JoeUser ForumsIt is not as though most of the federal budget goes to roads and schools. And the second half of that is pretty tragic if you ask me.

This was pretty tight..especially the notion of big/small government. There are a lot of ideological misconceptions in the major parties regarding how each views the ideal size of government, or rather, what constitutes a big or small government.

Why ya always slingin dis raps, when you can see no part of me has time for this crap, just work on your form and your flow, and when the time comes to drop you on your ass on the floo' you'll be the first to know, look at the clock, quit smokin' the rock, and pay your dues, your rhymes are outdated and overused, maybe you're too old yourself and a bit confused, win or lose...

Gideon, I'd be nervous to say that "I'm a Green," but only because I like to keep a soft cushion if ever the part does something, or pushes some agenda that I don't approve of (wimpy, I know). However, I have traditionally voted Green in my short voting career and would be happy to join such discussions when I get time, just link me in the right direction. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-T

PolMach ForumsThere's more to politics than the presidency. If 3rd parties were serious about getting involved in the process they'd start building their parties from the grassroots up. You're absolutely 100% right and there is a lot of separation in "major" third parties right now. (major in quotes for obvious reas

No worries Mig, this is definitely a thick cloud in my mind that I have to devote a lot of time to thinking about before I can begin to see through it and start participating in the discussion again. I mostly put this up here as a hope to spur other discussions away from notions of elections and the war on terror among other things that I'm just a little burnt out on. I used to be a philosophy nut. In fact, I have numerous volumes of works in my apa

I wonder how many college seniors could label all 50 states correctly. But it really comes down to applicable intelligence. But I suppose the topic at hand is voting... The difficulty in voting intelligence has many challenges. First off is sorting out what information is relevant about a candidate, the second, what information is even true? Will Bush's poor vocabulary reflect upon his ability

The only reason anyone knows who Rudolph Guiliani is is because of Sept. 11th. I had a discussion with someone last night that was frustrated by how many people vote for incumbents just because they hadn't heard anything bad about them. I think this is a voting strategy too often used by the masses.

Erik's Reply This will probably keep snowballing, but it's the most intelligent verse i've participated in in some time. If we decide then that "destiny" is simply the outcome of one's life, and not how or why they have arrived at this end, can we then call it destiny? Is destiny a dead word? Is it simply a fairytale for those of lesser fortune to keep on hoping there is more? Let's assume here that dest

I sure would like to know who this nobody important is...but alas, I remain appreciative and curious. I was really happy with the line "everything you weren't, but nothing that you are." This really speaks to how I feel about it and I haven't been able to express anything so accurately in a long time.

Sorry for lack of response guys, apparently my alerts aren't working right now. I really appreciate the visits since it's been pretty d'ern lonely roun' these parts. I think I might be focused to much on the past right now, but when you're not making to much progress on your future it's sometimes nice to remember how easy it all used to be.

It's a terribly depressing thing to discuss but I'm not sure telling everyone to vote is the thing that will solve our democratic problems. How about some honest dialogue about candidates, league of women voters perhaps...and why do we even vote for judges who we're not allowed to know anything about before hand?
