What will you do if Bush wins?
| Fri, 08-20-2004 - 12:02pm |
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.

Nope. Which is why we also need to overhaul welfare. Maybe if people were forced to pay for more things themselves, they would think twice before making "human mistakes."
Back to the authoritarian view of what "should" be. People make poor choices, stupid mistakes, and always will. Punishing them for it afterwards only makes things worse for them and whoever is dependent on them. We have to have alternatives that work on all levels. People don't sit down and make a choice to have a baby at 15 or to be raped. Many young girls think they are in love and will marry the "father" and "have someone to love them" (the baby).

Yup, and life isn't fair. It is not about punishment, it about how life is.
Life isn't fair and there will never be an even playing field for all. That is just the way life is. Liberal policies that try to change this won't succeed, no matter how hard they try. Some folks will ALWAYS have more opportunities than others. Also, some folks will work harder than others and make good. And they are not beholden to those who don't.

You are not beholden and I hope things are always bright and shiney for you and those you love. You are judgemental, though and non compassionate (word?).

Not if we have a good judicial system.
No one has the right to rob or rape or fight with us. The right to arm ourselves and to get justice IS in the constitution. We have the right to defend ourselves. What isn't in it is the obligation to support those who don't want to support themselves.
I don't judge anyone.
I don't believe that right should have ever been made law .....

Saying that the right to gay marriage is part of the Constitution is really a stretch. Pretty much reading between the lines.

Separation of Church and State isn't even in the Constitution.
As far as the move backwards about 60 years, some moves that we have made forward with respect to some issues are not really moves forward.
