believe what Track said that race will always be an issue is a truism... we all tend to be ethnocentric-like what we are-prefer it, like less-trust less, etc. that which is different, breaks along lines of race culture-religion-politics on and on... now does exist in degrees from mild to overt hate-desire to destroy what is different.... being proud of what we are is important, but hating those that may be different is a negative... my way is the right way-only way-others who differ always wrong, can see that consistently reading posts on this board...
what Track says about tolerate, not really trust does have merit on a general level, may not apply on personal levels... believe today a lot of what divides is economics-scare resources with plentiful demands, just not enough to go around and this acts to divide-not unite, always going to be this way, just a fact-reality of human existence, always going to be those that have and those that do not...
if had the opportunity to sit down and have a beer with the president would tell him that hope and pray that his administration is successful and able to do the best for this great nation, but that his ideas-thoughts-policies are not the only ones and that the ideas of others should always be sought-encouraged-incorporated... don't just talk the talk, but walk the walk when it comes to bi-partisanship, put the needs of the nation 1st and always, never poltical agenda.... keep the nation strong-safe, always protect it and treat those who do so with great repect-dignity... involve those that have the real expertise-for example health care pros., not just the political hacks and the vested interests that support them to help develop a health care system that will work best.... promote education, but not just $$$$ without outcome, cut gov't. spending period- smaller gov't. that is more responsive-less expensive... balance budget period.... institute a tax system that works- fair tax or flat rate income, all pay period- no tax dodges-write-offs that favor anyone... support capitalism-promote it, but provide needed regulation to keep it strong, self-regulation has proven to be a failure... be future looking, but with an eye on what has taken us to where we are now... green technology is key, but with thought-planning-co-operation of all involved.... deal with social security-medicare, etc... a must.... defend the constitution, follow it, especially the bill of rights that establishes-protects personal liberty... provide for equal access to opportunity, but not favor one group at the expense of another.... jobs-jobs-jobs, work with all involved to create more-better.... use common sense to solve common problems... stay grounded and in touch with those who live on mainstreet.... protect the environment, but be realistic, cap and trade needs evaluation, sounds good to incoporate market place in this endeavor, but don't want to creat a greater another problem.... sure there are many other issues that are important as well... always ask is this something I would want for myself-my family as well as the other citizens of this great nation.... by the way drink Stag beer....
