Nothing but terrorism
Remember when there was more to politics than battling terrorism? How about granting economic opportunities? Increasing literacy? Finding better sources of energy? Decresing the rate of rape and abuse? Improving public education?

Why do you think mainstream media focuses mainly on terrorists (who, oddly, all come from the Middle East or Pakistan, as though the rest of the world is devoid of terrorists)?

The US is in a state of decline and it needs the spotlight focussed elsewhere. With constant terrorist threats there is little time to worry about internal problems.

Obviously you've never heard a bush debate before. All he can relate to is the terrorists. I think Bin ladin haunts him in his sleep. If you continue making terrorism a big deal then it will be. What the terrorists want is to strike fear into the people. Maybe a little reverse psychology would work here. Give them no coverage. Completely focus on something else and when the issue is brought up just simply say, "Were working on it"

OK, so now hear this? [article from local paper] Wait a minute I have to find the newspaper?

OK, here we go again. Section B -- State & Local News
side bar headline -- Florida seeks new electricity sources
subheading -- High gas costs have officials weighing options
quote:
Tallahasee --Gov. Jeb Bush has been talking about burning sugar cane waste. In a few Florida counties, they're capturing & using the methane produced by rotting garbage in landfills. And Progress Energy and Florida Power & Light are bothplanning to increase prodution of nuclear power.

While the first 2 are the same useage (waste converted to energy) by different entities, the latter should take note to follow their lead. Just what are they going to do with nuclear waste?
Oh, the headline of the main section -- Swat Officer shoots eighth grader. Well, not long ago it was the use of taser (sp) [high volage stun gun] to subdue an elementary child.
Biblical -- Spare the Rod & Spoil the Child!

If we focus on terrorism we miss what is really going on.

Building a nuclear power plant is far more costly than windmills and solars panels. Think about all the money companies like Halliburton won't make. We can't have that. Cheney's 250,000 Haliburton stock is only now worth 8 million, we can do better than that, lets shot for 10 million.

It blows my mind, laws are being broken every day by our highest office, but you won't know about it unless you do a google search.

Haven't and don't want to. They only allow Bush supporters in those things - what a bunch of bull - just that is wrong. I have to believe that the exit polls were right - we couldn't have put this person in office?
