Re: Never Forget
It was probably the most horrific thing any of us have ever seen. I am really disappointed, disgusted actually at how the Republican party has tried to trademark 911 for political purposes though! RIP to all those who died or gave their lives trying save others on that day.

Re: Never Forget
Very early that morning I had surgery -- which went fine, but when I woke up the world was a very different place.

A week later I climbed the highest hill here about 30 mile away and could still see the smoke without binocs. I'm still mad.

I know Mitchel and I have had very oposite views on things before and he's actually swayed me into thinking he's right about all things organic ... well mostly. Course he'll never sway me over to the Democrats! Deb |

Re: Never Forget
I hope that one lesson from 9/11 is that judging someone -- politician or otherwise, by whether they are Republican or Democrat is the most divisive, self-damaging thing that occurs in the U.S.

Re: Never Forget
I'll go along with that too!! (sorry Buddy but I'm not likely to change either) of course a lively debate on organic methods(which I'm all for) might get me riled up!! we can toast one to that I think.

Re: Never Forget
I guess the world is simpler when you narrow it down to "us" and "them".

But seriously, this theme repeats with almost everything in life. Sports, wars, neighbors, corporations, politics, animal kingdom, gardening clubs, even family, etc etc. Let's not forget religion/faith, or human vs alien. Last edited by momoese : 09-13-2008 at 09:19 AM. |

The upside of political parties is the ability of candidates to pool resources and public appearances. An analogy of this is the Cannes Film Festival. The downside of political parties is when they become machines of wealth and power for the national committee and key players. We've been on this road for quite awhile in the U.S. One of the first real abuses in this area was simplified voting: pull the handle or push the button and vote only for the party candidates and "platform". When you reject the concept of "party platform", you remove the instruments of divisiveness and every candidate must now stand on their own merits instead of hiding behind the party "brand".
