One set of guys comes in and fixes some things, fucks up other things, and then later the other team is up to bat again and they fuck up some things and fix other things. ... So to wrap it all up, congratulations on your marriage and I'm sorry you've been left holding the bag, but that's always happening to someone. My suggestion is to keep your mouth shut and let both sides propose their batshit schemes and watch how they play out. The other side will eventually knock down the worst of them and a few may actually work. Save the righteous indignation for the true horrors of the world. |
The real reason for this thread, (and most of my political threads), is giving our leaders to much power is never a good thing. We are in a world right now where it would be very easy for Obama to collect a lot more power. A lot of the country sees him as the second coming. He can do no wrong, and the best for the country is to just put all of our lives in his hands.
He is no better or worse then the last guy, or if the power is the same, the next guy. The problem is not the man, but the power you give him. I am trying to open peoples eyes to how this man is just another man, prone to attempt to use his power to try and help people, only to end the end screw things up with it.
The passages I quoted from you, show you already understand this, and thus you are not my target audience. Thanks by the way, I can't wait to me married!
I should put this in my quote block:
Describe who I am talking about Bush or Obama: I hope to use all my power, and maybe ever a little I shouldn't have, to change the world in way that's better for all that live in it. Answer: both. (the last 8 years showed how effective that is).
