why can't you be what you want???? the government doesn't dictate who i am as long as i'm not committing crimes. regardless of what you think of bush or the people in congress that did nothing ...you are right ...the PEOPLE should own up

are you telling me the people in congress weren't voted in by the people???? how is it naive to expect people to do their jobs (regardless of dem or rep) and if the people don't like something to do something about it?

You are absolutely right! Remember the phrase... "United we stand..divided we fall!" Our own government and the "power that be (the money that runs things) keeps our nation divided, has never truly attempted to fix our edcation system (because lower IQs ask less questions and are easier to lead) and what was once a great nation is about to fall.

And as you clearly said, and I and many other well knowns )like Glenn Beck) have directly said..the American people have done this to themselves (pointing out you saying Americans are apathetic..which is TOTALLY TRUE!)

My cousin put up a post in another thread about "self sufficientcy". he made a good illustration at the end of his last post.. I think was last post, may not be now.

But its was how a town came together and everyone worked together for a common cause and goal. And when everyone pitched in, a monumental task was reduces to an extremely simple solution.

I applaud your stand! Now bottle it, sell it and lets get the rest of America off thier asses so we can take our country back!
