for all our differences
i thkn we all still deserve a round of applause, we all are informed and politically active, people who are not are the scourge of society, we on the other hand are informed and make choices on what we believe not who looks nicer or who's more popular. I sometimes think the right to vote should be open to all BUT the person should be forced to actually learn about each canidate and party before voting so they can make an informed true choice of who should run the country, otherwise you get idiots that just vote for any jackass

Well, maybe before people go out to vote, there should be a video in the voting booth that forces people to watch the views that each candidate has to offer. That way inept leaders won't get into office due to name recognition, ya know?
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
yeah the quiz thing was done back in the days...not a good idea, though i think it would be a great idea to have a video that shows the canidates views on things and you can decide from there.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

We should also have a better program for convincing people to vote.-

i think the voters would come out if they just knew what was going on, the mudslinging campaigns don't educate, they just screw people up.

Agreed. I cannot express how much I hate those campaign commercials where they don't just go into how great their candidate is, they make up shit about the opposing one as well: "I heard that he eats babies! And then has sex with them AFTER eating them! And then pukes up the babies and feeds them to his PUPPIES, that he keeps locked up in his basement with spikes and chains! Oh, and his politics suck too. Vote for me!" Politics are so polluted.

I've been away a couple days... I see Alan has ventured back, nice to see ya, no hard feelings I hope.
Anyways, there should be some sort of ban on mudslinging. The only time a politician should be able to attack another through the media should be during a debate which is structured and fair.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Jim, if there were hard feelings towards ya, I'd have insulted you by now....bitch. 
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
priceless....
Make a campaign commerical vs. me.............I'd be curious to see what somebody could come up with.
I wanna become mayor of this shithole town I live in......the current mayor is now on his like 6th term, and I heard rumors that several terms ago he blacksheeped the election.
Fucker.......thats so sad. He's a fat rolly polly mo'fo too. Now I'm just bitchin...

off that note (but somewhat relaed to Rochester) This guy, last name Clancy, I guess he's a HIGH UP at Kodak. He bought a lottery ticket here in Hornell and won the freakin "win for life"
Isn't that just freakin slap ya in the ass fantastic? I hate it when people who are making six figures already win big on the lottery.
