I rarely delete comments. I'm always prepared for that particular reader to be quite offended. I would be. So whatever it was, I must of felt pretty strongly about how off base you were. I don't fully delete posts because that seems rather sneaky. Yes I control the conversation on this blog. It is a dictatorship. I try to be benevolent, but if I do become a tyrant, I at least have the courtesy to do it publicly.

As I was about to explain, the war deserves it. Everyone should be entitled to certain things; life, liberty, and the American cliché. But the new generation, my generation, has been coddled by their parents and instead of "growing up" and seeing what is need and what is want, they expect things to be there for them, need or want. I go to a Preparatory school, so you can imagine I have a lot of "entitled" peers. However, I do think that there has been a shift in the American psyche to this more "entitled" mind set not solely in the new generation. Look at the bailout bill! I think it is not because because of one person or thing, but because we (the US) have become settled in our ways. Again, great blog, really gets you thinking. Some things, deserve entitlement.

I'm not saying either candidates have a better policy, because as you state, we really can't know (they all lie*). Our soldiers feel entitled 'not to die' but everyone should have that right, I am sorry I can't expound on this anymore, but my class just ended; Great blog!

I figure business is kind of like a game. The rules change every four years. As an individual we can vote but dont have too much control over the final outcome. All we can do is try to play well and adept to changes in the environment. I think people get preoccupied with who is in the white house. I figure business is kind of like a game.

The difference between you and me is I knew he couldn't deliver all the things he was promising, but at least he was promising me things I wanted. >If it’s harder to be successful, then people who work as hard as I do will stand out. Yup, there is always a way to be successful. You just have to find it. Change is good for those who know how to adapt. Ned Carey I think the first president I voted for was Carter.

Yup, there is always a way to be successful. You just have to find it. Change is good for those who know how to adapt.

What we need right now are people who would start fixing things on their own, stop pointing fingers on who's to blame for whatever and do not wait for a miracle to happen. Many people are in financial crisis because they depend too much on the government. I couldn’t agree more.

If not, a horrible socialist. It's all more or less nonsense. The best a president can do is try to use good judgement regardig the information they receive from experts and try not to interfere unnecessarily in citizens lives. We shall see.

I just don't see Obama getting us back to that. I see him just furthering the entitlment mentality, especialy with his healthcare plan. Chad C.
