I'm curious to know what others see as the single greatest concern in the US right now...
Is it environment?
Terrorism?
Disease?
Economy?
Poverty?
???
...and reasons why.

The government, because the more corrupt it becoes, the more corrupt the american people become
The Environment... mother nature is already trying to tell us something, air quality gets worse every year, and global warming is out of control.
Disease... there's a new one every 2 months, and they all kill you
Terrorism... just goes back to the government, no one knows how to handle it, or how to prevent it, so they came up with a color system to fake us out.
So yeah, I'm concerned about a lot of things. I'm afraid to even think about the state of the world for my little girls to grow up in... It's scary.
One great big festering neon distraction,
Ive a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

What do you think the government is?
Corporation, noun:
1. A body that is granted a charter recognizing it as a separate legal entity having its own rights, privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members.
2. Such a body created for purposes of government.
3. A group of people combined into or acting as one body.
Editing my post in your quote without acknowledgement? For shame.

Another habit says its long overdue

I'm so happy with my righteous self
People that think that Democrats are different from Republicans.
^^^ this nailed it on the head. all the things the original poster mentioned are concerns, but the public's apathy is the biggest of all.
I know that this may not concern most of you as much as the Bush administration or global warming, but it scares me. In this country we have close to a third of all children growing up without intact families, and whether you agree or not with the values that certain families pass on, families in which both parents are around are more successful in having their children COMPLETE and education (more educated children lead to a better overall society) and become well integrated into society as adults. It doesn't matter if your child grows up to be a millionaire or life-time waiter, if they grow up with both of their parents present, they are statistcally much more likely to become citizens to CONTRIBUTE to society, rather than hinder it. The reason I have focused on men and fathers here is not because I think they are any more important in families than women are, because they are not. I believe a family cannot work unless all parties share equal priveledge and responsibility, just as I view this country. But unfortunately, it is usually fathers who abandon their children, leaving mothers struggling to turn to other family members, churches, schools, etc. to help raise their children, and the statistics SEEM to argue that these mothers are already put at a disadvantage by having the father absent. I'm sure the same would be true if mothers abandoned their children, leaving them to be raised solely by fathers, but that simply isn't how it happens most of the time. The issue isn't a race one for me or a problem between conservatives and liberals, it boils down to a family issue. You all may not agree, and I apologize for my very long post, but this is what concerns me. I think many of the countries problems can be avoided by aiding the third of the child population that grows up in single-parent homes. Remember, that third of the child population will one day be one third of the adult population, and they will be voting to make decisions that affect us all.
what did Neil say on the new record...
thank God they're cracking down on steroids,
Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years
When was the last time you heard someone refer to the US gov't as a corporation? I know they can be indistinguishable at times, but seriously..
you knew where I was going with that...
I don't really let the references of others control the way I see things.
Yes I did.
my greatest concern is that people that don't think there IS a difference between the two parties actually come to power someday.
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things

That guy was Bush if you believed his lies -- "I'm a uniter". Hate to burst your bubble but you've been bamboozled, dumbfuck.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Bush hasn't divided anything, he's a pretty liberal Republican...which I can get in line with. But if you think he's a divider, you don't know much about political science. Clearly the parties in the electorate are divided, and Democrats would view ANY Republican President as a divider...
If you compare Bush to other Republicans in government and Republican voters....it's simple, he's a moderate, and obviously NOT a "polarizing" figure.
best regards,
dumbfuck

Wow, those blinders must help you sleep all day long. Bush is not a divider -- try again you limpdick sheep. LOL, you truly are a dumbshit.

can you give an exampe of why he's a divider? or a true conservative for that matter? can you tell me how he is more conservative than JFK? Can you tell me where he stands ideologically in realation to Republican governors and Republicans in Congress? Or where he stands in relation to most Republican voters?

If the two parties are any different foreign policy would have changed in the last 60 years. Its hasn't, that should tell you something. And gov't, whether dem or rep, has been handing out tax dollars to corporations-giving away as many dollars to corporations as they spend on social services-again, a constant policy, regardless of the party in power.
There's doves and hawks... but they have the same agendas. Doves would prefer to let a country's army overthrow the popular elected leaders to replace them with a US puppet, while the hawks prefer outright invasion. Either way the goal is conquest. And you have doves and hawks labelled democrat or republican.
Its not a 2 party system...its a corporate party running gov't, and the people have no meaningful say in gov't policy, the idea of the policy makers from the beginning. If a country is democratic to the extent that the people have meaningful participation in the decision making process-which is true-then the United States can in no way be considered a democracy. And if you have a one party system they have a name for that-its called fascism.
So...unless your view is that capitalism is evil (not a mainstream view)...the parties are further apart today than they have been in 80 years. I'm not trying to wage a personal attack here, but only people on either one of the fringes can't see a difference between today's Reps and Dems.

I would like this. In all the posts I've seen you make in the past couple of days, I've yet to see you actually respond to ONE post without solely bashing their point of view. I don't know how old you are, but I can tell you that you will not get very far in life at all if that is the only thing you. Seriously, be mature for a change and respond to his question, don't just call him some "Right wing zealot" or something like that (I'm not saying thats what that guy is).
2. Laziness
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
isn't that silly.. I can see where you blame these things for some of the wrongs in the world....
But surely even you'd prefer that oppression and starvation were conquered even at the cost of our having to deal with lazy people.
