Reason being is that politicians are too scared to have a solid public opinion on them so they put them to a vote to save political face. <BR/><BR/>Like matt said, the media is extremely biased. Look at how much revision has gone into Ben Bagdikian's Media Monopoly since the Fourth Edition came out in '92. Even NPR is now owned by big business, which is no big surprise seeing how watered down their stories are. <BR/><BR/>CNN ass hat is right. I think that FOX wears a bigger hat though.R.Matthew Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657333487423493233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27076824.post-60710525000705292182008-07-29T09:58:00.000-06:002008-07-29T09:58:00.000-06:00You have some quality points. Just this last weeke...You have some quality points. Just this last weekend I watched V for Vendetta. Similarities. <BR/><BR/>I personally see that that the media is very biased. They did not give "fair" coverage to all the candidates. <BR/><BR/>Another problem is that this country is so diverse in everything that just about anything can be considered legal and appropriate with in some reason, thus causing great conflicts. Conflicts equate to nothing getting done because of the legal system because everyone feels a moment of self entitlement because of this diversity.<BR/><BR/>One thing that I believe that would help would be to limit the amount of time that certain people have in office, ex senators. This should be done with overlapping term limits. <BR/><BR/>Yes, "StupidB" has a point. A big point. Everyone needs to vote. Not that I am personally pulling hard for either of the leading 2 candidates, I feel there should be a person running for the people and not for the party. That is another topic though.IamMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349833654871796067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27076824.post-90151396014594874162008-07-29T08:26:00.000-06:002008-07-29T08:26:00.000-06:00It is a Representative Republic.

Not voting perpetuates the problem.<BR/><BR/>The more people who do not vote, the more power the power brokers have.<BR/><BR/>Hell, write in a vote for Me.StupidBikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994994198022740179noreply@blogger.com
