And I'm in favor of national healthcare anyway, espcially now that I only have the pathetic and over-priced sort of health insurance of the self-employed. I don't know the answer, though - we sure have a mucked-up system as it stands now.CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136201152682543365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29630765.post-63491626839422114242007-11-26T12:01:00.000-08:002007-11-26T12:01:00.000-08:00Hi billy, others...It isn't so much the man ROn Pa...Hi billy, others...<BR/><BR/>It isn't so much the man ROn Paul, that I am in favor of, it is the idea that a retraction of the Federal notion is needed in this country. <BR/><BR/>For example, let's say I agree socially with Joe Biden on everything he believes, abortion, war issues, what ever, and I vote for him and he wins the presidency by 51%. What I still get is a system that is unresponsive to my needs, even though I got what I wanted. The power structure is too far away, too out of touch with anything I run into in my life. And yet they control my libraries. They control my local Sherriff's funding. They control the forests that surround me. Like Costanza, I'm all about the shrink factor.Scott from Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01331284708780612453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29630765.post-13554003474046284952007-11-26T11:38:00.000-08:002007-11-26T11:38:00.000-08:00Ron Paul is not my first choice ... but I'd sure a...Ron Paul is not my first choice ... but I'd sure as hell vote for him over others.

There were about 1500 students then. There were, of course, the "popular" kids. But for the most part their group was not exclusive. There were no firm boundaries. Popular definitely did not mean snotty. It also did not mean rich. Or even good looking. It did mean they were likable. There were about 4 brown nosers that kept themselves apart from everyone else. Perhaps I was imagining this but I was very insecure yet never ever felt rejected by anyone there. Then we moved to a smaller town/smaller school. Cliques everywhere. And I could not be in any of them.<BR/><BR/>But good analogy anyway. Perhaps we should be able to vote which party we want in control of which issues. That would make life interesting.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29630765.post-89604281416510411312007-11-26T04:42:00.000-08:002007-11-26T04:42:00.000-08:00I don't normally chime in on the political posts b...I don't normally chime in on the political posts but boy howdy you are right on with the high school clique parallel~~Cheesyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099545260198846488noreply@blogger.com
