To some extent we are all guilty of not being the citizens we are suppose to be. This society is designed to keep us too busy and distracted to participate, so we leave it up to someone else, but this is dangerous. It was natural to trust in the past, but now it has to be an informed decision. It has to become a conscious habit to slow down and see what is around us instead of reaching out for that "pie in the sky", so to speak. Be thankful for what we have, and we have to take inventory of that, see where we individually and as a family/community are, for real, then take the appropriate action for change. There are guidelines already for starting up local chapters. Did you know that instead of "town meetings" in most places, where everyone can attend and be active in local government, they are being replaced by a "board" of a few citizens making all the decisions.. |

Can I tell you that we have town meetings here and I have never been once because I just don't think I count and it wont make a difference. I think the people who run it just do what they want. I guess I should show up, be informed and but the local tv and radio until people who vote have to listen? Most people have to work and raise their children and just don't have time after laundry, cooking, shopping, home work, after school activities and so on. |

I'm about to get off topic, but here it is.
There are alot of Republicans, college Republicans, Young REpublicans, etc, etc. Its my personal opinion, and my guess that a percentage of these peoples' motivation to join Republican organizations designed to help elect their kind of candidate, is to eliminate competition in the job market. Its my guess that whenever there is a Right Wing candidate who might cut public funding, including financial programs designed to make BA degrees accessable to more people, young republicans/college republicans,any other kind of Republicans who go to College on their parents' dime, would want these types of candidates elected. Why? because the less people who can afford college, the less people who can attend, the less people who graduate, and therefore, the less competition that rich republican College students will have upon graduation. So rich college students going to school on their parents' dime, and who want to compete in the job market with as little competition as possible, would probably join a Republican organization that puts people in office that will cut college funding, and therefore, cut their competition almost in half. |

that all you(and WND) is paying attention to. They had another report a few years ago about left wing anti war protesters and environmental types being a "threat". and it was the same thing. "warning signs" and it was taken as "ZOMG! BUSH IS TEH HITLER!!!"
TITLE 13 SECTION 9 AND 214 OF US CODE. Look it up. |

Well, that theory does not totally work because you are suggesting that only Reps are rich. Last time I looked Obama, Clinton, Kennedy, Oprah, Buffet, Jay Z, PDiddy, CNN, most of hollywood are all Dems, wealthy and thier children can afford college. Personally, I would like to see education offered to everyone and not based on race or gender. I think Obama has a plan where you volunteer for serive or to a community program and you get two years of college paid for, yes? I also think that you should get education paid for and then you pay it back and have to mentor the next generation. I am not sure the stats but I heard someone say once that many people in the house and and politics and big business still have outstanding student loans and never paid them back. |

USA: you ignore the problem.
We need AFfirmative ACtion. Please, please do research as I have. If you have the wrong address you get a substandard education. The lions share of funding for schools goes to rich neighborhoods. In inner city neighborhoods, there are 6 kids to 1 textbook, math teachers who don't even have a college degree in ANY math field. AFfirmative ACtion will be needed as long as inner city schools do not get the same funding as schools in rich neighborhoods.

That has always been the case...Town meetings used to be scheduled and other activities shut down for that evening in the community to allow people to attend. It is as much a community, as an individual responsibility to make it available and functional. Time management is the key, and what are "time robbers" in our lives...this is one of them, unproductive as is TV. It removes us from real time life. |

I hear what you are saying and I totally agree that ALL people should be able to have an education at the same price. I just have an issue with you trying to suggest that the right is the only one who is rich. That would be like me saying because so many children who qualified for college money due to affirmative action rather than better grades got the education that the child who did not qualify for affirmative action but had better grades should have had. See what I mean? Every child should have an education and I like the plan that you have to volunteer and mentor to pay it back. I don't like affirmative action any more because it is just as possible to end up being unfair to any one group. I like all equal period. Maybe you get your education paid for as a teacher but you have to work so long in the inner city? |

Affirmative action means the best qualified dont get the job. Affirmative action means "White men need not apply" Affirmative action means "I dont care if you failed High School, you can go to college instead of this valedictorian" Affirmative action is reverse racism. Affirmative action needs to be done away with as it serves no purpose and isnt fair in any way. |

Seawitch when will you learn that “equal justice under the law” only applies if you fit the mold and only when the power elite decide it is time to apply it. |

You are assuming that we have reached the "Promised Land" of a perfectly colorblind society. Reality says otherwise. |

I wore you down. did I see Chavez on the news yesterday saying that he would go to war with the Honduras over this new President and the removal of the ex? Sorry but Michael Jackson seems to be dominating Fox and CNN right now and getting info on other issues is hit and miss it seems |
