I'm sure that many people agree with your point of view, but there may be just as many who view those 2 issues in a completely different light. For myself, I believe David Koresh wanted to commit mass suicide/murder and I also think Elian belongs with his father. I try to view each event on it's own merits and without a partisant slant. Some people just determine thier view on an issue by whether a Democrat or Republican in in office. I am not that simple-minded. I view ALL leadership with a healthy dose of skepticism and look at things from many angles. Not just my own party's view.
I'm also not going to sit here and slam our current President, even though I have serious doubts about his short-sighted foreign policy. I also think we are sitting by and waving our civil liberties bye-bye with some of Ashcroft's proposed changes. But I am a patient man and time will tell us all if Bush's coming decisions will be correct. Hopefully, if he decides to go after Iraq, he will do a MUCH better job of it than his father did! Because this time, I think we're going to suffer many more casualties. And so are the Brits, unfortunately.
But that's what great about America. We can openly criticize our leadership and have no fear of punishment as in other countries (aka Iraq).
As for Florida, we just need one standard ballot across the whole country instead of the hundreds of types we have now.
And since only about 50% of Americans even bother to vote once every four years, a lot of people can't complain shit about the leadership that results from that apathy and lack of responsibility.
