Politics - 15 August 2007

Examples that come to my mind are George Mitchell and Al Gore, or Newt Gingrich from the conservatives.

We have a LOT of shootings and killings and such right here at home in our inner cities EVERY DAY! Why don't they care about AMERICAN kids getting shot when a drug deal goes bad and shots ring out all over?

What if there were no Political Parties but instead just candidates who were elected by their stance on issues that the citizens are interested in, the candidate's own history instead of their Party's, their own decisions and past votes, etc. Do we still need Republican and Democratic Parties to run the government? What about all of the other Political Parties that go unrecognized?

How can we make it a fairer campaign where all issues of importance are responded to by all candidates - not just those who pay the media to cover all of their stories and ask them more questions than the others during a debate. When will fair elections begin? Ever?

(a) Allocating rewards irrespective of merit is a prerequisite for meritocracy, otherwise environments cannot be equalized;

(b) allocating rewards according to merit is a prerequisite for meritocracy, otherwise people cannot be stratified by wealth and status;

(c) therefore, a class-stratified meritocracy is impossible.

.. the person who is calling for higher taxes to work harder to support themselves.

This is an important issues in America.

Do you think more people should be encouraged to work harder instead of asking everyone else who does work hard to give them more money?

Seriously, there is no centralized leadership in Iraq so we've created a vacuum by taking Hussein out. Unless the country is partitioned, only another ruthless dictator will control this country.

There have been several on YA ask the question, "Would you give up freedom for security?" Usually they are they are trying to make the point that we should NEVER give up freedom. Well, since another fatal car accident has happened involving someone text-messaging while driving, lawmakers are thinking of making it illegal to text while driving. Do you think these people should give up their freedom to text...simply for safety reasons?

Environmentalists, with the help of politicians and other government officials, have an agenda that has cost thousands of American lives.

In the wake of Hurricane Betsy, which struck New Orleans in 1965, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed building flood gates on Lake Pontchartrain, like those in the Netherlands that protect cities from North Sea storms. In 1977, the gates were about to be built, but the Environmental Defense Fund and Save Our Wetlands sought a court injunction to block the project.

According to John Berlau's recent book, "Eco-Freaks: Environmentalism is Hazardous to Your Health," U.S. Attorney Gerald Gallinghouse told the court that not building the gates could kill thousands of New Orleanians. Judge Charles Schwartz issued the injunction despite the evidence refuting claims of environmental damage.

In 2001, thousands of Americans perished in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. In the early 1970s, when the World Trade Center complex was built, the asbestos scare had just begun. The builders planned to use AsbestoSpray, a flame retardant that adhered to steel. The New York Port of Authority caved in to the environmentalists' asbestos scare and denied its use. An inferior substitute was used as fireproofing.

I guess I don't fit any label. I'm not judgemental. I'm a little progressive in my thinking but I have morally conservative values on many things. What are you and have you always been "conservative" or "liberal?" And do you think that Republican means "conservative" and Democrat means "liberal?" BECAUSE I strongly disagree! Its just not always true.

I'm all over the place with this question but you get the jist. Labels are so misleading.
