Now, Gene, it isn't that my answer or James' is the only answer, it is the inability of so many to do their homework even though they spent 12-13 years hearing daily "do your homework." I am absolutely positive that there are much greater minds out there that could, if they should so choose, come up with some answers.

I think the one single thing that could be done to really shake it up and knock folks out of their complacency and make them at least think about thinking (o.k., so I'm pessimistic <g>), is to abolish the party system of elections! If people didn't have "their" party to hang onto, they might actually have to look at who they are going to elect!

The public doesn't think. If they actually did their research, looked at everything and then made a decision, I wouldn't be so blooming negative about our chances of every fixing the mess we're in. But they don't and they won't and even if they do a little they have umpteen bazillion reasons why it is o.k. that this, that or the other thing is wrong with "their" candidate.

Hey, maybe that is part of the problem also. They have too much invested in "THEIR" candidate instead of looking at it from the view point of what is best for the country.

Like I have said at least a dozen times, I have no dog in this race. And having done my homework, I've done an about face. I admit that I was originally impressed with the pretty speach at the DNC. However, I can also admit that I was WRONG!

Unfortunately, as history has so clearly shown, this country is doing a repeat and the closest to what is happening is the sheople fiddling as Rome burns!

Lynda, who finally was able to get some tomatoes in the ground cause the frost is supposedly gone.

Yeah, we have some here who are pretty sure theirs is the only answer.

Likely a common view of serious homesteaders. Might be accurate, too.
