And I agree with Ms. C. above as well.<BR/><BR/>I've been amazed that they had the gall to trot out flag-burning at this time, particularly as it's not exactly reaching epedemic proportions.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1151515923078743642006-06-28T13:32:00.000-04:002006-06-28T13:32:00.000-04:00I am appalled by the lack of leadership on BOTH si...I am appalled by the lack of leadership on BOTH sides of the aisle.<BR/><BR/>There is a complete vacuum of will to attack the vital issues of the day. Instead we fritter away our hours talking about completely inconsequential matters, such as flag burning, instead of vital issues that affect us here at home in our everyday lives.<BR/><BR/>Too many people opt out of the political proess in this country because they are repulsed by this kind of grandstanding, because politicians do not address the topics that matter to most of us. A vicious cycle of incompetence and inaction is then perpetuated.<BR/><BR/>Social issues, such as education, health care, and the like are the things that affect us the most. These issues are wonderful political fodder for politicians, and therefore there is no incentive to actually act upon them, since once they are dealt with, they can no longer be trotted out to garner a shallow allegiance on the part of those who actually manage to go vote."Ms. Cornelius"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16970201479637588558noreply@blogger.com
