] Date Posted: 22:08:04 12/14/02 Sat In reply to: sammy 's message, "one more thing" on 21:30:40 12/13/02 Fri I'll jump in here, although I will probably sound like a moron, with you guys who are the two most politically savvy people I know. I think we can all agree the both Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond both suck for the things they have thought/said. I also think it sucks that in 2002 we still have to have this debate on why the people in power in our country say things and think the way they do. Again, every assumption of a group in this debate tends to be the rule over the exception. We have to deal with all of this and it's crap we shouldn't have to. I just think that these views are that of a past and more stubborn and bitter generation. The south obviously still has it fair share of dixiecratic views, and we will never fully get racism to be a thing of the past, but in future elections, i see these people in power who openly or are even hinted to be racist will be weeded out. Strom was just voted by habit for so many years, nobody wants to say no to a 97 year old guy. At least I hope i'm not just being naive here, but I think it will get better in the future. We have to put up with these close minded people, and that it what sucks the most of all, that these are the people that represent our country as a whole, even if they are elected on state levels. I'll end it here, i had more to say but I couldn't verbalize everything correctly so this might have sounded unorganzied, but i will check back and write more. On a side note, I love the fact that 19 and 20 year olds are having this debate, this is more of whats right with america today [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
