We are well on the way into this abyss. It appears it will come to pass in much the same way, unless we change who is in charge of our political parties.
The two frontrunners for 2008 at this time, R And D , will keep sending us in this direction for the same reasons the author of this piece states.
How very depressing.
I realize it looks like the fault of one or the other political party, but try to understand there are folks who are much more powerful than the leaders of political parties. Understanding this much will help us get a handle on the problem.
"The two frontrunners for 2008 at this time, R And D , will keep sending us in this direction for the same reasons the author of this piece states."
Exactly so! We see that the politicians, or most of them anyway, are nothing more than tools.
"How very depressing."
It is, but it doesn't need to be depressing if we concentrate on fixing the problem. Steady positive progress will improve everyone's outlook.
