well, at least my opinions about it..
You know how there are hundreds of research places..some for cancer some for aids some for poisons some for dieabetes (ect) why cant the government put all of these centers together..make it one giant organization twords finding one cure at a time, all that funding all that information put together to help find the cures faster? (do you see what i mean)
basicly "work on cancer" when thats done "AIDS" and so on..
why not have every citizen in america send 5 dollars to the government to increase funding to strengthen security?
(or a giant fence)
why not change the first amentment by adding,
"applies to everyone over 18" at the bottom?
why not have the government schedual a meeting with the leader of alquida** (the terrorist dudes) and figure things out.. work on a settlement or actually learn why? they hate america. (if they actually do at all..i dont really trust our government)....and actually tell citizens the truth.
why not? yeah basicly..we need one person to run the country, because we dont get the "freedom" that a democracy has anyways..
i mean...look at britan "yes while it is true that the king and queen are mainly figure heads"
theyre way better off then us...at least based off the information the government tells us, but then again, you cant trust it anyways.. Must be? None. Reccomended? Many. The government only does a very small amount of research. The vast majority is done by private companies. They have to reason to combine together, and the government can't make them.
They don't need $5 from each person for security. Almost assuredly it would go to some other use, and that would piss off everyone. The fence is another issue entirely.
Why would you change the first amendment at all? Don't kids deserve the right to voice concerns about the government too?
The leader of Al Quaida will never agree to a meeting because he knows that he would be arrested. Regardless of whether or not America told him he'd be safe, they would take his @ss down for sure. If only life was this simple. It isn't or it would have been done already. You are consistent. None of your ideas are workable. Why does government not tell people the truth, because to tell "one truth" means to upset the other half of the people.
Governments (Politicians more precisely) entire job is to get re-elected (at least in their eyes) WHY DON'T YOU RUN FOR OFFICE??
WHY NOT??? Okay first you want to create a bureaucracy for medical research...nope it will only mess it up.
$5 dollars to the government...well when they start using what I gave them for what they said I was paying for maybe I'll send more
the 18 thing really does make sense...but underneath that should also say "Your not a kid anymore, act like it"
If we meet with Al Queada they will kill us. They don't want to like us. Its just how they are.
Stay in school kiddo and listen to your parents Oh yeah - everybody send the fed 5 dollars for the fence because they have proven they are fiscally responsible and are enforcing the law! In other words, why doesn't the govt just run everything?
That way people who are incapable of thinking for themselves won't have it so hard. Build the fence. Deny social services to illegals. Abolish anchor-baby policy. research-private companies
how would you pick who does not get a cure first?
i like the five dollar idea. i would do that.
freedom of speech, nuf said.
if al queda wanted to talk they would have done it before 9/11.
pursue the 5 dollar fence idea. it would go well. Somehow the sense of this escapes me.
I wonder who is doing the best research? The drug companies or arms length funded research?
The Genome Project was government funded to the tune of 500 million per year. It finished their first project two years early and under budget. You have good questions. Things I've asked myself time and time again too. But you have to realize that government is run by men, and although they hate to admit it, they make mistakes.
The human race from day one has always been out for number one. Self preservation. There are cures out there for many of the diseases that still plague us, but do you think pharmaceutical companies want us to know that. Why we could pay $25 for a cure for diabetes, but then we wouldn't be paying $115 a month for our meds. Get the point?
Ahh, security. We wouldn't need security if we got along with each other right? But also from the beginning there's been strife. Cain killing Abel. Everyone envy's someone else, or is jealous, or wants power or control. Peace is only achieved at death.
As for the 1st Amendment - Freedom of Religion, Press or Expression - hummm - I guess we really never have had much of that have we. There has always been strife over peoples beliefs, cover ups in the press, and we can voice our opinion, but just not too loudly without repercussions.
As to your question about terrorist meeting - well, I think that if the United States stayed out of other peoples businesses and let the settle their own disputes and consentrated on the home front we wouldn't be terrorized. We have enough terrorism within our own country with our own people destroying each other.
As for secrets - If we don't demand, we don't get answers. Americans are too gullible - too lazy - too disinterested in politics to do anything about it, because politics has become a game for the rich and famous. We don't count anymore. We are insignificant, our votes are hogwash. When did you every see a congressman do what HIS CONSTITUANTS want? Do they go out and ask the public? No, they vote how they want. I saw a saying the other day that is very appropriate "Keep ex-offenders from reoffending, don't elect them." But, as you can see by the votes of the American people electing someone else for president, but Bush got in anyway. So, where do our votes count?
Big Government - Big Business - that's all it is! I send the government enough money the way it is now, they just waste it all. |
