Answer 1

In Ancient China there was a story written about how a man can swing for stealing a belt buckle, but, if you steal the whole province you are declared Statesman of the Year. As you point out, things have not changed much in a couple of thousand years of social justice, the search for truth, or in the education of the general public. Education should be training people how to think for themselves, evaluate information, and make intelligent decisions. Sadly there has been a deliberate attempt to take that out of our schools so that we can raise generations of good corporate drones who will do what they are told and not make trouble. A tragic number of Americans cannot point out Canada on a map, don't know what kind of government we have, and don't know the difference between subjective and objective thinking. We are as a society easily vulnerable to influence and propaganda, and seem willing to fight to the death over opinions not arrived at on ones own. We can only hope that Americans will fight their way out of this trap, get smarter, and demand the same of their government, for if we don't, we will be ripe for the pickings, and smile as our once great nation is sold to the highest bidder.

Answer 2

I don't think Americans do praise democracy. I think they rely on their elected leaders to interpret the U.S. Constitution. That's not really democracy. Everyone can't just do their own thing because of the Constitution. I also think you would be complaining about some other type of artificial sweetener being used in soft drinks if the makers of diet drinks were not using aspertame. There's no proof that aspertame does cause diabetes or ulcers. I've been drinking diet drinks for years, and I've never had ulcers because of them. I am 100 percent positive that you are a liberal Democrat. Consider yourself to be in the minority because liberals really are always in the minority.

Answer 3

OMG is there a question in there somewhere? How does one go from speaking of 9/11 to aspertame?

As far as my President, the research and facts would come from history. Prior to WWII Roosevelt, Chamberlain, and Stalin all had the chance to stop nazi germany from becoming too powerful. True to the liberal agenda, instead they 'talked' to and 'negotiated' with Hitler. Chamberlain gave Hitler Chezchoslovakia, and Stalin reached a non-agression treaty with Hitler. All this 'talking' and 'negotiating' got millions of Soviets killed and millions of Europeans and Americans killed, as they sat idly by while Hitler built his massive war machine.

Now President Bush has taken the war to the enemy and prevented further attacks on US soil since 9/11. If the liberals have their way, the troops will be brought home, and we will 'talk' to and 'negotiate' with iran, north korea, and the like. Those bent on killing non-islamofascists will then begin building their war machines, just like ole Adolph did.

Those of us capable on independent thought (and dont compare islamofascism with aspertame) can only hope that the domestic terrorists (liberal leftist extremists) will be at ground zero when the attacks on US soil resume.

Answer 4

Welcome to America. Love it or leave it. (socialized education helps, with the idiocy part.)

Fact the sky is green. Fact the WTC was really destroyed by little green men. Fact they're all out to get me....Sorry, stating "Fact" before each ridiculous claim doesn't make it so.

Answer 5

Well, we elected George BUSH as president. TWICE in fact. How is that for idiocy.
