But who cares?  Most people are only preoccupied by
their job, their fav. sport team or the soap opera shows

Okay, I'm not exactly sure what angle you're
coming from, but I'm just hoping you're not
acting on the implication that 'most people'-
I'm assuming you mean american - spend their
time watching TV or preoccupation with a job.

I can't understand your job 'problem'...would
you really want someone working, or out in
the streets, failing to contribute? Or is too
much effort placed into a job a poison to
society? Sheesh...that thought scares me...

So, I'm american! Does this fact automatically
imply that I spend constant time affront my
television? That's nonsensical! You'd be
surprised to know my television viewing time is
lower than two hours a week...I'd like to see
someone my age beat that!

oligarchy, almost inaccessible to your average joe.

Think church and community groups, non profit
organizations. For the average citizen, the way
into a public office is from the bottom up,
starting with tenacity and a coherent agenda.

to anything thrown at me. I've had enough
of this nonsense.

(...) I'm sorry you feel insulted for so little, especially since you said yourself you "assumed" I was talking about Americans, while I was talking about anyone in N. America or Europe. Now, I didn't include you in the 95%, so I don't see why you (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I would also add that even the people that make these laws and acts don't truly understand the meaning of them. When the founding fathers of the USA wrote the constitution, they understood far more than the present govt what "rights" mean. The (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
