While you do make somewhat of a point there Affliction I wouldn't go so far as to compare American propaganda with that of a communist country. I do say that I disagree and agree with the letter at the same time. I don't think putting up a 50ft wall complete with murderholes and all will solve illegal immigration but we could definitely be spending the money from the war on other things. Call me gay but shouldn't the whole world deserve clean drinking water by now? We can send a friggen satelite to pluto but we can't give people water? Come on now.
I think dropping out of every organization that includes developed countries is a HORRIBLE idea. You can't expect them all to go with us on this thing. I think if anything we need to re-establish good relationships with these countries, France,Germany, Russia, etc. The U.N. has the ability to change the world in such a good way we just need to start acting.
Rather than dick around in Iraq or something maybe we could've saved a couple lives in Darfur or sent more medical supplies and aide to those who needed after the tsunami a few years back.
Please my Canadian friends don't give up on us just yet, We can still right this ship and who knows maybe with some fresh blood in the White House we can get going sooner than expected. I like what both Obama and McCain have to offer. I respect McCain for his service and military prowess. I respect Obama's ideals and plans for the future plus a black president would be such a giant step forward for civil rights!!
Sorry for the goat post here but I can't help myself.
Good points, Prane. Canada has all the fresh, clean water that we can handle.
