Again. Another post that shows that you are a severe pessimist. You can't see the possibilities in the world. If you ever want to be a leader of people, then you have to see the possibilities. Otherwise, you will always just be a hapless critic, never satisfied with anything anyone else does, but too lethargic to do anything about it yourself. Dude, there are times to experience flights of fancy and there are times to be a realist. Your timing is way off. Socrates once said that the tragedy of the good man who fails to get involved in politics is that he will be ruled by evil men. I have done my measure of good works for this society. Any time you want to pull out your list I will be glad to match you. Blind criticism without solutions is worthless, because no one will follow you and you'll be doomed to be ruled by evil men. I had a solution.......do not invade Iraq and go under cover to catch bin Laden. You all laughed. Who's laughing now? The BIG idea is not always the best one. The Democrats and yourself are learning this very harsh lesson. Until the Democrats and people like yourself can learn to see the possibilities again, you will continue to abdicate your true role in this country's politics. The result will be that this country may just see a continuing era ruled by neocons. So get your act together, because I certainly don't want to see that happen. I'd rather see this country move right back to the middle. There will be a civil war before there is any more rule by the neocons. This attempt to make the US a greater TX will fail. Trust me! You clearly do not understand how many of us feel.
