Answer 2

...mmm... i don't want your points... but the question deserves an answer that is an answer for the sake of an answer....
As a senior, and still mentally functional, I'll tell you that 'change' is hard on me. I always struggle with it. America has gone through a change sense 911, and ...i am struggling with it. The thing is,.. every change eventually finds its worth, and this period in our history will no doubt find it's acceptance in our daily lives.
I have to consider constantly if i would want my ancestors to reflect on some inactivity i might have done in my lifetime to improve or better there's. And, if i ignore, or avoid, or pretend that today's troubled world would be the better off with terrorism left to proliferate, or, whether i could attempt to rectify the issues and the mentality's that perpetuate such violence, i realize i am responsible to every possible means of settlement of terrorist problems in my life time and my knowledge.
The result is, i support the principals of my government that engage terrorism, while reserving my rite to critique there efforts.

Answer 3

Worse! But, I believe that has more to do with Bush than anything else.

My reasons for thinking that are:
*All the so called safety precautions...too little, too late

*The no child left behind act...I work in schools and I've seen way too many kids who can't read on a basic 1st grade level continually moving onto the next grade each year.

*The continually rising costs of health care and insurance barely covering the costs. For those without insurance and without kids, medication is outrageously priced. And they're making it illegal to buy drugs in Canada out of greed. I just switched jobs and until I qualify for insurance in 6 months, I have to spend $ 175 on one prescrip and $288 for another. There seems to be no medical assistance whatsoever for people who barely make money...especially if those people are single and childless.

Answer 6

Its fantastically undesirable. pondering all the connections between the Bush and Cheney households and the oil organizations and their movements, its confusing for me to trust it isn't corrupt. Even ignoring that, it type of feels virtually unbelievably inept and nevertheless remarkably adept at cynically manipulating the clicking. i'm a liberal, i'm a Democrat - yet i'd were extremely joyful to vote for McCain - someone who isn't fairly attempting to divide the country to cynically administration the congress, etc. i trust that he dedicated an impeachable offence by mendacity to Congress ("all of us comprehend that Iraq has guns of mass destruction"). I say it really is impeachable because he became mendacity to Congress throughout a constitutionally required function - the State of the Union. fairly that has the rigidity of perjury! fairly perjury earlier Congress is a "intense Crime and Misdimeanor". the adult men we were given formed fairly one among this united states of america's worst 5 administrations ever.
