I like this "common sence" even better

"PERHAPS the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. 1
As a long and violent abuse of power, is generally the Means of calling the right of it in question (and in Matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the Sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry) and as the King of England hath undertaken in his own Right, to support the Parliament in what he calls Theirs, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpations of either. 2
In the following sheets, the author hath studiously avoided every thing which is personal among ourselves. Compliments as well as censure to individuals make no part thereof. The wise, and the worthy, need not the triumph of a pamphlet; and those whose sentiments are injudicious, or unfriendly, will cease of themselves unless too much pains are bestowed upon their conversion. 3
The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Many circumstances have, and will arise, which are not local, but universal, and through which the principles of all Lovers of Mankind are affected, and in the Event of which, their Affections are interested. The laying of a Country desolate with Fire and Sword, declaring War against the natural rights of all Mankind, and extirpating the Defenders thereof from the Face of the Earth, is the Concern of every Man to whom Nature hath given the Power of feeling; of which Class, regardless of Party Censure, is the AUTHOR 4

P. S. The Publication of this new Edition hath been delayed, with a View of taking notice (had it been necessary) of any Attempt to refute the Doctrine of Independance: As no Answer hath yet appeared, it is now presumed that none will, the Time needful for getting such a Performance ready for the Public being considerably past. 5
Who the Author of this Production is, is wholly unnecessary to the Public, as the Object for Attention is the Doctrine itself, not the Man. Yet it may not be unnecessary to say, That he is unconnected with any Party, and under no sort of Influence public or private, but the influence of reason and principle. Philadelphia, February 14, 1776"

Answer 3

Heck, a couple of months ago it was 58%. Maybe the ROI is not meeting expectations. Its pretty sad that part of what is coming out of the White House is criticism of those who call the war in Iraq a civil war. If ever the nation needed rose colored glasses...

Answer 4

I believe the majority of Americans are against the Iraq War because there were llegitimate reasons for launching war, the 2,887 U.S. military deaths (as of Dec. 2), the $500 Billion price tag (estimated $2 trillion considering long-term for health & recovery of soldiers, etc), the war is not related to fighting terrorism, and a lack of global support and alienation of foreign nations including allies.

Answer 5

Because the mainstream media is trying their utmost to turn this into Vietnam by showing only negative images of Iraq. You have to remember that the media is wholly owned and operated by democrats. Besides Fox News which is a cable channel. But the mainstream media including print and internet is all left leaning liberal biased and against this war. So people are overwhelmingly bombarded with negative images of it. That and I believe americans are afraid and peaceful. This war will not end by pulling out of Iraq sadly. That is the big lie being sold to the american populace. This isn't Vietnam.

Answer 6

"Godwillco" strangest spelling I've seen in a long time, but I agree with you,I Think.

"Alaskin" had an interesting comment about the ownership of the media. He says the Dems. & left wingers supposedly. Usually ppl , if they don't agree with the press blame it on , the ever convienient whipping boy, the Jewish.

Answer 7

Because we have not caught or killed the top Al qaieda people...Now we gave Al qaieda a new training ground (Iraq)...We destroyed the lives of millions of Iraqis...Al qaieda is not the only terrorist group in Iraq killing our troops.. and ever since the war started it new Islamist groups have been formed...OHHyea no WMD's, rich uranium,yellow cake,aluminum tubes from Africa..ETC ETC.....
