The point is that we should never have been there in the first place. Our presence there, our misguided attempt at retribution for the 9/11 attacks, has brought a far greater civillian death toll than the original terrorist attacks. The end will be the same as every other war we have fought, the...
I know where I am, no longer plugged into their (the government) way of thinking. What I said was, the misconception which most of us live with is that we have a choice, the reality is that there is no choice, and that what you are doing by beleiving that you have a choice is simply trying to...
You are absolutely right that there are two sides to every story, but if only one side is ever heard how can anyone make that informed decision? The fact that only one side is ever taught in our government regulated schools really should make you wonder why? If this doesn't peak your interest...
If the true history of America was taught in high school, as you can read for yourself in Zinn's book The People's History of the United States, then the term American patriot would be nonexistant. But if this were the reality, how many "patriots" would freely join the cause to fight the...
How are these for starters?
Cut our military budget in half and spend that money on curing disease, famine, hunger and homelessness around the world
Pull all military aid and forces from every foreign country
End using third world countries as sweat shops for our goods
Make restitution to all...
An eye for an eye, a phrase which we are all familiar with, became the demand of the public when terrorists attacked our homeland on 9/11; innocent blood must be paid for with innocent blood, terrorism to combat terrorism. The cry of our nation rose out, the consensus was clear; revenge...

Revoltingest,
What I am referring to is this inherent need of yours to be independent. If you really do not wish to participate in or help support a society then I suggest you become Incorporated. Revoltingest Inc. I can see it now.
Revoltingest,
I feel very saddened for you. It must be extremely lonely in your world. So much responsibility on you and no one to share such a burden. I am glad that I have a support service filled with comrades willing to fight with me and for me, for an equal and just world. I know I will...
If the government wouldn't continue passing legislation to allow big businesses to pay slave wages to the majority of it's citizens and giving our jobs to peoples over seas, then maybe everyone could afford the right to reproduce the same as the super rich. Extreme, but thought provoking. And if...
Solutions for the economy? Hmmm, this seems to fall into the no brainer category. First of all, maybe the middle class shouldnt be the ones paying to support the impoverished of our country. We live in a country where One percent of the nation owns a third of the wealth. The rest of the wealth...
