I agree, I would have liked to have seen each candidates answer to your question because it pretty much summed it up. I am sorry one of the lessor known people answered your question, because he gave his political stance instead of answering the question.

I do have to ask... what software did you use to do your video, because it came out much clearer than many of the other questions.

just a sony dv and final cut... i compressed it before submitting so it didn't get squished a bunch by youtube to fit on-line. it was 'pre-squished' and i think that's the main reason. (because 'pre-squished' is, of course, the correct technical nomenclature...)

Good job on being concise and on point on how most americans are feeling at the moment. :-) You had to do a hundred million takes on this to get it to fit in the time frame didn't you!?

thanks, and nope.. i just talked and edited it together. wasn't too bad. I was a little dissapointed in the answers though. i think the candidates in a way missed their opportunity to not try to sound so clever answering questions and just have some empathy and responsability. just to stand there and take it and stand accountable you know?

Thanks- I just think democracy's meant to reflect the majority and protect the individual. voting issues is saying we don't trust the people to find a natural balance (economics) We should rather choose someone we trust, who can be flexible, govern ethically and inspire that consensus. Not someone with inflexible (or flexible for the right price) views. Let's have one honest soul who has bigger ears and brains than bank accounts and friends and we'll have a country... we need another lincoln.

Our Founding Fathers warned us of a government controlled by a full democracy , Zach.

When we govern by the majority rules system it ignores minority opinion - and in this country (today) those minorities can number in the millions.

The Bill Of Rights for example is an undemocratic contract, because it was meant for all people an not a majority group.

Man you looked like such a tool with the video cuts. You trying to be Max Headroom?

[Shadowman25]
