We've definitely debated health care enough but I was wondering.... If the health care package DOESN'T include a public option, would you want the President to veto it? Yes - Public option is 100% necessary to me.Did the President make the right decision re:Missile Defense?
As though the Obama administration didn't already have enough criticism to contend with some fair and some not so fair, the President backed by the Sec. of Defense and Joint Chiefs after seven months of careful review of the tactical landscape of the globe, security issues and resources to deal with such not to mention current diplomatic relationships has decided to stop plans for two permanent and stationary missile defense bases in Poland and Czech Republic. Despite this sound decision to eliminate plans for a system which does not meet today's security needs appropriately he still can't seem to dodge opportunistic partisan snipers.Should We legalize Drugs and Prostitution

You pretty much can't turn on the news without hearing about the swine flu over and over. While I think it's an important story, I can't help but wonder how much of it is being trumped up for ratings. What do you think?Citizen 4.0 Direction (mod post)
Hey ladies! So I was thinking yesterday about what direction we want this group to be going in. I've seen a lot of people comment about how they felt that CitizenSugar would post stories just to incite arguments and how they didn't like that.Torture: Where do you stand?
Since the release of the so-called Torture Memos, there's been a lot of talk about interrogation lately.
