Leo Pride And Governement

IF it works, Leo, why were you dealt the blow handed you?
The Emperor's New Clothes?

This is the kind of thing that is wrong with the US - ideas and laws are passed one
on top of another and at some point, the mole hill becomes the mountain. And the
behemoth sloth becomes even more dysfunctional. I don't care what party you
may belong to, it's the perpetual stupidity on the part of the people that has
to come to an end - they really need to pay attention to what's unfolding and
make the necessary changes. - not just voting but by voting intelligently.
The change isn't going to change anything. It's still a sluggish government
and it's costing people their lives.
And people simply don't care or are too dumbed down to grasp.

I am so reminded of Ancient Rome.

Ouch! Harsh, but true...

Yes, the people are stupid. And the government does our bidding...then we blame the government.

...What can you expect from a country founded by rebels ...

Some years ago DXP discussed how USA is a land of Aqua. This is why you Leos and Scorps can't understand it all.

(waiting for x to ask y it is on scorp board in first place)

I agree with that ^^ -- however, I would like to point out that the validity

of his birthdate has been contested for years, now.

I'd like to point out this thread. Which I am sure is not a figment of my imagination.

PS, Monty,
It's NOT his birthdate, but WHERE he was born. That's what's been contested.

Uncle Joe says buy a shotgun and blow their heads off.
That's about as Scorp as he gets.

Furthermore He's a back burner Scorp dancing with the Sag. yep, it's a firesign thing
and... he's a Democrat. Shouldn't be any wonder he's a bit windy.

Forget politics, focus on scientific progress and focus on the progress of the species as a whole. Not just 1 nation separated by imaginary barriers.

Agreed and good thread btw.

As for the birther nonsense, again, no other candidate and president in the history has been denigrated about his birth certificate. Mitt Romney and John McCain were both born outside the country...thats a fact...but President Obama's birth just happens to get questions.

I surmise that this tooics drives home Mr Firebird's point...voting intelligently. Until we get over things like bigotry, nothing changes.

Kid, that, in and of itself, is politics.
