Are you concerned that we are turning every aspect of our lives over to the government?

Absolutely. They mostly want subordinates but it looks like they are picking on people for thrills. This explains why things are always screwed up.

Its a matter of preception. If you believe that this country is responsible for the welfare of its citizens then yes. If you believe that everyone can help themselves, then no

No. I think some of the people who lives over there are happy they have their government the way it is now as opposed to what they had before.

There you go Pussycat, you answered your own question. You gotta stop doing that, you're wasting 5 points. The governement could care less about the people coming over here, it's one less thing for them to worry about! If thier government themselves werent so far gone (drug wise) perhaps they'd have a reasonalbe person over there making correct decisions! the entire governement is made up of crack heads and greedy men! Do you think they care what happens to anyone other then themselves??

It is not about what our government is doing anymore, it is about how much money we can make. People are only concerned with what affects them. Right now, it is about the tax cuts and our protection from terrorists. No one cares about or inhumane treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. No one cares that we now have the largest national debt in this countries history, because our children, not us, will have to pay it off. No one cares that our privacy is being taken away from us or our education system is going down the drain. It is all about how much money can we make. It's sad, and I wish it were different, but it's going to take something really horrible to happen for Americans to realize that their country is being stolen from them.

My vision is to return the government to a government of the people, by the people and for the people. We live in a great country with so much potential but greed is taking it in its grip, people are so worried about what their neighbor is doing or getting that they forget to watch their own yard. There is very little compassion for others and I would like to see that changed,

Very doubtful today, what with the Patriot act, Homeland Security, Governments fear of new and alternative life styles, things, and people striving for need or greed in general everyday life. If we tried to be Utopian, Washington would shut us down. I know, I know I am a paranoid, but look around your world.

I think that this government is really nosy. I agree, we have problems. Huge problems. We are in billions of dollars in debt, they're cutting fundings were we need it the most. Its not fair in this system of things.

Hey There pingavar, I have a question for you. Don't you think the government has enough control over the people? Have you ever heard the phrase "God helps those who help themselves" ? We are our brothers keepers and as such we should all help one another in each of our needs regardless of the beneficial return to our selves.          \nDid you know that all of the services that the government provides are paid for by our taxes? So, what is the problem with people helping people and leaving the government out of it and letting them do the job of running the country and defending our country. It won't hurt us to use some of our time and resources to help the less fortunate.  God Bless you, and check into the actual functioning of government before you try to lay every thing at their feet.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly. If it doesn't this could be a huge turning point for our country. I hope people won't stand for it and take to the streets.

I thinks its time for it all to be over. It's time to concentrate more on the problems of our own country and stop worrying so much over what is going on elsewhere.

Are we Afraid Hell NO ! You people want more than what we're giving you and the price of freedom isn't cheap. OUr poor fathers worked hard to make this Country work for business men like myself, and We are not going to set back and watch you destroy what we have in order to make you any happier here. you start at the bottom and work your way up or you can all go back to where you all came from. It's that easy There will be hell to pay the day they open the gates and just allow you free passage into this country, because I'm not alone on this one !!!

I don't understand what the republics problem is... Hell are you really happy with the way things are going? The Government is taking away freedoms... We're in a country we SHOULDN"T have ever even VISITED let alone take over... (you can't argue there I mean "weapons of mass destrution" in Iraq when there are ACTUAL weapons in Japan to be concerned about... But we cant do anything about that, our troups are in Iraq.) This countries going to end if things don't change. Lets not even talk about the debt we're racking up. Jobs leaving. Economy *hit... What scares everyone SO bad about things changing (it can only get better)
