As it stands, it appears that all it'd take would be for some honorable, dutiful men to occupy our government.

I think great progress has been with the election of President Bush. He has proven himself to be even more than I hoped for. IMO, it seems that order has been restored.

P.S. I'm sorry to say I laughed as everyone was working you over. Most people here have a good sense of humor, others are just well... I'm new too, but I consider that a good thing. All day I am old, until I log on. It's good to feel "new" again. I wish I could find the site where I get to be "new and improved". Anyway, I thought I'd give you one reasonable post, now you're on your own. LOL

1. I think your thread is getting attention, maybe not discussion.

2. Since you mentioned "My dictionary states that "dumbies" is appropriate." I am curious what dictionary that is? I must confess, I find it extremely difficult to belive that ANY dictionary, print or online, would indicate that "dumbies" is correct - please prove me wrong.

Let's scrap this. I have no time for bs. With responses such as these, we'll never get to the issue at heart, and, therefore, nothing will ever change.

I haven't time for such nonsense.

It is amazing how foolish we have been for decades. It seems like mass insanity. Public education is certainly a primary culprit in the general dumbing down of America but the governemnt and the mainline media do their best to keep us in the dark.

I also have to say that this is an important topic and we should not quibble about spelling. Remember that most of us learned our spelling from the public school system.

I think that it is horrific that we have stood still while the (mostly left) enviro whackos demonized substances like asbestos, DDT and CFCs and we let them cost us billions of dollars and millions of lives by letting them control the guns of government in relation to these substances.

It is unbeleivable that we let the (mostly right) drug warriors prosecute the War on Drugs that has financed very dangerous enemies in both the middle east and South America. If you remember, we were spoiling for war in Columbia until 9-11.

Now both left and right are getting together to tear up the constitution-for the emergency, of course- to battle terrorism. None of which will help one bit.
