like Bruce Ive been around awhile and can assure you that IMO things are very much worse today.Late 50's to the 60's and even early 70's there seemed to be an optimisim then it all went to hell in a handbasket,Many reasons I suppose 70's Oil crisis, strikes.Mass unemployment and 18 years of Margaret Thatcher and 8 years was it of Ronald Raygun(pun intended).Don't have experience of what you guys went through over there but it was fucking grim over here.
But is'nt 60 mins cnn fox etc etc etc what they call choice!!!!!
Cable tv/satellite its complete overkill,you can pick up thousands of channels on the box but there's still naff all to watch,thats why there are people like us nattering away on message boards chatlines blogs etc because we are looking for something better?
My opinion of politicians has been posted before Fuck Em, completely ignore the bastards its all ego with them.
If it was'nt why is that independant democrat running over there which will split the vote,if he really wanted rid of Bush he would'nt risk splitting the vote..EGO!
Politicians want the public to be numb and cynical lets them get on with watever grubby business is on their agenda,they are going to do it anyway because the lie is that the vote changes things,it does'nt..
