He refered it to “The United States of Amnesia”. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love America as much as any other citizen does, and am extremely proud of all of our accomplishments, BUT I do have to agree with this statement. We do need to wake up and recognize the past so we may move on with our future.

Thanks for these examples of political bloggers to inspire me! :D

One of the most hotly debated politiccal topics of our day is the legal drinking age. Recently raised to 21 we all must question ourselves. Has this policy worked? My opinion is NO! The fact is man can not help but rebel against the goverment its in our nature. Try as they might the goverment cannot stop young adults from illegaly obtaining alchohol. But what if they could? would it work? 21 is long after most americans obtain a drivers license thus they feel confident about their driving and dont believe alchohol will seriously hinder them, causing them to excesively drink and then drive which is how most drinking deaths occur. I would suggest that wer lower the age to at least 15 thus giving people experience on the effects of alchohol before they can drive!

Thank you for your political insights, however, these challenges are meant to be written on your blog. While I appreciate you using this blog as a platform for your views, your comment isn’t inline with the challenge. If you do not have blog, I recommend WordPress.com as they are free and easy to use, and this blog is hosted by them. If I can use it, anyone can. :D

Thanks.

I just wanted to point out some necessary things. I think by now its important that both sides stop staying why you shouldn’t vote for the other guy, instead they should tell us what they plan to do. McCain and Palin claim to bring change but when McCain agrees with Bush 95% of the time during voting. What kind of change can we expect? I believe McCain will bring a change, with his current views and decision making. He will change our economy, worsening it more and more. He would change unemployment, taking it to an all time high. As for Palin, she was a mayor of less than 10,000 people. How much experience does she really have, she has no room to be criticizing anyone on experience…

[Edited]

…The economy should be the focus, not don’t vote for the other guy. I’m not trying to sway anyones vote, all I’m saying is vote for someone you want in office and not to vote against someone based on what the other guy says…

I would like someone to explain to me why when a black person calls another person a “nigger” the media, and society as well does not view this as a racist epithet. In fact society is an autonomy preceived, diametrically wielding a sword of susceptance to quickly condone or ostracize. The focus remains on the individual and not the act of the horrific epithet leveled. My premise is this, any person who uses such condemning language is guilty of the same offense, regardless of their ethnic or genetic orientation. When responsibility and acceptance are shouldered with the heart as well as the mind then and only then can this society move on to it’s envisioned placed as Dr. King saw it.
