The Exchange Rate Could Get Worse

[Jim]

I actually live in a Republican County. Where I live is very small and I really can't say poor but if you are making, $8 or more/hour, you are doing well.

I had to laugh at a letter to the editor in last night's newspaper. It was from a guy I know that lives in a 30 year old trailer and drives a 25 year old car most times pulling a trailer made from an old truck collecting junk. He complained about people around here backing away from our roots and people bitching about the President. Sometimes, I am sure I live in a county where the most stupid residents reside.

He forgets that the only thing that makes democracy work is speaking about our politicians while trying to get them to better our country.

More innocents are being killed in Iraq now then when Saddam was in charge. Fewer people children are in school. Fewer people have potable water, electricity, jobs and feel secure. by every standard they are in worse shape then before but when you read the blogs they speak highly about the freedom to voice their thoughts.

The most un-American thing to do is not speak about our political leaders and that is really the only thing that we can bring to the rest of the world.

You know you are singing to the choir

Oh man, freedom of speech is the cornerstone to Democracy. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but anyone who doesn't recognize or accept that principle when others exercise it has truly lost their sense of freedom.

Not true. We have brought Mc Donalds, and TV. Combine both of those and you have a winning combo.
