At a grave rate. The foreign and domestic policies are leading us in a downward spiral. We spend most of our money on weapons and wars instead of health care and education. Fact. How can we expect any good from this? "to err is human but to persist in error is diabolical."[Edited on October 16, 2006 at 8:42 PM. Reason : .]

We are the first generation in the history of civilization to write about our belief that civilization is declining.

No one ever talks about upward spirals.

I don't understand how you can be called an insurgent or rebel for fighting of an unwarranted American invasion. But the problems stem from the core and spreads to U.S. belligerent foreign policies. People notice the problems, but do nothing to stop them. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, businessman, clergymen etc, don't do anything substantial on the whole to remedy the situation.[Edited on October 16, 2006 at 8:50 PM. Reason : .]

The post by Wolfpack2K reminds me of the old verse...It's not the legislators that give you freedom, it's the veteran!the poster of this thread might be on to something, however, as long as he's talking about the eroding line between welfare and charity, the illegal immigration problem, and the fact that we are taxed to death, among other things.[Edited on October 16, 2006 at 10:59 PM.

If not for the American Republic abandoning its founding precepts by 1897 Britain probably would still be the world super-power.

You didn't do well in reading comprehension, did you?The word "if" makes a bit of a difference in that sentence.

I don't know if they pollute more than autos (I highly doubt the level) but their toxins are more deadlier. But nothing is done about restricting toxic waste emissions . Boeing and Westinghouse, some of the biggest perpetrators to be exact, instead place their problems of "cleaning up" on the hands of others.
10/17/2006 9:17:09 PM
Cleaning up what? You have not said what they are dumping or who they are having clean it up. I suspect one abandoned copper mine in Texas dumps more toxic chemicals into the water table than all U.S. weapons production combined.
