I’d like to see the military death benefit paid to families of dead U.S. soldiers doubled from $500,000 to $1 million, and extend that to soldiers of ANY nation who die fighting for the USA in any war the USA starts, including our Iraqi allies.
What changes would you like to see?
I’d like more people to be nice and generous to others without expecting any kind of a reward. Just being nice for the sake of one’s fellow human beings.
Underwear.
and how much are we ALREADY in debt??
Lets worry about America first.
Before we invaded, Iraq was producing 2 million barrels of oil a day. It shouldn’t be all that hard to connect the dots and see that the potential of Iraqi production could really take the edge off of the price of the occupation. It’s interesting to note however that Haliburton not only has the contract to fight oil well fires, it also holds the contract that includes “operation of facilities and distribution of the products”. I would add that Haliburton sends oil to Kuwat, refines it and then sells fuel to our military at inflated prices, but that would insinuate that some people are actually involved in war profiteering.
Well…American gasoline companies are claiming the biggest profit ever. They’re not doing too shabby with those inflated prices to make those claims…
At what frequency?
I would like to see:
something done about our national dept.
useless wars to stop.
more help given to the homeless.
real problems like child soldiers and genocides to be given media attention = we do something to help them.

I’d like everyone to realise that we’ve never had it so good.
Well that all depends on who ‘we’ are.
At the moment most of the deaths in the world occur due to poverty. ‘This poverty is neither inevitable nor necessary, but a function of the system that has been carefully structured so as to enhance the wealth of a tiny minority, most of whom reside in the richest countires. Indeed, the standard of living in the richer nations depends largely on the exsistency of poverty and the exploitation of the poorest nations’.
the life expectancy of those in the rich countries is twice that of people in the poorest countires.
Although there is enough food to feed the entire human population millions still starve to death.
In Britain there are levels of equality between the rich and the poor that are larger now than at any other time since the 1930s and the UK and the USA now have the largest percentage of poorer people than any of the other ‘developed’ countries.
Compared to the rest of Europe, Britiain has one of the lowest life expectancy rates, the most deregulated labour markets, the longest working hours, and the hightest divorce rates and proportion of one parent families.
So, like I said, it depends on who ‘we’ are.
a lot of these facts are relative, we have one of the lowest life expectancies, but it’s still higher than it’s ever been isn’t it? does that fact that our life expectancy is twice that of poor countries necessarily mean that either has decreased? no. Was there ever a time in modern history where there weren’t millions of people starving to death?
I’m saying things are better than they were, you’re saying things are bad, those two statements aren’t mutually exclusive.
The soldiers home from Iraq. Bush out of office, and warmer spring like temperatures.
I second that commotion!
I would also like to see Mao Zedong run our country, dictatorship, duh. I would also like all our infants to begin enrolling in the military, it would help our soldiers.
We need more cake! the iraqies need cake. I would also like all the troops to be able to ride a uni, it would help stuff. The united states biggest export should be toilet paper. And our biggest import to be toilet paper. We must take nunuvut from canada! and also prince edward island. Then we need to take glascom (whereever the hell that is) we need colonies in Europe. So we can moniter them. Also we need to go to war with germany (since they dont have a militant anymore)
yeah…
sorry, the age you can buy it or star in it?
i think Van would be the leading slut in “Have U dropped YOUR balls yet???bats eyelashes”
Ok.
But I still stand by my orignal point, things are only better from a westerncentric point of view. For many peoples - the indigenouse peoples of America, Canada and Austrilia as well as those in the Third world for instance life is no better than it was and may be even worse. They are more likely to suffer effects of global warming and so on.
I’d like to see unborn children given the same rights as born children…
= terrible idea… I don’t want to start an argument, and am too lazy to type a lot right now, so i’ll leave my opinion undefended. This way you can assume I’ve done no research and am simply wrong! 
factory sweatshop slavery
Bush would also like to find a way to get them into
factory sweatshop slavery, but I think it’s just plain wrong to do that to the unborn!
