Just Wondering....

I was just sitting here wondering what are the most important issues about our day and time that we want to see our new President focus on? While all the talk is about Iraq and "change" (whatever that means), I was wondering what a candidate's platform would be like if he focused on those things that the American people want the most.

People say that people say McCain wants more war and that, with him, we will have 4 more years of "Bush". Other people say that people say that Obama wants change, including beefing up our troops in Afghanistan and doing more war. Hillary, on the other hand, wants Health Care changes......I kind of like that! Now that I'm getting older; drifting closer to retirement; health care is an issue for me! A decent health care plan can cost me $600-$900/month ....just ME!

So I was wondering.....

What kind of things do YOU want to see? What do YOU think our country needs?

I have recently heard advertisements by T. Boone Pickens, paid for by T. Boone Pickens, talking about alternative energy for our country; how we could harness wind power to produce electricity which would free up 20% of our Natural Gas resources, which could then be used to power a lot of vehicles, reducing our dependance on foreign oil.

I'm sure there are a lot of things to consider when venturing into this untouched world and that details would have to be worked out, and all. But this sounds REALLY GOOD to me! I could buy into that with no problem! I would love to see us develope Nuclear Power and be able to harness it to run our homes and cars! I would love nothing more than to see our dependance upon foreign oil, diminish completely!

So here are some of my things....

Develope alternative energy for cars.
Vacate our troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.
Lower the high cost of health care; make it available for everyone.
Shore up our economy.
Drill and bring up oil from within our own borders.
Restrict overseas "bail-outs" to countries who simply "use us".
Buy back our country from foreign interests; our land belongs to US.
Tighten our borders from illegals and terrorists.
Show little mercy to countries who send terrorists into ours.
Create jobs.
Get serious about the drug war; harsh sentences to those who manufacture, smuggle, and sell drugs in our country.
No more "Hilton" prisons! Turn off the air conditioning; soup and bread meals...three times a day; no smoking; no TV; no Gyms; hard work for hard time! Keep it simple...make it unfun!

Well......dreaming is fun. Do you have any ideas??
