Many people have been saying that illegal drugs should be made legal because this would make their value go way down and ruin the drug dealers. Sure it sounds like a good idea; however this idea is not thought all the way through. If illegal drugs were made legal, the drug dealers would have to get their money in another way. Remember that most dealers are street smart not school smart. This means that most drug dealers would get new jobs as bank robbers or scam artists. This would be disasterious because then inocent people would be getting hurt instead of the pot heads who buy the drugs. I say, let drug dealers work togeather with drug attics and make money that way instead of allowing dealers to get money in an even more dirty way.

There are people in America who want it to become a communist country yet they will not leave to even visit a communist country.

I have been to China, Russia and Cuba. I do not want to live like that.

Do you know why they built the Berlin wall? It wasn't because they wanted to keep the capitalists out.

So come on people, do you really think communism is that great? How about taking a sabbatical, say six months, to live in a communist country. A first hand perspective might be eye opening.

Or say try Iran or Venezuela, I hear they have socialist governments as well.

So let me see if I get this, people who want communism will not leave America to get a first hand experience yet they want America to become communist. This is really illogical.

certainly not WWI. The party was as good as over by the time we got there.
WWII, for sure, and Hitler, Mussolini and the rest of the Fascists found out the hard way.
Korea? the fact there is a country called "NORTH Korea" speaks volumes.
How about Cuba????? there sits Castro 90 miles off of our coast, outlasting every American president since Ike.
Vietnam??? did you forget about the fall of Saigon? if that wasn't running, what do you call it????
how about Iran during the hostage crisis??? HELLO??
and I won't even bring up Saddam, who was left INTACT after the first waste of taxpayers money in Iraq.

so...where are those colors NOT running?

Mass exodus, mass suicide, mass rioting, mass extinction, mass acceleration, or will they simply melt into the countryside and carry on their insurgency?

It is worth noting that this country was founded by dissenters. The fact that we have people saying "If you don't like it then leave!" is very disheartening. The implication behind the statement is "If you don't like some of the goings-on in America, then you are unpatriotic and therefore should leave". I love my country and would happily lay down my life defending it. But my political beliefs veer toward the Jeffersonian, and I don't believe in pledging allegiance to any flag and "to the government for which it stands". I do not believe in the Leviathan our bureaucracy has become, or in its politicians and their lies. Nor do I believe in God, which is also my right. My plan is not to leave, but to work within the system to affect positive change.
I am hoping for a constructive and intelligent discussion.

It's my understanding that Bush's tax cuts in many respects only helped wealthy people in that the cut was so small, only wealthy people would have been helped -- as poor people don't have to pay income tax anyway. How do conservatives respond to this?

Actually, the question should be, "Why did we trust our country and economy to two men who directly profit from shifts upward in the cost of fuel?". I used to be a Bush fan until it became obvious they are not in this for OUR interest but in their own.

"If the United States is to maintain its preeminence – and the military revolution now underway is already an American-led revolution – the Pentagon must begin in earnest to transform U.S. military forces. ... the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor."

Who gained the most from 9/11? honestly?

terrorists: They instilled fear in americans.....um....please add to this in your response

U.S. gov't/global elite: Justification for wars in the middle-east (OIL). the patriot act (which heavily infringes upon OUR bill of rights).

If our gov't asked to put cameras on all our residential streets to watch for terrorists, how many of you would be ok with that?
1984 anyone?

I don't claim to know the truth about 9/11, but having done my OWN research, i can not believe the official story of 911

The word religion comes from the greek religos which means "to come from"..

Where did humans come from? The Earth? Or Devine creationalism? Which is more likely?

Should people who believe in evolution actually be worshiping the Earth?

The Native American tribes of North America all had a certain reverence for the Earth. It gave them life, food, clothes,.. Just as it does us.. But we have confused this with organized religion that is usually forced on children, the poor, etc..

Shouldn't we all care a little more about the Earth? Isn't it where we came from? Where we will return to? Where we get our food, clothes, shelter? Don't we depend on it for everything? Isn't it hubric to disease it the way we have?
