For ex...Have a secure web site, whereby congress could post the major bills or laws they have agreed on....

Then the constituents could vote on it using their account ID....only once..

Seems like it would give voters back some power.

Wouldn't this eliminate lobbying or at least reform it.

Evolution states that man and all other primates evolved from a common ancestor, not that man was at one point a chimpanzee. Evolution also says nothing about whether or not evolution was planned by god and leaves that possibility open to religious interpretation.

Do those same Americans not believe in dinosaurs? I do not recall hearing about them in the bible. What about handguns? Are those just a myth the nonbelievers came up with to lead us from the path of righteousness?

The Plan!


Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York" in Arabic.


You gotta love Robin Williams......Leave it to him to come up with the perfect plan...Hard to argue with this logic!

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good 'ole' boys", we will never "interfere" again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!!


4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?

I think it's in some politicians' interests to discourage people from getting out to vote - our apathy and disgust helps them.

Then again, if you truly feel "the system is rigged," then isn't it hypocritical to vote at all?

I dunno. The system is not perfect, and needs improvement, but why do so many appear to have given up?

I wonder if people will say the same things after the elections as they say now, depending on whether or not they like the outcome.

Please keep your answers focused on Bush. Not Clinton. Not Pelosi or anyone else in government. I'm asking only about George W Bush, about decisions or policies of his that you are feel are wrong or inconsistant with your conservative values (if you are a conservative).

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the world is halfway to reaching the nightmare hellish prediciton of 1984. You still have a majority of the world who are open minded! If you could create a check list of procedures that the current government (any country) is following, what would they be? and what country is it being done in.

IE:
phase ?: Control what should be taught in public schools. (Australia)
Phase/stage ?: Make the poor even poorer and uneducated for 100% compliance. (Philippines)

I am in no means wanting to offend others. G. Orwell has got his prediction dead on with current world affairs. 1984 is only a book. What are real world examples happening now?
