...Hello Brown

Tarun,

I would hardly call CAFTA and NAFTA an "even hand" by Bill, suffice to say, the only way from the "rut" we find ourselves in due to the Bush Administrations raping of Americans rights and pilaging of foreign resources and money is up and out. The Dems already have the majority in the Congress, Scooter Libby is going to jail, Cheney was Subpoenaed today, and the wrongs that the apathetic and feer-ridden American public have allowed Cheney, Bush, and all of the pathetically obtuse and corrupt Republicans to propogate for the last 7 years are beginning to turn right by the hand of the Dems, and people who actually care. Politics is cyclical, and always has been. The real problem lies in the American people. I don't think that "shouting in the wind" is an accurate description what the liberals and progressives have been trying to do since the war in Iraq. I'm hopeful and optomisitc that change will and is currently taking place in order to right our standing with the rest of the world and restore people's faith in our country as a country of peace and prosperity FOR ALL(not just the elite or members of the Bush family and the Carlyle group). The American people need to have a fundamental change in their axiom of thought. If we don't shout no one will hear us.

The media doesn't help the American people's inherent apathy by it's 24/7 coverage of Anna Nicole Smith's OD, or Paris Hilton going to jail, rather than reporting on real things that actually affect all of us , like the 3,500 dead American soldiers and their families, or the lack of health coverage for Americans, and the growing income gap between the rich and the poor, not to mention the genocide in Darfur...blah blah blah. I think that last time the world had a genocide (Rwanda), after looking back the majority of Americans share great regret for not taking action or encouraging the Clinton administration to do something. Let's hope that Americans grow some balls, and start to care and do. If we don't act, our opinoins mean nothing. We might as well listen to Brittany Spears (see Farenheit 9/11). Yes, the Bush Administration has done so much damage to our Country from a domestic and foreign viewpoint, some irrevocable, and some not, that we all fell like we've been put thru the ringer, but it's never to late to make a change. All I'm saying is that yes, we speak with our vote as a people, but real change initiates from action. I think that we can right the ship so to speak, and I'm not afraid that Putin , or Kim Il-Jong are going to attack us. The Dems don't have it all right, but neither does the structure of American democracy. Real change initiates from within. Grassroots baby! ....now I'm rambling, but you get the point....

I'm getting tired too. Any responses?
