How do we fix this!?!?!?! I'm done with Congress!

[ragecage]

I have had the same frustrations for a long time, thats why I vote outside the two party system when I can, or like dude said, vote out the incumbent. Donate to the 3rd party but it still isnt enough. I think Dice was on to something about a new leader that thinks outside the box, or at least one that can preserve the principles that founded America that can also evoke the same passion and desire out of us that MLK did.

There may come a time when the majority will feel this way, and basically overthrow those corrupted officials and I do believe the government is on that path.

QUESTION: How do we fix this!?!?!?!


ANSWER:

The only way to seriously make change is to rise up and demand it.

thomas jefferson was so fu(king brilliant.

He was. It's a shame that his thoughts have been forgotten and/or distorted by a large segment of the population.

How was Thomas Jefferson forgotten or distorted today?

How can we expect our Government to fix a problem that requires money to do do? With the health insurance they already provide for the elderly and disabled there is not enough money to run it for the next 35-40 years or so.

What do you expect? The mainstream media is just a mouthpiece for the government.

Agreed!

If they stopped bailing out the auto industry, the banks, the people who run their businesses poorly, than that money could be sunk where it is needed: healthcare!

No the War of 1812...what were we thinking?

obviously we weren't

[BINGLEBOP]

I agree... "Lord Of War" wasn't that good of a movie.

let me post this in its proper place now;

(oh, and sorry bingle for letting your plan be known)

Whats the definition of pointless here?

If for example theres evidence that says binglebop is going to rob a bank, and take many hostages in the process. Much of the local intelligence says as such, much of the calls made to other regions confirm this evidence....and the local police decide to obtain state police assistance and set up a large scale sting to stop this threat. The local public is made aware of this issue and LARGELY SUPPORT IT, as does the mayor..town council, local businesses, pretty much all of the community. In addition, all of these people AGREE that the threat is significant enough to demand this action, EVEN if it turns out the evidence is proved wrong.

Was it pointless to take this course of action after we learn the evidence was wrong and public support for it no longer exists?

If they arrest Bingle's neighbor instead, yes
