I would like to know what you all will do if Bush wins? I don't know if I can handle another 4 years. Any ideas of how to reclaim our country and restore democracy and freedom? I'm worried that another 4 years will increase the authoritariansm and absolute power that Bush has come to claim and further trample on our constitution and individual liberties. I'm truly frightened.

I personally think that's what he's trying to do with the whole gay religion thing. He's using his job to force his beliefs onto people by taking those freedoms away. If people come to America to be free and they are that way in their sexuality why couldn't they have their rights here? They aren't bothering anybody and it's not our place to judge them. XOXO.

In high school Spanish was always popular. I think it's cause it was the easiest of the three foreign languages. I did take Latin but failed and was like ten points away from passing or so. I was so sad, but I wasn't great in English verbs and whatnot like I am now. :) But maybe Gore just had a mono tone voice and stuff. I had two teachers in high school who were that way and gosh t hey were so boring it was hard to stay awake. One teacher even got off topic on days he did talks and stuff. Heh heh. XOXO.

On schools not having money why can't they do fundraiser's and stuff? When I was in high school our band would always have fundraiser's and stuff and the money would go to the program. Choirs and stuff also had fundraiser's to help them and stuff. Plus, it'd be fun to get the community together and get to know each other better, etc. Also, the church I go to also sometimes pitches in and helps with getting supplies and stuff and donates to schools or a part of the community who needs help. My Mom always tries to help donate school stuff to this lady who she knows who's involved with Spanish kids and helping them with school stuff. :) XOXO.

Psychomutt is right, some people base their opposition to gay marriage on thier fears, and thier ignorance. Honestly, who is it hurting? Come on. why shold they not have the right to marry? If convicted spouse abusers and child molesters are allowed to marry, (and they are) why would we be complaining about a gay couple who really just want to mind their own business???

<<The prisoner abuse scandel...two reports this week basically lay the blame right at the Defense Secretary Donald Dumfeld's feet, and he should resign.>>


I'd like to see a link to back that up.

Welcome dclarkin!


< am surprised to see so many people supporting president bush here. I have had many conversations with countless people and only 1 person I have spoke with supported bush. >>


Shades of that reporter who woke up the morning after the '72 election and couldn't believe Nixon won because she didn't know anyone who voted for him.

<<You want for instance better schools. A) Stop allowing illegals to use a system they are not contributing to>>


All residents, including illegal aliens, fund the school system. Many also pay income tax, and studies have shown that they contribute more in taxes then they spend in social services.
