Presidential Term Limit

i dont really agree with a term limit for a president... i believe that if a president is able to be elected for more then 2 terms doesnt he deserve to be there? it takes a lot of positive support in order to be elected! you can say it may turn into a monarchy or a dictatorship but in my opinion it never would. our country is full of people who stand up for wat they believe in and we wouldnt let one person rule our country. i believe the president must have done something right to be elected for a second term let alone a third or even a forth!

The FCC

According to the first constitutional amendment, Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. But how can the Federal Communications Commission fine public television for profanity...? It doesnt really make sense to me... it specifically states they can make any laws limiting your freedom of speech. I understand some words may be "inappropriate" but do you honestly think kids wont here these words sooner or later? bad words arent bad until we, as humans, say they are bad. Think of the word Dick.... as in detective. Its been in our language since the early 1900's but now when some one says that word it is used negatively. we alter the words on our own they were proble never supposed to mean what they do now. and for the fcc.... do something ppl actually care about bc with our generation curse words will just become commons words.

Swine!

So for those who don't know what the swine flu refers to influenza caused by any strain of the influenza virus endemic in pigs (swine). Swine flu is common in swine and rare in humans. People who work with swine, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine influenza if the swine carry a strain able to infect humans. However, these strains rarely are able to pass from human to human. Rarely, SIV mutates into a form able to pass easily from human to human. The strain responsible for the 2009 swine flu outbreak is believed to have undergone such a mutation.

This in my opinion is ridiculous... i went to my local Costco the other day and i saw a lady wearing a mask i thought to myself is that really affective? so i researched it... "Mexico has handed out millions of facial coverings, U.S. officials have held off, saying there is little evidence of their effectiveness. Some doctors warn they might even be harmful, causing people to take risks, like venturing into crowds or neglecting to wash hands, in the mistaken belief that the mask protects them."

Why wear the mask if its not going to help it makes no sense to me and it just seems like the african killer bees or even SARS.... what ever happened to SARS? i havent heard anyting since around 2003... i think this swine flu is going to die out as quick as SARS

Share the Wealth!

My question is why dont people such as 40 billion dollar Bill Gates, 37 billion dollar Warren Buffet, 22.5 billion dollar Lawrence Ellison or 17.8 billion dollar Jim Walton and family help us get out of this economic crisis? I know this is very democratic and they worked very hard to earn their money buttttt y cant they help our country when we need it? Bill Gates for example, made approximately 300 per second.... doesnt he want to help this country?

More "California Love"

How can people be so focused on a war in another country when we have so much war going on in our own? Everyday gang members fight for power, money, drugs and their lives. In 2001 53% of the homicides were gang related violence. These people don't know each other.... for all they know they could be related. Their minds are not on anything but killing and not being killed. These gangs reach out to anyone in their community because they want to be the most powerful. These gangs reach out to kids as young as 12!!!!! Can you imagine being in sixth grade and being scared for your life because kids around are in gangs and doing drugs? Gang violence not only affects the gang members but also the children of the members and the community which they live in. These parents are putting their children who they "love" in danger everyday. If they died who would be there to support them feed them grow up with them? Gangs are affecting the communities because they are putting drugs and weapons into the hands of minors. With so many drugs and weapons on the streets how are you going to keep it out of the hands of minors?

Terrorism livin' in her the u s a

"The Obama administration threw open the curtain on years of Bush-era secrets Monday, revealing anti-terror memos that claimed exceptional search-and-seizure powers and divulging that the CIA destroyed nearly 100 videotapes of interrogations and other treatment of terror suspects." (-By DEVLIN BARRETT and MATT APUZZO YAHOO!) Not looking too good for the supporters of Guantanamo Bay! This arises some serious questions of the Bush administration! This shows Obamas will to be open with the public on the things he supports.... This not only brings up the question of what where the interrogation tactics but also what did they find out? Was it something they didnt want the American public to know or was it they didnt want people to know of torture....

Raising Taxes!

i think it should a be mixture of tax increases and cutting spending. if the taxes are too high then some people will complain and if there is too many spending cuts then the others will complain. it is a matter of what the american citizens agree on and in my opinion it should be a mixture. the republicans refusing to increase taxes is ridiculous, because if they want our economy to rise then eventually you will have to help out and not just rely on the government to do all the work. i think the democratic view on more taxes and less spending cuts is reasonable, because they want to help by spending their money to help out our country.
