Foriegn Policy - I would like to see all our troops brought home from everywhere Cutting back on government spending - With the troops home we can cut the department of homeland security. Cut the department of education to let schools evolve to make the most of an education. The department of energy i swear is making us more dependent on oil. Abolish it, and let future companies pursue their own path to a new energy. With HMO abolished cost of healthcare would greatly decrease. They don't allow practice of cheap, noninvasive procedures that are proven to do the same job as prescription drugs, without side effects. With the money freed up from cutting programs and no longer being the world police, we take half, and put it on our deficit, and give the other half back to tax payers...  Im speechless Im not agreeing or disagreeing,I just don't know what to say.
I am merely restating the plans of the man i voted for...  Oh, I thought you had came up with that yourself I was impressed.A person would have to put a lot of thought into coming up with something like that.

Let's see... criminal justice system... taxes.. education.. health care.. the economy - all worthy endeavors, granted. From whence to all of these things get born? Why, Parents! If it were not for the parents of this society who procreate indiscriminately, want to be their child's FRIEND instead of the PARENT, give the child over to the first system of the "other" who comes along [day care, the streets, schools, courts, etc.] that is willing to take over the tough job of being a real parent.... a lot of these "issues" would take care of their selves. Instead of looking at what has "become" of our society, perhaps we should look at what has caused our society to get that way in the first place. Also... as an FYI... I work in an urban HS - I see what our future is, everyday - and I see the people who make it this way [parents]. You can't fix a problem when you're trying to repair the results of the issue - you have to fix the cause, before you can address the result. IMHO. yes well I'm all for parents to raise their children in admonision to grow up with self respect & disciplines that will carry them & protect them for the rest of their lives. I have to say tho...a loose society doen't make it easy for parents either. The sexual revolution etc etc also contributes to desensitizing kids into doing things they should not be doing. There is also too much violence on TV as well. What about drugs on the street? Something should be done about the external influences as well. |

Like you said, desensitizing is a main problem. My children's school is one of the few that still have consequence for action at the elementary level. Hate to mention it, but the "no child left behind" had quite a bit to do with the problems we are having with our education. Test scores may be higher, but now we don't even know if those high test scores were really earned or not. Though I agree that children should have the ability to learn and given all the resources to do the best they can, I don't think the way to pass a child through school is to boost test scores (not because the children necessarily did better) and to let children slip through even when they don't pass a class.

Change begins with you.
You can't expect the government to do everything. It's just disappointing that they are bailing out big corporations before even considering the hard working poor and middle class, who play by the rules and get shafted anyway. |

maybe when people in North America start looking at issues like housing, education, healtcare, and a dignified standard of living for all as RIGHTS instead of PRIVILEDGES then you really will see some fundamental changes in your country. 
Well, perhaps when our Constitution views all of those things as rights there will be some legislation behind them. We have very few "rights" in our nation and I am thankful for that every day. That allows me the opportunity to go out and earn the rest. -Drew |

Change definitely begins with the individual. Kennedy was onto something when he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

It shows who our congress for the most part, and our new president, as well as the former president, really supports. It's all about corporations. Not the little ones, but the huge pharmacutical companies, and a small handful of multibillion dollar businesses. This is why i preach cutting back on our government. Government expansion is not a good thing... |

I kills me that they keep bailing out the wealthy & the banks. It sickens me... |

Humanity... what are you willing to do for ALL. I am willing to face adolescents everyday who come to school hungry, angry, illiterate, rude, disrespectful, and crying out for someone who cares enough to love them anyway. It might not be much to some, but it means the world to them. |

Civics aren't taught in school because politicians really don't want an informed and active electorate.
Oh and because some people are too stupid to realize you can teach children the processes of government without being political. So they freak out about the children being indoctrinated and opt for total ignorance of the process. That's evident on these boards. |
