To: Amy J who wrote (215949 ) 1/25/2005 9:42:39 AM From: Road Walker Respond to Amy, How you doing?Could it be that Voters will eventually bankrupt their democracy, if the system permits only those politicians to remain in office that vote yes to more spending and more tax cuts. So, will intellectualism ever make a come back (I refer to well thought out and discussed theories), or is intellectualism gone for good. People are too busy to "think." The one line slogans rule America. We've gone consumer as a country. Marketing dictates the course of action, not intellectual thought based on information, but paid advertisers (or paid lobbyists) decide our future. Btw, did anyone ever thank you for paying for their children's school tuition by way of your tax money? How can a person complain about paying taxes while in the same breadth not say thank you for a benefit they obtain from a tax, especially when asked to show some level of appreciation? But if the govt introduced a military draft, then we'd see a lot of people get involved. Here's my take on Congress - there isn't a soul that represents people in my age group (as far as I know, okay there might be one or two people), so you've got a situation where boomer congress is laddling my generation with more and more debt, while not considering our well being whatsoever.
