Now we're having a good discussion. Thanks folks!

Welfare...those with real needs should be taken care of...in many cases that could mean retraining into a job they can do. The more people we have working the more money is being.

taxes...flat national income tax. Everyone helps foot the bill. No more IRS. A an amendment would be needed to outlaw reinstating the IRS or income tax.


Medicine...if laws would be enacted to outlaw frivolous lawsuits that would help keep costs down.

Education...schools are a mess. Get the governemnt out of them. Give us back out tax dollars. If you have no kids in school you don't pay into them. If you want your kid in school you pay for it and you take them where you want. If you are unhappy with a school, try another one. When your kid and your money walk away...the school will listen.

I do think we need to find a better way to protect the environment. Acid rain and pollutions certainly are real. I am not convinced either way on the global warming issue. The problem is we need a healthy balance between protecting the environment and the needs of society (and the means we need business). How do we get new energy? So many on the left want their cake and want to eat it. I think we need to open up our own natural gas and oil operations to create American jobs and American money while we also fund and develop alternative sources like nuclear power, ethanol, practical wind resources, etc.


Poly,
thanks for the input. I think at the basis we agree. We value all human life at the get go.

I haven't seen you do this on the boards but I see it a lot from the left....they spout off about their rights but as soon as a Christian states their opinion we are bigots etc. These are the people that preach tolerance but get extremely intolerant when someone disagrees with them. All I want is an open respectful discussion on the issues.
mont974x4 Reviewed by mont974x4 on . Why religion doesn't exist Recently I toked up a bowl and I thought wait a minute, religion can't exist and had to of been made up by man. Let's say there was a nuclear war and the entire human race was wiped out including all structures that humans made, and all the history as well. If there were two survivors who lost all memory, they would have no religion. If they had kids they would have to tell them that they don't know what happens when they die so you are going to have to wait and find out. I think religion Rating: 5
