I admire your idealism but I don't think we are to that point yet. The world has not changed THAT MUCH since 1941.
There are still plenty of people in the world who would be delighted to kill you where you stand regardless of how much forgiveness and empathy you offer them.
The fact that you or I see no reason for any nation to make war upon another does not mean everyone else sees the world as we do.

It is your representatives in those hallowed halls that draw fat paychecks and generous retirements, while there are people here in this land of plenty who put their children to bed without supper.

The 9/11 Conspiracy stuff is unknown to most and only believed by a tiny handful of people in this country. They are very vocal so it may seem as though there are many, but that is just not true. Of course they don't want others to know that because it takes away some of their self-perceived power.

You get what you deserve. Start off by electing a proper president , because bushes, and Reagan and others were jokes right?.
Stop going to war with third world countries, that doesn't earn you respect either. Also please tone down the bible thumping. Most of the world doesn't care about your god. Europe is being atheised, and the rest is either muslim or buddhist.

We must, as a matter of conscience, decide if liberty is worth our all. Not all, our ALL. We must decide if the cause of justice and truth are so important that we will risk even our very lives to support it. We must decide if we are worthy to be the heirs of our founding fathers.
It is not enough to support freedom, to believe in justice for all, to speak the words of of liberty. There comes a time when action is demanded of the souls of men. When nothing less will be accepted. Our nation is now at that crossroads where this must be decided.

Libra, the answer is simple, return to the Constitution. Argue and change all you want. fix or unfix whatever. But do it all under the framework of the greatest document so far devised by man.

Right On! the answer to our problems isn't to run away, but to go back to our roots as a country. America has a rich history to draw from and learn from. The answers we need to fix this mess are in the Constitution. As Americans, out nation and it's government belong to us, The People of the United States of America! We built this nation over the generations with good citizenship. It's OUR country, and these are OUR problems. Let be mature about this. We can't run away from something that we as Americans helped to create.
It time to STOP running from these problems and START solving them! Every generation since 1776 has done this, Now it it OUR turn!
