I don't know if I agree with Guest7969 that there is a "Socialist" agenda out there. It seems to me that democrats are being democrats, thinking that big government will solve everything. (although in the past few years, the republicans seemed to have been on that same track, they just complain about it when it isn't their idea) But I do agree with him/her that apathy is one of this country's biggest problem. I hear they have found a cure for apathy .......... but nobody cares.
