I don't think I said it was the worst thing I could imagine. I think the question was why is there no descent candidates. I can think of a lot worse things that are going on in this country. Also, I may not be understanding your post, but my point WAS that the two party standard(it's not written into the constitution that there must be only two parties) should be changed.And I think you're missing my point. When there are only two parties that means there is ONLY ROOM FOR TWO POINTS OF VIEW IN THE POLITICAL ARENA. There is so much middle ground to be covered. Take social security for an example. Right now there is a huge debate over whether or not to privatize it or not. There isn't another point of view, no other plan, no other solution to the problem. Maybe there is a third option that no one is thinking of or talking about. The country gets caught up in hating the point of view of the other guy, that they never get anywhere. President after president, year after year...things never really change. And this president, who originally ran as a president that would bring everyone together has done more to divide this country than any other president. Like Bill Maher said: "When did this country become Utah?" I really do hope there is a huge backlash on the conservative Christian Right. I hope they pull Jerry Fallwell off his fat ass and drag him into the streets and burn him alive.
I know that last part was irrelevent...I just wanted to say it.
The two party system is indeed one of the worst things that can happen to a country... Besides minor differences the two party's aren't even that different. Democrates are more like the Republicans then they should be. It doesn't really matter who you vote for not much will change besides things going on right now. And those will only change a small bit, as not to piss of the other side too much.

If you won't bother using your brain, don't bother using your heart or lungs, either.

Damnit. I'm really pissed now.
Things I believe Bush should do:
1. Pull troops out of Iraq.
2. Work more with supply-side economics.
3. Stop the illegals from entering the country.
4. Leave Iran be for the time being and focus on North Korea.

First off, it's FeceMan. Not face. Not fece-space-man, and certainly not face-space-man. FeceMan. Like biological waste? That's why I'm living in a toilet bowl. There's a whole story behind the name, but I sincerely doubt that anyone cares.
Can I just call you 'Shit'?
Sorry, I couldn't help it.

FeceMan, do you not think USA would be better off just pulling out of other countries all together and concentrate on the problems in itself such as -
[list]gun problems
crime problems
drug trafficking
social welfare
etc[/list]
As opposed to spending tons and tons on a war that is not necessary - noone is threatening America, so why not just let it be?

Honestly, everyone here calling me 'shit' wouldn't bother me nearly as much as Jackie's posts. It's so stupid that, in a message board that talks about the most sensitive and controversial issues, I don't get half as pissed at anyone BUT her. Her posts have this way of completely infuriating me to the point where I want to grab her face with both hands, hold it level, staring into her eyes, and scream random invectives at her just to see if she understands me.
Why haven't you put her on your ignore list?? That would solve the problem right from the start..
