JOHN....
...oops there i made a booboo last reply... ...US should have 2 dots in it.. ....U.S. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ all my thoughts are below: here's what Bud sees. we want more than we need...we consume what we want and toss the rest. we claim since it's MY money by golly i can pay for it so i'll git what i want... blah blah blah.. that's fine when you have enough room....and enough goodies. we were once a vast nation here....and few people.... we are still a purty good size, but we have millions of acres of unusable land for practical purposes. try finding a working farm in greenville county..there's a few years ago we established cities and screamed Growth is best and c'mon down....thangs are real good here!!...you'll love it...we'll be friends and neighbors!!...lol small town became cities...then they got bigger.. prosperity breeds population growth.. too many people eventually choke the prosperity... too many people need cheaper and more amounts of products to consume... china became a part of the equation....years ago....we need China NOW. but we also are seeing the downside of that....lost jobs. fast forward to today: the immigrants coming here clearly prove to us how this works... it's NOT finite and it constantly changes.. bottom line in my eyes ~~~> it all revolves around too many humans.. so try as we do, we can no longer keep up within our borders. our government NO longer works for our needs. it's bigger than we can afford...and growing...and it MUST be reduced in size. we are kidding ourselves to believe we can help the entire world. that may have been true decades ago, but as i said...the situation constantly changes. for us to survive i honestly believe we need to isolate ourselves as best we can and RE-GROUP...starting with our govt. the people who came here from other countries before me and you we born, saw these things themselves in their own coutries. they skipped every step i have mentioned.. ....the simply moved HERE and started over.... it worked good then but can't now. WE as a nation have no where to go. so my answers are above... they may sound stupid to most but not to me. my answers don't Include any OTHER nations and their civil wars right now. terrorism? sounds good when we say Go There and Fight Before blah blah blah happens here. that sounds good but it's really not economically beneficial... too much money and too many lives. me... you... moonie and all those living here NOW ~~> MUST COME FIRST.. WE must be Priority ONE or it will continue to get worse.... bud |

I must say that I agree with much of your post. What must the American people do to Change this? How do we reform Govt? How do we make the American People 1st priority? I think that the US Govt. is out of touch with the American People Both Parties. Why is it that a Common Joe who works for a living can not be elected to any office? Is it because voters are misinformed Dont Care or want to keep the status quo and then complain about it? Is it about promises and deception? The American People are Screaming and the Govt is not paying attention. My Goal is to make change starting in my own hometown then onto the County and then the State of NC and finnaly Washington with my vote. And I hope that Millions of other Voters will say we need to get rid of lifetime politicians and cleanup the Corruption and get back to the basics of what made this Country Great Get back to a Manufacturing Economy instead of a service related Economy which has proved to be a disaster. Live within our means and not live in a fake or dream world only to have the rug pulled out from underneath you. We need Politicians who are going to say no to special intrest and Lobbyist. I was in the Barber shop this Morning and an old white headed fellow said this I think the American people need to have their own Lobbyist if ea American would Contribute 1.00 we could run the Lobbist and special intrest off the hill Not sure about that but it may be an IDEA!!!!! We the people need to take back our Govt. JMO I am so sick of the Media to include Fox as well. The American people are caught in the Middle. Families are hurting literaly going hungry. Jobs are scarce and no one is listening. I have always tried to be a peaceful person and at 44 years old the future for my son and age group look pretty bleak. So whats the Solution I dont think a Band Aid is the Answer that has been used much to long!!!! Last edited by Highrpms; 11-17-2009 at 02:02 PM. |

Blow up the TV,
Move to the country, Have a lot of children, Build yourself a home. Try to find Jesus, On your own....... I'm paraphrasing here, & I can't even remember who sang these lyrics. John Prine, maybe. |
