those damn religious conservators keep screwing everything up and keep us in the dark ages!!
Until our government is as old as others through out the world (i.e. Sweden as Skept mentioned) we are going to continue to have this ego of "we can "fix" anything" .... in some ways the American "can do" spirit is empowering but I see it in the long run as just a road block to our success as a nation.
We Americans buy into the idea of there is an answer to everything. Hell, most of the time I am clueless as to what the question is let alone the answers. The older I get the more clueless I feel .... what happened to the days when I knew it all?
Oh yeah now I remember I have a kid that knows it all so I can forget what I thought I knew so that he can tell me how much I don't know and if I just listened to him then I would know everything and then I would have all the answers to the stupid questions that I ask or the idiotic opinions that I have and then I wouldn't have to ask him what he thought or have a discussion that I was clearly underprepared for or that I know nothing about .... I'm not sure .... I better go ask him what I think ....
