I agree that we need to do something different. Our government doesn't represent us, and frankly doesn't care who knows it. They have basically judged us too stupid to govern, so they will do it for us. Alan Keyes is a good candidate, but he gets no coverage, so most don't even know that he is an option. The media decides who will be promoted and who will not, and what the truth of the day will be. If we question the "truth", then we are dangerous, and should be watched, or worse. There are various groups forming around the country that are determined to get things back on a course more to their liking. There are several forming in the West over the government restrictions on land use and access, as well as water rights. Militias are growing by leaps and bounds all across the country, and are uniting into a national network instead of being isolated groups. The League of the South is gathering momentum each day. The LOS stated purpose is Southern Independence, ie, secession. Many of the Mexican immigrants we have coming into Texas state that they plan to "reunite" Texas, NM, Colorado, AZ, and anything else they want with Mexico. The previous president of Mexico stated that their purpose SHOULD be to reclaim the "stolen" lands from the US. And then we bailed them out financially. Still, the politicians are fiddling while the country threatens to go up in various flames from various sources. I doubt if there is a good, peaceful solution to the problems we are having.(posted 9649 days ago)As for the problems with cars, etc., costing too much for the average family to be able to afford without everyone working at least one job, the only way to force them to lower prices is to stop buying. Make do with the old car, or buy a used one. When demand lowers, so will prices. Believe me, there will still be some who will go on and buy the overpriced vehicles, so there will still be used ones available, at least for a while.
