with all the talk on here about war and such it got me thinking....so much time is spent worring about outside your country...The real fear that i see is,an implosion rather than an explosion......First drugs are no longer just an inner city problem.....steriod use is now a part of the so called athletic culture.....Crack and meth fight eachother for the most used drug and there are so many people are on meds,that pharmicutial companys are now considered top stocks....Heath issues like Obesity and smoking taxx the heath care system...guns are still way to easy to get and yes i know its your right to sell and buy guns,but is says nowhere,that,amunition is your right....The rich get poorer, the poor become homeless,gas is costly,(and not just for automobile use)and the canadian dollar is with in ten cents of the american.....I think its time to stop this choosing of sides based on old political beliefs,and start maybe thinking of voting for the one who will help sweep up home,before cleaning up to many others yards.....this is just my opinion and maybe i am way off......Even when goverment direction was really needed in New Orleans,many seemed upset and felt that it was handled poorly.....There is a saying that goes " Home sweet home".....I sure hope it stays that way......Your country is a wonderful place full of many wonderful and outstanding helping,caring people....The world needs the U.S.A.my hope is it can find the right caretaker soon..(again This thread is strickly my opinion,and that and a buck,will get you a coffee at your local diner,)
