Re: Re: A better way to vote
Late post here to these comments...
Who are "We the People"? It seems like "We the People" are pretty
divided....
>
the idea what We The People want them to do with OUR money.
OH yes... "We the People" seem to think that MOST money goes to foreign aid.
The fact that this has been disproven over and over does no good, it suits
the people's prejudice. as far as I am concerend there is ENOUGH pandering
to "We the People". It helps explain the last election
Polls show that "We the People", esepcailly in the "Red States" want a lot
of things, that I am willing to guess that you really don't. . Remember, we
are a Republic NOT a Democracy... Call me elitist but that is just a fact
"Our Glorious Government Workers"
Old hackneyed stereotyped scapegoat, That thinking is beneath you. Most of
those people work quite hard to support their families. And the ugly truth
is that this particular stereotype is based on people's reactions to most
urban government workers, and I wonder just what ethnic group they are. I am
not saying that you are guilty of such thinking, but that is the historical
and cultural root of that kind of thinking. It is CODE, which is how bigotry
is expressed in polite America. ( like "cultural elite" for Jews, and "moral
values" for gays.)
Besides, how many people who comment on "government workers" ever comment on
the government CONTRACT workers who labor on so many military boondoggles?
Not an easy target. It would be too impolite to question why.
Besides, this goes on everywhere. A member of our school board recently
lambasted the "lazy" classified employees of our District. Easy target. But
damn unfair. Those people are the backbone of our schools. But nobody would
EVER crticize us teachers. We are just sooo perfect, don't you know???? :)
We must be. We went to College unlike that riff-raff from Classified!!!!!
