And finally I would like to end my comments with...although I believe voting really doesn't make a difference, I still vote that way I can try to be a part of our Democratic society and if my vote is robbed from me then there isn't much I can do about it. at least I tried.

Yes, I voted for Obama and, yes, I am embarrassed!!! But I am also embarrassed by some of the other presidents I have voted for.
The question always is for me, which is the lesser of the two evils?

And in case you have never seen it. HBO released a documentary "Hacking Democracy" after Bush won and it showed how the electronic ballots could be rigged and ballots werent counted. (Not that I think we would have been any better off)
Politicians are corrupt and they work for the lobbyists and corporate america (if there is a difference between the two). Wake up America, we have no government looking out for us, they are looking to take our freedoms and get rich doing it!!!!

You should watch this video. It will wake you up to the reality that democracy is dead and there isnt a thing we can do about it. We think that by voting we are changing our country but after you watch it you will see the truth. Just google hacking democracy.

However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

I think George Washington knew what was coming for the American people a long time ago, but no one wanted to listen to him.

Ignorance is bliss!!!! Both sides keep throwing insults at each other, all the while completely ignoring the fact that the majority of all our elected officials are "politicians" in cahoots together to get the rest of us. Neither Republican or Democrat care about any of us. This boat called America has been sinking for a long time now and the ones with the life jackets are the politicians. It isn't just Obama's fault...it is every stinking politician we have had for quite some time now. And the best thing about a politician is they know how to divide us the American citizens against each other so we don't focus our attention on them. "It's about racism, no it's about socialism."
Remember the phrase "divide and conquer." Frankly, I believe that Obama was the fall guy for a mess we have been in for some time now. What a better way to elect a black president who is going to have to deal with the fallout of getting us out a war, inherit the beginning bailout of Wall Street that Bush started before he left, and a growing recession. He is in a no win situation in a country that is color blind and doesn't want to discuss racism. we also built this country on religious freedom and accepting other races and cultures but we don't practice what we preach.

The billboard is just a way to divert the attention from the bigger problem. It isn't Republican or Democrat, it is the politician!

It amazes me that everyone is so quick to dismiss these teens. Granted, teens can often act like spoiled brats, maybe there really is something to this story. I applaud them for being loyal to a fellow player who may have been discriminated against in some way. I checked out the link from stupendous and it seems these students had a valid reason for quitting. Good for them for standing up for each other and the rules that the adults should have been adhering to.

We as adults should be concerned when you have 15 players quitting because of a teacher/coach. I had a coach in high school that always bullied and belittled the weaker kids and at least these players were being loyal to each other and trying to get their voices heard. we should always listen to our children before jumping to conclusions such as they are probably spoiled. That is why a lot of kids don't tell when they are being hurt.

Has everyone on here gone mad????? Does no one believe that there is an appropriate age to teach your child about drugs, sex, and profanity and that that should be up to the parent who brought the child into the world? Fine, throw your child to the wolves (AKA: school system) and let them decide what to teach your child.

What does whether I have read the bible or not have anything to do with the point I was making that all parents should have a right to decide what they allow their children to read or be exposed to?

This is about allowing parents to choose what is appropriate for an age group of children and not allowing a school to make that choice.

I simply stated in an earlier post that if there was a rating system applied to books then no book would have to be banned because the child would have to be the appropriiate age to check out the book.

It absolutely scares and baffles my mind at the things we expose children to these days. While I know it is a lot of different factors that have caused the issues we are having with children these days, I just cant believe people are so willing to expose children of any age to drugs, sex, and profanity. Where did morality go? Why cant children just be children and sheltered from adult issues? No wonder we have 8 year olds getting pregnant, teens beating up others and posting the videos on utube, kids killing kids in the public school!

What parent would walk out to their car, realize their baby was in a hot car for hours, and not take them to the doctor to be checked? What parent wouldnt feel like the worst piece of pooh for forgetting their child that they would take them to daycare and not leave work to be with their child? That is why people are judgmental. His actions didnt show the good in him!
