  this is a melancholy day for me.

  over the past few years i have been studying american politics and have enjoyed learning perspectives from different ideologies.

  i personally lean towards conservative values when it comes to creating legislature, however i am socially liberal.

  New chapter. Your vitriol suggests that you don't forget. One more time I apologize for past offenses. I hope you bury the hatchet soon.

  True, basic education (K-12) is absolutely necessary and should be covered by everyone who can contribute, but where do you set the limit to all the freebies that the citizenry has come to expect from big brother. Common sense dictates that you acquire the goods and services that you can afford, no more. The American citizenry has gone way over budget and has burden generations to come. That's immoral.

  By the way, I do live in a figurative bubble. Almost everyone around me owe their house, or their cars, or have credit cards maxed out, or are not prepared for retirement, or have to borrow for their children's higher education. Not I. I have zero debt and don't expect to have any until the day I die. I am not rich, but I live by a philosophy of self sufficiency and personal responsibility. I suppose in the U.S. that makes me weird, strange, a bubble dweller.

  Um correct me if I am wrong but dems (and especially Obama) Have ADOPTED republican programs and bills to get them to sign on and than the repubs WALKED AWAY from legislature they initially sponsered?!?

  Well that's too much truth for the righties to handle Darth.

  By "studying politics" he apparently means swallowing every utterance of the right wing media like a baby bird swallows whatever it's mother regurgitates.

  have you ever read "no blade of grass," "on the beach" or "the satan-bug?

  " i have a feeling it wouldn't hurt to reread those old novels.. folks around here argue about gmo foods, for instance, without realizing that one of the main problems with gmo is lack of diversity, dangerous if a disease comes along that kills the main crops of the world.. and people seem to have forgotten that humans could indeed destroy themselves completely, if someone starts a nuclear war.

  they always seem to think there could be survivors of an all-out nuclear war.

  I realized as I am getting older, that people are really just mean, I had a very naive view of the world, now I see the world for what it is a true cesspool of hatred and violence.

  People to me are like fleas.They need to done away with.

  I am so damn angry becuase I am struggling with school and I feel my math professor does not understand. I am so pissed off, college feels so worthless. I AM ANGRY.I feel like screw it all . Life is so damn unfair it is F**** unfair.

  Life is hard so you have given up on humanity????? You're frustrated about college? You are lucky to be IN college! Life is what you make it, and humanity is every person you come in contact with. How dare you assume that humanity is a cesspool when you haven't bothered to look at it?

  Yet you are calling out others asking them specifically what they are doing of the Carribbean in this incident. Your railing against a government that gives as much more more foreign aid than any nation on the planet. Your not looking for the media spotlight but trashing the media for reporting on other things. So how about you take your own advice and stop worrying about what other people and nations do or don't do and concentrate on doing the best that YOU can do.

  Hear hear!!
