[Politics] RNC

I don't really know what to say other than we as a people and the world can not have four more years of Bush and his administration. We need to fix taxation in this country, we need to fix the environmental regulations, we need to fix tolerance in this country or we will not have a country in the very near future. We need to break down the striations of the class structures so that we are all a bit closer. We need to do something about health care in this country (be it private or public, we all need it).

Geez why can't we all just get a long anymore?

Is this what the death of a Super Power looks like?

From my definitively biased viewpoint, it alarms me that so much of this convention (and of the Dem's convention, for that matter) focused on defaming the opponent rather than laying out detailed agendas. We are politically stuck in the sludge of the present, and will be adrift when asked to look to the future of this country. That is why we can only formulate reactionary response to real problems at home, rather than taking progressive action. (I'm leaving aside for the moment the significant world problems our most decisive actions have caused in recent years.) I'm beyond caring who fought where, who smoked crack, and who wavers more; I want someone who has a plan and who can get the job done with regard to all the things Geist mentions.
One brief, and more pragmatic, point: in high school, my world history instructor believed that widespread lead poisoning contributed to the (more or less) final destabilization of the Roman state;perhaps environmental concerns should weigh heavily on our minds for many reasons....
