I am not comfortable with giving the government, with all the screw-ups it makes on a regular basis, that kind of power. You cannot bring someone back from the grave.

I dont depend on the Government for anything and havent for quite sometime. Even if you look back through history, Governments have been the cause of war, destruction and famon. PEOPLE solve the problems.\n\n-J.

no. the problem is that all this "enforcement" costs money and time and we seem to want these things but then we get pissed when the govt tries to enforce them. Big govt is not good. We need to keep our selves safe. keep ourselves reponsible, and dammit, keep ourselves from dying from hurricanes ALL BY OURSELVES!

No, daddy George has been in control from the beginning. These same people have been in power for many, many years. If one bothers to look at old photos starting with Ford, you see the same people. Bush Sr., Cheney, Rumsfeld, Jim Baker. These people have been at the top of government for at least twenty years. You don't get things this screwed up in six years, even with W. at the helm. This has been a long time in the making. This past election has stopped them from putting the final nail in our coffin.

Oh, I hope not!  I think we need to be able to "get away" from whatever government dominates, or it will come to dominate every facet of our lives.  Both George Orwell's "1984," (which was written in 1948, as I recall), and "Brave New World," and lots of other science fiction have made the point that a world-wide country is too much power too centralized.  It will not make way for differences that humans need to have to function.  \n\nThe big government concept is uniformity; the politics of scale.  That is a necessary part of doing things on a big scale, and why no more than absolutely necessary should be done by the federal government.  The smaller the unit of government, the bigger the opportunity to respond to real-world circumstances.  A neighborhood can get things done with only occasional assistance from a city government, which seldom needs to draw on the resources of the entire county, state, region.  Response to a major disaster takes a well-coordinated effort across state lines.  Even there, who has done the better job in Katrina response: the Red Cross and the rest of the private foundations, or the federal government?  I rest my case.

The government has gone to far on everything. It is time to end their reign of terror and start over.

No, we are not doing fine. Maybe America is on it's way out. The average government lasts 200 years. Do the math. However, Bush is doing fine, as are the other rich people in the nation. The gap between upper class and low class is widening and middle class is disappearing. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Unfortunately, the following quote couldn't be any truer:\n\n"In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve."\n\nHowever, I see your point, and it's unfortunate that the government officials have to bottom out before the people find the effort to rise up and throw the bums out.

I fully agree.\n\nOur government has gone from "a government borne from the people, and for the people" to "from the Masonic lodges and corporate ties, and for the money while screwing the people."\n\nBut, what is one to do...it is what it is. It'll only change when our people actually wake up, open their eyes to see, and remove their self-serving heads from their behinds.

You thought we had a good administration?????? O K. Only 70% of the population does not think so. Don't worry too much though, this is just window dressing. The same old same old will be taking place and you should remain happy.
