Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
See Teal, we are not too far apart *family hug* though we both have different opinions, and hey that is the way things are here in the US and that's a good thing.
I want to take up your comment about our Politicians. One of the things I think our Founding Fathers intended was that "serving our country" would be a sacrifice, not a permanent pay check that our elected officials get after 1 term. If they did sacrifice their public (income and what ever) and would not get a lifetime paycheck after they left office, then perhaps they would "work for the common man". Especially if they were told, once you serve in office, you have to live with Medicare health when you retire (ohh I know, how can you make that happen, but it would be nice if they have to take the medicine that we take).
At one time, I thought that term limits would fix it, but I have changed my mind over the years. There are good people from both sides of the isle that DO care about the people (ohh we can disagree how best to serve the people, that's cool), but many career politicians are the bane of our Country's well being.
