. political change comes from within from power of either of the masses or financial world. R/r 911
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Benjamin Franklin
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
James Madison
I pose a question to you Stevo, how do you feel we should tackle the problem of terrorism/attacks in our country??
good point
what would be the definition of Police State ?
how's being only second to China in incarcerations per capita?
how's the element of collusion set with you on our longest war (drugs), producing over 2 million non violent inmates? note that other countries have let go the strict standards we have, decriminalizing minor offenses
the advent (around 20 yrs ago) of mandatory sentencing,federal guidlines,and the increased federalization of crimes in itself had a major impact here
and lastly, the privitization of our penal system is becoming a cash cow, it's become a friggin' business in itself
somehow 'let freedom ring' doesn't quite carry as it once did ....

a decent Q VinBin, and one we will eventually confront here .
first and foremost, we need to be honest with ourselves, our motives, our goals, our values. as it stands now, we have not been. We were once the light of the world, but those in power that would impose that torch of freedom abroad, while violating it at home are soon going to go down here.
secondly, there has to be a world consortium, not some unilateral cowboy spouting us/them rethoric, that is a recipee for disaster. our foriegn policy got us into this, and will be what gets us out of it
third, one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. it is a war of hearts and minds that no amount of military might will mitigate in generations. the people, any people(s) only follow what they feel is righteous. gaining that faction is the only road to peace

Plus I've talked to people so far who live in Germany, Netherlands, Canada, and Australia and the U.S. so far takes the cake in number of police deployed on the streets as well as having the most hostile police.
Whose values? Whose goals? It seems everybody votes based on what the canidate can do for THEM- what's in it for ME? If I state MY values, I hear "who are you to lord your values over mine?", etc.......
first and foremost, we need to be honest with ourselves, our motives, our goals, our values. as it stands now, we have not been.....

The masses can be taught by the professors. The thinking of generations are moulded by the teachers, the authors, the purveyors of information. To change a society, you change their thinking. Take them over from within- the Trojan Horse. Do it in movies and TV, because after all, it's only entertainment- not to be taken seriously, right? [/sarcasm]Ridryder911
No a reality check... really how much power do you really think you have?.. There is a difference between apathy and understanding of real life...-------
That is why I am amused by tree huggers and movie stars, old liberal college professors actually think they "make the difference".. on what they think or say. It apparently has not nor ever has... political change comes from within from power of either of the masses or financial world.
"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything", the saying goes, yet what I stand for, or you, or your neighbor, whoever- each has their own values, their own morality, their own "guide" of what is right or wrong.
