Civic Participation

I lean to the Conservative side, but I know where I draw the line. I have opinions about social issues like the environment that might not fall in line with what people like.. well, you... would think about a Conservative.

My question to you is this... Where do you draw the line? In which areas do you part ways with many of your liberal brethren... at least as far as Conservatives would consider it a "liberal area" of thought?

I also submit that if you have NO areas where you differ from the extreme left liberal areas of thinking, you are part of the problem and not the solution. The middle is where things will be accomplished.

Political parties, affiliations and groups emerge at a drop of a hat, at every level, be it in Schools, Colleges, Societies, States or the Country. People associated with each, are not able to look beyond the petty aim of making their respective outfit succeed, not on their own merits, but by highlighting the weaknesses of others. Nation-Building certainly does not figure in their scheme of thoughts. Then, why not do away with this "multi-party-system" and introduce a "two-party-system", as is, in most of the developed countries of the World. As a prelude to any Elections, have debates on various burning issues organized and be telecast and broadcast the World over. Have some basic qualitative requirement laid down for people to hold any political appointment, which should be in consonance with the authority that it commands. India will become more democratic in all aspects. Efforts will be channelized more towards patriotic values, instead of being restricted to personal/selfish gains

Since Americans have special days set aside for special events such as Vetrans Day, President's Day and Martin Luther King day, does anyone else believe it would only be proper to set aside the days for the birthdays of two very special men. Abramham Lincoln, who freed the slaves, and John F. Kennedy for the signing of the Civil Rights Bill?

Everyone remembers Dr. Martin Luther King who was great, but what about the men who were instrumental at making that dream come true? Wouldn't it be nice to show some extra respect for them as well?

1. Allows members to rank political issues in order of importance.
2. Allows members to ask questions on political issues of candidates for public office in the order of importance they ranked them.
3. Allows members to create different questionnaires for local, state and federal candidates and does this based on the political subdivision or jurisdiction you live in. For example: only members who live in New York City would be allowed to create that local municipal questionnaire and only members who are residents of New Mexico would be allowed to create that state questionnaire.
5. Does this in a non-partisan way so that it is objective and allows each side to be presented. Including third party and independents.
4. Retrieves candidate responses and posts them, without editing, online in one website so the public can have one objective source for finding out where candidates stand on the issues.

Can India eradicate poverty?
Will India's economic boom help the poor?

India is an economic miracle. With growth rates of nearly 10% a year the country is becoming richer than ever before. But while the burgeoning middle class has more money to spend, most Indians still live in desperate poverty.

UN statistics show that 700 million Indians live on less that $2 a day and a fifth of children don't go to school. Although some of these people are benefiting from the boom, income gaps are widening fast. And with a rapidly growing population, the economy has to keep growing for society to simply stand still.

Can everyone benefit from India's boom? Does the government have the right policies to tackle poverty? Is Indian society concerned with the poor? What are your experiences?

For every "red" item that was bought, some of the money would go to fight AIDS in Africa (and line Bono's pocket as an "administrative fee").

They had a few huge billboards in Boston and a few other cities. It was on the news.

I guess they didn't sell well enough, because I keep seeing commercials for "red" cellphones....but they're for "valentines day."

Have you noticed this?

I see two reasons: 1. To force others to live their lives in a way that the voter deems 'proper' or right; and 2. To get 'free' stuff (ex. welfare and other subsidies) from the government at the expense of someone else.

Are there any others?

Corruption begins because the corrupt ones don't have any fear of getting caught nor is anything done so that they along with their family feels embarrsed or ashamed in front of the society. What steps should be taken so that before accepting a bribe the officer would think a hundred times. What can a common man do at that very moment to punish the corrupt officer or politician so that the whole world knows it?
