I too enjoy the fact that you are all energized to discuss this and other matters. In keeping with another thought above, I did again go to You Tube and then to Google ... looking, perhaps, for the appropriate video? Wow, there are tons. Just type 911 into the search box and you'll have plenty to view.

But, I didn't want to pick one because it might appear to "take sides."
The funny one would have been the best ô¿~
Why Do People Fight?
We don't have to call this a "fight" ... but ... if it is a fight then in this
case a part of the reason for the "fight" would apparently be ...
because they disagree.
I'm not sure that totally explains the emotion. One of the things
I would be most curious about, but suspect would be almost impossible to discover in this type of forum and maybe even any other type of forum ..
The personal experiences of Migya that incline him toward the
seeming "hate" type speech against USA. Are there personal experiences that ignite such passion from this point of view? Experiences of others?
I have many friends who might engage in similar thoughts. People who ICQ me constantly with the latest "revelations" ... about Bush. It's oh so easy and tempting just to join in. Yes, there are certainly some things I'm unhappy about with our current US situation ... and I confess, I liked
Bill Clinton. I think government worked a lot better for his eight years
than they have worked for the last 6. I thought he was a good "seminar leader" and was a better problem solver. And, I could have cared less
about Monica Lewinsky. {Close But No Cigar}
Bush ran on the notion that he was results oriented and should be judged on his results. But ... just as soon as I say that ... here come the Bushies
with what ... their "prejudices."
Why can't people talk politics without just automatically starting and
finishing with I'm this and you're that.
Do I really think these people are just total evil bastards?
Hard for me to go there.
I certainly agree humans could do better.
I certainly agree it seems like the US Government could do a LOT
BETTER ... and must I say ... especially lately ...
I just don't think the last 6 years have been all that cool.
I get really frustrated at the notion that Bob Dole ... the previous
candidate for Republican President became famous at the end for
coming within one vote of passing an attempted Constitutional Amendment
to balance the budget. I thought that extremely unwise. I also thought
it a waste of time, like I thought the two years they spent persecuting Clinton for being too sexy. A waste of time ... especially when so many
other problems got ignored ... continue to get ignored ...
All the passion that went into that "argument." Where did that go?
What does Bob Dole say about a balanced budget today?
Nevermind?
{For me, personally, the NOW biggie is how 'We The People' and me in particular has not been able to deal with Health Insurance.
My health insurance was $222 a month in 2002 ... Today it's $780 per month for less coverage. Hello ? How in the world does that happen? This is particularly offensive to me right now, because I keep seeing political commercials that SAY the candidate is going to do something about it / health insurance. One sentence, no plan, NO PLAN being discussed anywhere. That horse is out of the barn, has run 100 races, gone to stud 1,000 times and been put away dead. How did that happen I want to know ... answering ... because those folks really didn't take care of business, did they? The whole structure of health care sucks, makes no sense, obviously doesn't work except that if you go to the doctor you're likely to get taken care of whether you can pay for it or not. If you don't have insurance they'll send you a bill for $10,000. Number One Cause Of Bankruptcy
in USA ... people who get sick.
If you do have insurance the insurance company will pay a portion .... of their special negotiated price .... which is $800. And the Doctor, the guy doing the operation, will let you know that the really sad part is he's only getting paid $50.00.
And how many other forms of business have they not taken care of ... including creating peace in the world ... not war. And what happens when they don't take care of business? We all suffer ... except who? The health insurance companies? The drug companies? The oil companies? The construction companies? The Tel-Com's?
But, then, that's where we get our jobs ... or that's where we lose our
jobs to illegals from other lands.
So ...
When People Fight?
How do we organize the world so that their fights can be less
destructive? So they can indeed be more results oriented.
There I go again, asking too much of "the audience" except to say ....
I don't really know either.
For me, once again, we just gotta at least take the time to set goals,
to talk about goals, indeed to acknowledge goals ... even though we
don't currently have a clue how to get there.
We do need a government that protects us from enemies ... especially
those who are not inclined to engage in dialogue.
We don't want to get blown up while we're setting those goals.
We do want a government that set goals and makes plans ... so we
can judge them when we vote. We don't have that now.
I already sent in my ballot and voted for a number of people for the second or third or fourth or more{th} time.
Why did I do that?
Who else are you going to vote for ?
Do I vote?
You bet ...
Truer words were never spoken ... it is the least I can do.
Peace
Shoot Hoops Not Troops
Why do people fight? Because?
well said, socool - btw, Dole was also responsible for killing national health care after he had given his word to the Clintons he would make sure it passed, so there's some deep Karma for him to deal with
