So without going on a tirade, list what you like about, and or dislike
about. government or hell even bush or put down who ever and what you
dislike or a way to do something better.

I see us all fighting about 'your wrong' 'no your wrong' but no one will
put forth any viable solutions to solve any problems.

free coffee at the work place.

i dislike- the system

i like - .. .... lol

The solution is so simple!

Iraq is a nation..Read my lips.."A nation"

they were illegally invaded..

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died..

Thousands of Americans have died....For what??

The solution?? Get the **** out of where you don't belong, and let the
people run their own freaking country!!!

there are too many laws over writing the one before..

i like my freedom..

I like how Bush sticks to his principles and doesn't change them for
anyone.

should have never manipulated the constituition of the us..

Well, a complete lack of morals and intelligence do benefit him!

Biddy respect you & your opinion.
could you be just a little softer expressing it.
We all have opinions also.

We the people of the planet called earth have the right to ....

breath.

and,

I understand disliking someone, even intensely. I don't see how anyone
can truly say that a person has a complete lack of intelligence. I've
never really met any human who would fit that description.

Citizens of countries who are experiencing oppression, deserve
assistance. When women and children and the elderly and infirm, are
being persecuted, and abused, they need and deserve protection.

Irrespective of colour, creed or religious beliefs.

In that part, I agree with some of the sentiments of why Iraq deserves
support.

To walk one's streets in safety, and to not fear for one's children
playing in their yards , is something we all want.

I don't know how to stop, or change, what is happening all around the
globe.

I feel we forget that we are not separate.

That the actions of one, will impact on another.

This whole Iraq thing is a mess, and it impacts on many, many countries,
but for the people of Iraq, I believe, they have a choice, if the
country's people want support, and assistance, then it is a human
requirement to assist.

I do not advocate wars, I do not advocate abandoning people to their own
demise either.

Whether we like or dislike it, many, many countries, and their people
are suffering, and as a World, we have an obligation to assist those in
need.

The people, not the money machines.

intelligence isnt a gift or a right, you either have it or you dont.
school helps to cultivate it, nurture it, bring it to te surface if you
will.

but intelligence alone does not bring the solutions in and of itself to
what we have here, diversity of people, intelligence, beliefs, morals,
etc...all swimming around in a vat trying to meld together to form a
harmonious union of people, living in sync, living their lives day after
day, putting up with each others BS.

everyone Bltching no one putting any solutions on the table.

the best system in the world, and yet everyone wants to put it down.
whatever, have a doughnut or something.

jess i'd say our own country still has those problems

So does mine, Sorority..that's where I do my work now...one step at a
time.

Do away with capitalism. For the first time in the history of mankind,
there is enough being produced to feed the entire population of the
world and enough to give medical attention to all those in need. Yet,
there are still people starving and children dying due to the fact that
their parents can't afford to get them the proper vaccination.

The means of production are owned by a few, yet production is only
possible thanks to the working class, pretty much everyone else. The
working class needs to unite and open their eyes to the reality of how
much power they hold, which is much when united.

I agree though, that the first step would be to offer free coffee in the
workplace, fair-trade.

Sounds good in words dont it Jess.

Facts are different however:

A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more
people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003
than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.

According to the survey results, Iraq's mortality rate in the year
before the invasion was 5.5 deaths per 1,000 people; in the
post-invasion period it was 13.3 deaths per 1,000 people per year. The
difference between these rates was used to calculate "excess deaths."

Fanta, may I ask who documented these deaths?

And was there not great pits of bodies uncovered?

I may be wrong but I recall reading about them, so very reminiscent of
Hitler...

I wonder, where the figures came from.

I know I don't have the solutions.

Ending capitalist greed is a great place to start...locally.

supersam,

where is all this food being produced at? just wondering

also the medicines, where are they coming from?


fanta- love to see this survey, can you email me the link to it.
