They appear to be so hung up with national pride that it doesn't let them focus (and therefore fix) internal problems. You've been telling yourselves that having no public healthcare is good for so long, that now you honestly believe it. You've convinced yourself that allowing all your citizens to own guns is a really good idea,
I admit things all the time . I don't know about the healthcare thing. I mean it sounds like a good idea actually, as long as i dont have to pay for it if I want to do private healthcare. I don't know if another gov't program would help though (as if we need another one).

BUT the gun thing, I stand FIRM with. I will never, ever, give my gun to the government because they think it will be safer. This will lead to unarmed violence where the criminal is the only one with a gun. I will, as many others, illegally own a gun as will the criminals that use them for bad reasons. You CANNOT send a persons self defence 2 and 3 centuries behind that of a criminal. Its insane. You would have to change something else. You can't take away the 2nd ammendment. Why not raise the price of a bullet or something. Don't screw around with what makes this country golden.

Bush vs. Kerry
Kerry owned Bush first round, I'd say tie second and Bush won 3rd. Nuff said, doesn't matter anyways. It looks like Bush is going to go in 4 more years. I hope we are closer to getting out of Iraq than we are today because its looking mighty bleak as it is now. We will undoubtedly(sp) be going to Iran or some other country. And from the looks of it, terrorism will never sease. As long as someone knows how to make a pipebomb, were screwed. Just kill as many as you can when they pop up.
