With the state of our economy and this war that has bankrupted us, people are going to have to slow down a little, do some serious thinking and make educated informed decisions.
I know that's not always as easy as it sounds. Most people are working 2 jobs just to stay afloat, but it would be in their own best interests to get informed, think and then act, rather than be sold so quickly on soundbites and cliches.

  when it comes to voting it's not much of a decision when Brand A laundry detergent comes from the same manufacturer as Brand B

  The arms race of the cold war wasn't so much a race to arms as it was a race to bankruptcy. Fortunately for us, the Soviets won! Now it loks like we are the ones that are winning. How can a handful of terrorists do so much damage to us at so little cost to themselves? I guess they know how to draw us in,eh?

  The terrorists are not rich and powerful, like us. They try to get as much mileage as they can from a few dramatic acts of terror (that's what terrorism is). The reason there has not been "another 911" is we are doing a good job, all by ourselves, of extending the "mileage" from the first one. Which of them ever imagined they would be elevated to the number-one feared enemy of the world's greatest military power? By creating a trillion dollar war against them, we have inflated their importance and amplified their effect. You can bet they will attempt another attack once we have stoped bleeding from the last one.
