Can you go back into hibernation until after the election? ;)

ok - but when people complain that i'm gone and that i'm just seeking attention you'll have to answer for it

zero - over and out until after 11/4

mccain will win.

he's a triple threat of old,white, male.

We get to witness everything burn atleast, 10-20 years down the road.

Who are you voting for as your Governor General? Wait a minute...

Sadly those are the usual.

What's interesting is that either way, this will be a historic election. We will either have the first biracial president, the oldest president ever, or the 1st female VP...so either way it turns out history will be made.

I try to be as impartial as I can but on NOV 4th I encourage every U.S. citizen to .....


BARACK THE VOTE!!! :)
BARACK AND ROLL!! :)
OBIDEN......08 !!! :)

Really?

I was pushing for the other party...

And if not, well.....Nader's ALWAYS an option. :D With his never quit attitude.

:rolleyes: .................

So basically, what you're saying is, 50 years from now, while we're sitting around in the rubble that used to be our great society, cooking our BBQ'ed sewer rat on a stick, we'll have a really great trivia question to keep ourselves entertained.

Not at all....just pointing that out for everyone. It's just like other things that have been thrown in history books. Such as the Stock Market crash of 1929 that led to the depression in the 30s, Brown V. Board of Education which led to the integration of schools, FDR's reform of the economy with Social Security, Bush's terrible NCLB Act, and his Patriot Act, and his theory on "wiretapping", etc.

It's important to be cognizant of of greatest failures as well as accomplishments in order to attempt to alleviate the future ones, if not terminate completely; but it may be prolonged the more pessimistic and apathetic the people whom live in the country are. What ever happened to perseverance? Did we have good times? Yes. Are we experiencing bad ones? Hell yeah. But is getting back to where things used to be impossible? I stand proudly with an emphatic No! Sure we'll have to fight a little harder, and dig a little deeper, but it's not like it's unattainable. And if you ask me, living with a philosophy where : "it just sucks, nothing will ever change, so fuck it"--is just a cop out to me. Because if that were the case we wouldn't accomplished what we have despite being so young of a country (242 years); sure you might insinuate the arguments where the bad is still a shadow of the good--but at least it's slowly turned to the "velvet glove" instead of the "violent fist" (Barndt '91).
