To quote a popular political pundit's recent column:\n\nTry showing up in any other country on the planet, illiterate and penniless, and announcing: "I've seen pictures of your country and it looks great. I think I'd like to live here! Oh, and by the way, would you mind changing all your government and business phone messages, street signs and ballots into my native language? Thanks!"

Still waiting for intelligent answers? I hope people are just busy typing, after the first two I saw.\nI have to say, I agree with you- we need the checks and balances back in our government. Stagnation was going on, and I think a few of us were about ready to take to the streets in rebellion. It's kind of a shame the way you have to MAKE people act right. I think we will see more cooperation, less arrogance now that they have gotten the wake up call of the elections. I am hopeful.

I am an American, and I as you do not believe that we should be pushing something on countries that do not want it. I think if a majority of the citizens want help then we should help, but if a majority don't then we should back off.

Yes. I believe in equality. I think it is ashame that we would deny two loving people the opportunity to have the government sanction and offer protections to that union and the families connected with that union.

NO!!!!!  Our coutry is controled be a network of people, Alumin, Mayson, skulls. United Nations.  They give WE THE PEOPLE a false sence of security.  Media feeds our nation only what these groups want us to see And as a nation we walk blind folded threw darkness holding the hand of our enemies, as we Vote for fools with hidden agendas.   WE THE PEOPLE because of our sin and lust have allowed this to happen.  WE THE PEOPLE have tried to remove God from our nation and our lives, But then ask him to bless us with prosperity.  WE THE PEOPLE allow gay's to teach our children, WE THE PEOPLE are ok with abortion, WE THE PEOPLE sugar coat our own lies, murders, adultries, greed and lust.  \nNO!!!!!!\nWE THE PEOPLE lost control long ago.\nWE THE PEOPLE need to repent and invite God back into our country. \nLess we fall in a ditch, when the blind leads the blind. *****BIBLE SAYS*******\nWE THE PEOPLE need to elect true men of God, as Heads of State not false ones "GB" \nanalizing the fruit that they bare before we elect them.\nI feel dispare for WE THE PEOPLE because I know that we won't change. \nWE THE PEOPLE will just go on feeding our fat faces watching reruns on TV, and playing Video Games, While little satans grow in power and run our nation.\nWE THE PEOPLE please!!!!   look for Christ

The question should be are there any honest governments anywhere in the world? Are there any honest politicians left? Are people okay with their government's lack of forth-coming? I am not happy with people feeding me lies and its up to us the voters to demand the truth and honesty. Although, I am very weary of ever getting the truth to come out of a politicians mouth. Let me know your answers!

The People elect the Government\n\nBut the Government does not always reflect the will of the people\n\nAll part of a free republic

i totally agree with you. we need to help our own country first and then if their is enough left in the budget then help. i see our country in need. we don't have what we need do we??? the government needs to make or get their priorities straight.and quick. if they don't they will soon be regretting this. they need to wake up fast.the real question is will they????????? most likely they wont! people need to start complaining about this. maybe this is a start??? go for it it is a good cause.

I feel very angry about what Bush has done to our reputation around the world.  It is something that really concerns me.  But, and this is a big but, I believe you are wrong about the American people and our government.  The American people ARE the government, in a very real sense.  We elect and we reject.  We are free to speak out and criticize our government and our President if we feel they are screwing up, and thankfully can effect change fairly easily compared to most governments.  You can see from our polls (yes, polls are notorious but when they all agree it's good to pay attention to them) that the majority of the American people do not approve of the job that Bush is doing.  We can support our troops and still be unhappy about the reasons they are there.  \n\nWe will change the tide by voting, it is our most precious freedom, IMO.  Apathy keeps many Americans at home during the mid-term elections, but I feel this time around we will see a big surge at the polls in the Democratic favor.  I have to say, as unhappy as I am with the Bush Administration, I bristled when I read your opening statement.  It just isn't true, we are the sum of all of our parts in this democratic republic.  We will continue to respond harshly to terrorists and their threats, whether our government is headed by a Republican or a Democrat.  Guantanomo Bay?  It's unfortunate and there's house cleaning to be done, but we have a right to detain those who are a threat to our national security.  We learned on 9/11 what it means to remain complacent and have a false sense of security.  We won't make that mistake again.

No one can not feel safe . It is only the matter when is the turn of your countay or state. It is the high time now that our leaders should bury the differences and join together to wage a war against war, which seems a distance possibilities giving their never ending greed. \nWe the comman citizen should come up now to make a force of our own which should be above the boundary of countaries. Can we give ourself to these shrewd politicians insatiable thirst.NO WE CAN NOT. If we want the coming generations to live in safety we must take this responsibility.\nMerely by expressing our views we can not change the prevailing situation can never attain  the safety.

We need to wake up ourselves, and we need to get involved with our government. More people need to send letters to their represenatives with their worries and communities need to rally and show their government, OUR government, that we have more important issues in this country than tax cuts and banning gay marriage(which I am against). The people need to get involved. Vote! Rally! Write letters! Show that we're involved and that we need a government for the people, by the people like our Constitution says, not rich senators and represenatives concerned with popularity.

Well, everybody is looking for their own interest in this regard. People who are protesting are protecting their interests. All in all there is nothing wrong in protesting but  it is up to the government to take decision which serve larger interest!!!!

An excellent question. I am forced to borrow one of my favorite quotes:\n\n"In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve."\n\nI just hate the fact that before the people react, as I believe a little over HALF of them did on Nov. 7, they wait until the situation has bottomed out - rather than consistently participating in our government and trying to keep an even keel.\n\nAs the quote above indicates, you are 110% correct in placing the blame for any failures in this great nation squarely on the shoulders of the people. \nThe system of democracy cannot sustain itself without the peoples participation and constant input. \nPower corrupts - we see it demonstrated on a weekly basis - and, at times, even more often.\n\nThe people are the ultimate checks and balance - but only if they excercise that duty.
