"I BELIEVE" What a hard question.... I don't think this wonderful world of ours can continue to waste what we do, the pollution, the attitude that we have a endless supply of what ever, water,air, fuel, food. We take things from this earth that never is replaced or can be. We put things in the ground and air that can't be removed. We don't repair or fix things just buy a new one. Our landfills are full of crap that will never go away. Our wants far out exceed our needs. Most of us have been blessed with a great life and I hope and pray that our great-great grand children have the same.

Terry, One would have a hard time disagreeing with you? Unfortunately ,Different parts of our country & people don't think alike? We do mess things up-pretty good?-Land,Air ,Water-huh? We all can name things that need fixing? Various things like Conservation ,Recycling Products, Cleanup of LAW, Renewable Energies & Power, & Transportation Sources ,to list some? "I too believe:-something has to be done,to change our 'Earth',as well as our 'Country'? People need to start to do something?-RichW/43

Terry, Your views are right on. We have to solve these problems for our Grandchildren to live a great life. I always believed that We try to give to our Children more then we had. To bad it is material things. This Country needs change. Not only a new President, But a new attitude in Congress. To many go with the party line instead of going with the country needs. A Dem. comes up with a way to solve something, And is a good idea. The Republicans side will vote against it . Not because its a bad idea but because it's a Democrat idea. This must change. People must get out and vote. I'm Mad and I'm not taking it anymore...LarryK

Larry, I hope more people can see it this way. We need to stop all these lobbyist and corporate greed.
I can remember when i was younger and their was a cartoon with the main character name was BILL, as in want congress does, back then someone wrote a new law and it was voted on, now everyone and their mother has to add something to it or they wont vote for it. I like to watch tv when the houses are in session, it simply amaze me that we pay these elected officials and they don't have to show up for work unless they want to. Kind of like being a member of a crash crew and having a call, if I can't drive am not going out, or I don't like that kind of plane so am not going.
Lets give the government back to the AMERICAN people.
Terry

Terry,Larry & all, Would sure be nice if all the Vet's go out an Vote? You know they won't & you know why? Most are fed up w/the 'Mess',at all levels. At one time,I thought I knew whom I would vote for? All my adult life,I've been an 'Elephant', & for the most part voted for the party candidates?? What a joke,They say one thing & when they go to their job ;it for the most part becomes a joke?? Shame,that we can't get something like the 'Fair/Flat tax in to being? It sure would change 'Washington,DC'!! Folks,I'm off on another Rant? Those who have to do w/our 'Laws,Policies, & Taxes' would rise up & Smash us into dust? Not only would the U.S.Govt,be against us-how about: H & R Block,just to cite a Tax Preparer ,who would be out of business? It would kill an Industry-Wow??-The Crazy Old Man-Semper Fi-RichW/43

The really sad thing is that now you can't tell a democrat from a republican~They all feed us a line of garbage,and Rich i'am with you that I don't know who to vote for! The only thing I do know is that i do not want to see a Clinton Part 2!!It is certainly going to be an interesting year!!I will vote because than I will have the right to gripe!! I surely wish the vets would get together~we would be a powerful lobby in DC! Terry, It is quite alright to agree to disagree~Semper Fi my brother!! God Bless America and especially its armed services!!......Dale

Dale, Taxes are very high no matter where you live. I read in the paper the other day the state of Nebraska wants to increase the gas tax by .40 a gallon, the federal government is cutting back the funding for road improvement, guess its the only way to pay for the war and all those illegals. When the feds "cut" taxes, states are forced to raise them or cut state funding. The state of Iowa wants to raise the bottle deposit to .10 per can/ bottle and keep .02 for improvements, it's now .05 and we get it all back. Not going to make many happy. I guess its OK to talk about all the tax cutting that has been done, as long as we don't mind the states sucking it out of us. Start the presses we need more money>>

All-"What is our future"-General James T. Conway,Commandant of the Marine Corps talked at a Conference in San Diego, where he was asked"What was next"? ;D He thought 'Africa,because the 'Terrorist's already forming up there. :PSo,after 'Iraq & Afghanistan',the next phases of the war will be there? And if we ignore them,they will soon be here!-Semper Fi-RichW/49
