What have you learned these past two years?

[Dawgs]

Or, what is the most important thing facing this country, and how do we fix it, based on what you've seen these past two years?

For me, it's about getting Democrats (mostly liberal progressives) in power and keeping them there. It will be a very slow next two years, so I think all of our focus should be on getting Democrats elected in 2012. It seems like it's something we forgot after 2006 and 2008.

If not, nothing changes or gets accomplished.

3. I would not be presumptious enough to think what I have seen is the same as any effects.

However in personal observation, beer and travel money that is due has not yet arrived.

I still think it is mostly censorship issue, or backwards people and how they see things.


It could also be people that think 'if they can do it then it is correct' that thought leads to not having to ever do anything you think is better, since if it was suppose to be done, God would find a way for it to be done. Those that would think that way would simply say if I was suppose to have beer and travel money, I would have it here, and furthermore, if they did not stop people that would correct that issue, then that would show that some of my comments may be correct from there method of evaluations.

To support their view, when I do not support their view, they have to keep from me, what they think is the factor of judging worth of someone that thinks like I do, or they have to say that my thoughts on topics are given value only by their method of judging success, something like material success. They have to say because I do not have beer and travel money, that I must be wrong, therefore they have to spend energy to keep beer and travel money from me. Which is funny, and is the concept of fixing a problem by making it bigger, much bigger.


On a side note I have flaws also, so it doesn't bother me, even though the beer and travel money is due and will arrive.



I have learned many things. I still have thoughts and feelings, and I have complete recall of my entire life and what I do when I do it. Although sometimes I have to think about some areas, I have no blank spots in memory. And I have a valid claim that when ignored creates a bigger claim with cascade effect, even if I don't hold anyone to a debt.

And I have a great future ahead for me :D

4. That governing is balls-out hard and I don't envy Obama his job.

[PassingFair]

5. That we need a populist third party.

The two that we have are screwing us blind.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. That corporations have a complete stranglehold on Washington's politicians

The capital has become a corporate playground and they will get their way no matter what.

[ProSense]

7. That

despite the accomplishments (here, here, hereand here), more needs to be done. Job creation needs to be a priority. In the process, the mortgage crisis needs to be addressed.

[BlueIris]

8. Emotional blackmail is the most effective bargaining tool.

Works equally well on Democrats and Republicans.

[texshelters]

9. Having a real jobs promotion and ending the

corporate take over the U.S. democracy (and the wars) is more important than electing Democrats. But, if we need to push more progressives to get that done, let's go!

10. I've learned that if you're sitting at a poker table with a stacked deck,

it's probably not in your best interest to ask for another hand. An exercise in futility, some might say.

11. The take-over is complete, this country is owned

body and soul by coporations no matter what party is in "control".
