Stating his personal beliefs doesn't answer his confidence in whether or not the children's interests are being addressed. I just want to ask him... "didn't you hear the question?"<BR/><BR/>DJ - I once worked with a Korean woman and we were discussing differences between our countries. She pointed out that people don't stand in line in Korea. I asked, how do people know who's turn it is? She said "You just know, you know? Like at the grocery store, you just walk up when it's your turn, but you don't stand in line. That's why people here think we are rude..." I still can't wrap my head around the unorganized concept, but she thinks that our need to stand in line makes everything take longer than it should.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959637910926242468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-1142969048610387932006-03-21T14:24:00.000-05:002006-03-21T14:24:00.000-05:00Cara Barbara, non c'e necessario.

He just states his belief and moves on.<BR/><BR/>When asked why he hasn't vetoed a spending bill, he stated that the Congress had met the figure limits; they just spent the money on something other than he had requested. He then stated, that's why he wants the line item veto.<BR/><BR/>The legislative branch is responsible to approve and fund expenditures. The executive branch should not have the ability to undo legislative decisions, with the stroke of a pen.Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474837430855732529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-1142966801242307352006-03-21T13:46:00.000-05:002006-03-21T13:46:00.000-05:00I am mortified that this man is the face of Americ...I am mortified that this man is the face of America seen most prominently throughout the world. I am shamed that somehow, he managed not to be educated, despite being a graduate of my alma mater. I am humiliated that the majority of his constituents seem to be as ignorant as he is, and I am personally offended that I might, by proximity, be mistaken for one of them. I have all but given up on attempting to educate them, though; my only viable option seems to be ignoring them until the din they create becomes completely unbearable, at which point I will once again exile myself to friendlier, more enlightened lands.<BR/><BR/>Barbara: I haven't read the post on glennalicious, but I will second your feeling. When I lived in Paris, anytime I spotted American tourists (and you can spot them from about a Metro stop away), I pretended I couldn't speak English. Sad, really, though I do have to say the furiously buzzing pushing and shoving of the Japanese tourists on the Eiffel Tower was more annoying than the majority of the Ugly American behaviour I witnessed.DJRainDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921792163789635507noreply@blogger.com
