The 2008 election marks a milestone in history - minorities are running for presidency. There's the woman - Hillary Clinton, and the African-American - Barack Obama. We have never had a woman or a minority in office. Is America ready for it? Or should things stay the way they have been? Some argue that if a woman is president, then other countries - specifically those that look down on women - will lose respect for America. Others argue that it's about time for some major changes; we need reform!
What do you think? |

Sorry, the time for me distinguishing the difference between republic and representative democracy etc has passed. And also, I'm not American so..I have no idea what that pledge is.
And I'm not saying that sometimes violence isn't the only means but my objection was to your rather oppressive wording of the fact ![]() |

But really, if you're going to be so decided on your opinions of America, then you should at least know the basics of the country. It's rather hypocritical to claim to be an expert one minute, and then disclaim any connection the next. |
