Things been pretty bad for you though, eh? Why do you think the president
can change things for you?

Stephen


Wrong again Stephen. Things have been very, very good for me and mine.
That's not the point. Do you think Bush and Company had nothing to do with
the last seven years?

Stephen
It seems that in history, a society or country is judged by its
actions and impact upon and relationships with those around it. If you
are personally very happy with the US role and actions in the world
and with the performance and end state of the US economy as it is
today, regardless of its impact upon you and your pocket, then for you
the Bush government must be a good one.

Then there is morality and the judgment of history. Maybe it may take
a different view. What did the Bush government do to improve the lot
of its citizens? War on drugs? - drug use is increasing. War on
terror? citizens now seem more paranoid and afraid yet they are no
safer. More jobs? No, unemployment is constantly on the rise.
Housing?, Welfare safety net improved? Education? Less taxes?
initiatives for greener, less polluting technology? Morality? What is
moral about invading another sovereign state on a trumped up litany of
lies without the given consent of the other member states of the UN to
make your mates rich?

I can't personally think of anything they did do excepting kill off a
few more of its disadvantaged youth and discredit the USA in the eyes
of the rest of the world. Its citizenry abroad are now far less safer
than they were under Bill Clinton.
