i think there are alot of problems at home that need dealt with immidiately. the right to bear arms is nessary. the right to bear lethal arms is exsessive. also i think that nicotine and thc chemical should be legal in non smoking forms. so that smoking can be illegalized. another thing there is a great untapped manforce avaialable to revolutionize the transportation industry. quit spending so much time holding off the inevitable and start initiating change now. the german rumba system is a fantasic design and with the aggregate in the mountains and the rail system in tact i think we could make it happen

Posturing for us, like strutting roosters, Thats about I can say of our US politicians, Theres not one thing they can do about it yet they rave on contradicting each other and even themselves hoping to win a point in an election year, Let alone our leaders bumbling around we have wannabe leaders blindly shooting off their mouth in far away places and they dont even represent us (yet)
