Oil?...the Big three are so close to finally getting the Hydrogen car produced for Joe Public. Think that fact alone will quell the problems in the middle east?

astonamous,
Also with regards to those "resources" you talk about being the igniter of the war......Don't you think Bush would have rather opened up the protected area's of Alaska and maybe even struck a bigger deal with Mexico if it was just "OIL" we were after in Iraq? Rather than sending thousands of America's youth into war and into harms way?

astonamous,
I totally agree.....thats why I found P Diddy's "Vote or Die" campaign totally ridiculus....I mean honestly...there's no shame in NOT voting if you're not versed on the choices on the board and what they stand for...There SHOULD be a litmus test before you register to vote.

Not saying everyone shouldn't vote......all I'm saying is if you have no clue to what your voting for......no shame in NOT voting...

Slapshot99,
Brothers have not really been able to vote but for only a short time in Americas history and it was a fight for that.(There is already a rumor that has been circulating on the net that blacks right to vote is only valid for a little while longer until Congress renews it 8-o )

No one should be forced to vote but too many people, from the beginning of this countries history to the civil rights era, have fought too hard for this privelege for it to be taken for granted......Bill Cosby would be proud..... @.@

Understood all that BL....still begs to say that if you don't know....either find out or keep your two cents to yourself...wouldn't you say?....Theres no more worse a decision than one thats made without thought, information and knowledge..And my remark about what P Diddy was campaigning on is more a reflection of the problems of the younger MTV set.......not on the people of color.
