I'll add to your rant by saying that I'd love to see individuals become more responsible, not just candidates. What could be better for our country, or for humanity as a whole, than for people to take control of their own selves, their education, their drug intake, their religion?Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189348909598343019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701505747102838690.post-81746126412754147322012-01-17T18:08:35.507-05:002012-01-17T18:08:35.507-05:00The ship is sinking, but when was the last time we...The ship is sinking, but when was the last time we ever saw someone at the helm? A lot of finger pointing and nobody wants to take the wheel. It's about time we all stop tip-toeing around the issues and go for the throat. <br /><br />People in this country need to realize that this whole, "Well, what's my vote going to do?" or "We can't change it." attitude need to be ground up and fed to the pigs who think we're not the ones in charge. Government needs to learn who they work for again.<br /><br />And, while were at it, extremism on either side needs to be cut off with exact precision. The left and the right are so far apart, there's a chasm in the middle where the logical and coherent disappear. Our major issues in the U.S. are not who's marrying who or who mentions God the most in their campaign. <br /><br />We need REAL candidates who are going to shape up our education system, do away with lobbiests, stop engaging in ridiculous wars including but not limited to the war on drugs, terrorism and other religions that aren't Christian.<br /><br />We need to return to and embrace a TRUE seperation of church and state and stop muddling the words of our founders to fit our own beliefs which is what every candidate running for office has been doing right before our eyes for years now.<br /><br />The Constitution has been raped by the same people who vow to uphold its "true" meaning. That "true" meaning is whatever they feel fits them better.<br /><br />Well, I digress. And I believe I just ranted like a lunatic, but there you have it.<br /><br />Good post and an idea we must all ponder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07432316418679632846noreply@blogger.com
