Luv ya M ![]() It's obvious people are NOT happy, and removing a grain of sand from a mountain is NOT real change. jmo its not passive, cant move a mountain without moving the grains,,,, people want to put the cart before the horse, and dont realize it is a collection of the small that builds up to the LARGE but what else do we expect from an instant gratification culture? It is passive in the sense that if you have an arterial bleed....a bandaid isn't going to fix it. where is the arterial bleed? |

lol absolutely, repub, dem, lib, conserv,,,blah blah blah labels,,,,who knows what someone else really is anymore we go round and round,,,,trying to pinpoint politicians instead of letting them be complex, multilayered human beings I vote beliefs and principles rather than party or politician. I feel better about myself and can stand behind defense of my choices with conviction, and the satisfaction of knowing I made an effort in supporting them. |

I see a place thats better than many , but not yet perfect. I see a place where 'classes' who once had little to no rights are being afforded more equal opportunities. I see a place where people are 'free' to express themself and pursue dreams so, I guess I dont see an 'arterial' bleed, that is, nothing that is life threatening as opposed to just life,,, not to say I see nothing that can improve, just that I dont see the dire political situations others seem to,,, |

They still bear restrictions above and beyond our constitutional rights.... so our freedoms are allowed, like privileges granted by gov't, rather than constitutional, god given rights. Sorry, but I must agree to disagree with you again. The gov't does not have the right to restrict any privilege that doesn't impose upon the rights of another! |

They can pass laws, but they are given that right under the constitution, and if against the constitution, can not be legally enforced (But they do anyway....he who has the guns has the power). Privilege may be earned, but again the gov't has no authority to restrict "rights", so their ability to award privilege is in question per issue. Thank you for your input. Always a pleasure ![]() |

My point is, if you are gonna increasingly accept more and more invasions on your rights and privacies as an American and hell as a human being, then you have no right to complain about things when it comes to a head. You did it to yourself, you created your own prison without bars. Just yesterday a TSA agent confiscated a cupcake at an airport from a woman, a CUPCAKE! If you can't see how ridiculous this and other events like it are, you're just not looking hard enough. These are the things you will get and continue to get the more you allow them to tell you what to do. It's really that simple. |

These are the things you will get and continue to get the more you allow them to tell you what to do. It's really that simple. big IF since it doesnt apply to my own life though, I guess I will continue to stand by what I believe,,, It will soon enough, you can't run from it forever.

Luv ya M ![]() It's obvious people are NOT happy, and removing a grain of sand from a mountain is NOT real change. jmo its not passive, cant move a mountain without moving the grains,,,, people want to put the cart before the horse, and dont realize it is a collection of the small that builds up to the LARGE but what else do we expect from an instant gratification culture? It is passive in the sense that if you have an arterial bleed....a bandaid isn't going to fix it. where is the arterial bleed? You can really ask this?????? OMG.... just look around you each day! I see a place thats better than many , but not yet perfect. I see a place where 'classes' who once had little to no rights are being afforded more equal opportunities. I see a place where people are 'free' to express themself and pursue dreams so, I guess I dont see an 'arterial' bleed, that is, nothing that is life threatening as opposed to just life,,, not to say I see nothing that can improve, just that I dont see the dire political situations others seem to,,, So "Occupy", the new defense authorization act, the patriot act and policies of the TSA and DHS are freedoms? They still bear restrictions above and beyond our constitutional rights.... so our freedoms are allowed, like privileges granted by gov't, rather than constitutional, god given rights. Sorry, but I must agree to disagree with you again. The gov't does not have the right to restrict any privilege that doesn't impose upon the rights of another! agree to disagree as well as usual, the fundamental disagreement between the difference in a 'right' and a 'privilege' and my personal belief that privileges are earned with responsibility and sacrifice And it's that attitude which is exactly why we're going down the tube, because you have bought into the lies you have been fed. They got you wrapped right around their finger and you don't even know it. really? feeling we should 'earn' things like privileges (perhaps a review of websters might clarify what that word means) has lead us down the tube? the feeling that we should just be 'given' without effort or sacrifice would be better? My point is, if you are gonna increasingly accept more and more invasions on your rights and privacies as an American and hell as a human being, then you have no right to complain about things when it comes to a head. You did it to yourself, you created your own prison without bars. Just yesterday a TSA agent confiscated a cupcake at an airport from a woman, a CUPCAKE! If you can't see how ridiculous this and other events like it are, you're just not looking hard enough. These are the things you will get and continue to get the more you allow them to tell you what to do. It's really that simple. big IF since it doesnt apply to my own life though, I guess I will continue to stand by what I believe,,, It will soon enough, you can't run from it forever.
