Reply #52: Perhaps I generalize far too much [View All]

I try to keep my posts short .

I understand all of what you are saying . The apathy or whatever word describes my feelings , maybe it's loss of trust .

I say this because as a nation we were finally begining to pull out of the muck brought on by Reagan /Bush . I am not going to say I agreed with all Clinton did during his terms . In his defense he had to deal with alot of flack .

Right now since bush jr climbed into our lives there is not one issue he has not touched or destroyed . It's not just the war , it involves the very fabric of this country ranging from the wars , the shreading of the constitution , the down fall of the economy including the tax cuts for the wealthy and the rise in medical costs . This does include ignoring the entire gulf coast after Katrina .

This admin has piled on so much more damage which has brought us back to a point far worse than most people in this country have ever seen .

So now just in order to get back to where we were , imperfect as it was , there is so much that needs to be over come and resolved than it will take generations .

This is the problem I have when all faith is placed in any political party .

Certainly we were headed toward a brick wall before bush but we had a much better chance of steering clear of this than we have now .

When you consider all the issues we now face the starting point becomes blurred when one asks how do we fix this .

I truely believe it will require a change in the way each citizen views these issues and it requires that each take some sort of action to turn this around . We have tried but so far the effort has not been large enough or focused enough . We can't simply rely on the government and policy .

I bring up a general strike because this would approach many issues face on at one time with one effort . Call it a focused effort and unity .

I am against the funding given to bush even if it was not needed it just adds to their power above the pipeline and can be used in ways that can make things even worse .

Six years of this horror certainly people are going to become more and more impatient . I am still surprised that it took this long for many citizens to wake up the little they have and I question their motives for voting Democratic . Was it just the war or was it personal palying it safe for some sort of gain .
