"Politics is ugly stuff, always remember that the campaign adds are only meant for stupid people or the people who don't want to put the work in figuring out the politicians backgrounds."
Well said! Gullible, stupid and lazy voters are one of the reasons we are in the mess we are in today. The candidates and folks writing the propositions count on the collective ignorance of the masses. The same ad agencies who make you crave a Big Mac or get your kids hooked on sugar-packed breakfast cereals are plying their skills on behalf of the politicians this time of year. They are very good at what they do. The only way we can fight back is to do the research and QUESTION EVERYTHING! Even then, well informed, intelligent people will often come to different conclusions or disagree on what is best. I can live with that. Nobody gets it right all the time. We will probably get screwed anyway but let's not make it easy for them. Bob |

People shouldn't be turned off by Politicians who hate each other. Or when congress is stuck on a bill(s). Everytime they write and pass legislation it comes out of your pocket in some way shape or form. MLPA is perfect example of this... The more they fight, The more people disagree... the less it cost us in the long run, And the more freedom and opertunity you have for You and your family. Freedom is an individualist set of ideals. |

After watching the video, the point that got to me like a laser strike was that the parks run by private companies are incintified to deliver a quality product in order to bring in customers. The Government run parks have the exact opposite incentive. The more visitors they have, the farther they have to stretch their fixed funding. It makes sense to me. I am aware that some of the big National Parks, Yosemite comes to mind, have been managed by for-profit companies for years. The results have not always been great. Do they do a better job than the Government? Probably yes but greed is always a big factor. Yosemite under the Curry Company was a disaster. The new guys are better but not by much. Bob |

They both suck - but I think the lady might suck less.
