What is most important is the attempt to find a way to encourage all Americans the right to live and succeed as we wish to. The sad thing lately is that we continually challenge those Americans who do not fit in our circle of the world or our beliefs. America is so diverse that we cannot or will not change the basic beliefs we share and we need to eliminate areas of the government that separate us instead of coagulate us.

It is extremely important; sadly, it's probably not going to happen, not entirely, anyway. The best we can hope for is to boot them out of the White House, and the majority of our Governor's Mansions, as well as majorities in the federal House and Senate. But they will still be around. Our best hope is for their children to get an education.

Without a doubt.... I not only want the ignorant ones out of government but the smart ones as well --- even more so.
It's my opinion that the best government possible is one that is bound to it's own highest notion of truthfulness. I have not experienced this unbiased objective truthfulness being displayed on the part of any god-based religion --- ever. Religions need to be not only separated from government but entirely without representation or special consideration. I concede the right of religions to exist but I do not and will not yield any right to their leadership nor to their assumed posture to stand apart as special and above the law.

Yes, but it's equally important to elect people who have proper qualifications -- e.g., get educators on school boards, not just retired businessmen or underemployed housewives.
And don't let idiots into government, either, either by election or appointment. I understand that a dentist was appointed to head up the Texas state board of education -- I believe his name is McLeroy -- and he's a creationist. Governors have to learn that people won't put up with such foolishness.
(No offense intended, gorgeous.)

Yes. I'd also like it if the pervading mentality in advertising were about stimulating and encouraging people to MAKE things, rather than just BUY things. To produce, serve, and work, rather than to just enjoy movies, cell phones, and shopping. We are an extremely spoiled, decadent, and declining culture. Everyone wants to be a celebrity, but no one wants to build the TV cameras.

Every election, I do my utmost to facilitate that. In my entire life, I've only voted for one candidate for any office with an "R" after his name. That was a local candidate who I'd met and spoken with and who I felt was a good, smart, conscientious man.

Yeah. Amen to that. I'm tired of religion being factor. I am a christian, but I don't care if my leader is or isn't. I want to know if they are going to keep more of us from dying needlessly. In every way, the war, healthcare, all that jazz.

I'm starting to be seriously concerned about it, yes. Enough so that folks like Romney will NOT get my vote.

Incredibly important. I'd like to live out the next 60-70 years of my life without whackos like Huckabee involved in our government. And that's not even bringing up the fact that our current president is allowing thousands of people to die because his god told him to go to war.
