered to vote in NY I registered as a Democrat. Moving to Virginia, I registered to vote in Alexandria but there was no political affiliate on the voter registration paperwork I filled out. My question is, how does one go about voting in the primaries in this state?

NEW YORK - Nine days into a power outage that left thousands of homes and businesses without air conditioning, utility officials said Tuesday they still couldn't say when service would be restored to everyone.

It’s spring of 2008, and an old man approaches the White House from the park across Pennsylvania Avenue where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He speaks to the US Marine standing guard and says, "I'd like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine looks at the man and says, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here." The old man says, "Okay" and walks away.

The following day, the same man approaches the White House and says to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine again tells the man, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanks him and again, just walks away.

The third day, the same man approaches the White House and speaks to the very same Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looks at the man and says, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"

The old man looks at the Marine and says, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."

The following information is from Wikipedia. What is your opinion on it?

"Many countries have disenfranchisement of sentenced prisoners. In the United States, voting privileges are denied to prisoners by some states, but several other countries (Canada and most of the countries of the European Union) allow prisoners to vote, regardless of time served, nature of the crime, etc. Some countries (and U.S. states) also deny the right to vote to those convicted of serious crimes, even after they are released from prison. In some cases (e.g. the felony disenfranchisement laws found in many U.S. states) the denial of the right to vote is automatic on conviction of a serious criminal offence; in other cases (e.g. provisions found in many parts of continental Europe) the denial of the right to vote is an additional penalty that the court can choose to impose, over and above the penalty of imprisonment, such as in France or Germany."

I mean, come on. I look at these discussion boards and anyone who is anything right-wing gets all huffy if others are talking about the problems of this nation. Why is that? They talk of Patriotism and all that, but they sure don't mind trampling on other's Right of Free Speech. And when it comes to actual discussion, they mock, harrass, name call, and make fun of others. Half the time they can't even use proper english or spell correctly; I guess they must also be one of the lost from the "Dumbing Down of America". How is a free Republic going to survive with people like that? I bet most don't even understand basic politics besides what their talking heads tell them; that they're thinking, "republic, I thought it was a democracy!"; that they think their vote actually counts and isn't bought; and that they think their leaders are people just like them and not the rich elite. How is it people can live in such a paridigm? How can we move past these people and reclaim our Country for US?

Electronic Vote is useless because 1 program embedded in just the last 3 seconds of closing the vote can change the Results to whatever the controllers want and DIEBOLD does not allow to see their Programs..!! So the real counting of the Votes will never be visible to the voters..!
