I see it as not as free ...We have what we now have. I see it as not as free as it once was. I see a one party rule that took away more than it gave in return. Soon, we may have a different party ruling but I doubt if they will be willing or able to return us to whatever we had before. It will be hard to give up power just because the other party installed it. I see a materialistic philosophy that ignores reality as long as we each are doing ok. We accept a tiny minority to serve as our warriors. They fight and die, while we buy bumper stickers to show we support them. They are left to serve more rotations than we have ever asked our warriors to do. Sometimes they are ill equipped but we do not know about it, so it isn’t happening, unless it is our family that is sufferings. We had years of Republican majorities that preferred to blame the reduction in military might on the previous administration. Nothing changed when one party rule took over. I do not see huge changes occurring even if the party of change takes over. I see less if the same old party wins again.<BR/>Bob PorisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
