i think that number is closer to 55%. The other 45% are completely pointless.

Our priorities are seriously twisted. *SMH*

"we as a people"? wow, that a pretty lofty generalization from a thread that has replies from 7 people other than you and i in a nation where over 300 million people live.
anywho, i would think that since you seem to be so enthused by this cause that you would have replied to my questions with an emphatic "YES!!" on all fronts, and would provide at least suggestions on how we as a people can help. sometimes, RM, you have to really convince people that something is going to negatively impact their well being. sometimes, you have to make it plainer than day. it's quite possible that no one feels they're educated enough on the issue to effectively comment. or, they may not care. of the leaps that were made, single currency to losing civil rights to the Rapture, may be too much for folks. *shrug*
i see that you think this is a civil rights issue. i get that. but just because the Constitution ceases to exist doesn't necessarily mean that slavery or denying women the right to vote, for examples, are held as good ideas of something we should go back to. i venture to say that there's a minority of people who think these are good ideas. so it's quite possible that this may not be a bad thing. it may not be a good thing, either, but until folks are properly educated (if we're properly educated) we may never know.
