Question

we rebuild bridges in Iraq while ours are crumbling. Is this what caused the first revolution? Can we do it? Are we to fat and happy to pull togeghter?

Answer 1

Try to ask that when the government's pockets are too full of oil. They'll have no choice but to listen.

Answer 2

Tis much tado about nothing.  You need to learn about the difference between state government responsible for these bridged and the feds who wage the wars.  Different jerks, different money.

Answer 3

Politicians listen to large amounts of contributed monies and people who can deliver large blocs of votes for their re-election.  The rest of us can go whistle.

Answer 4

Who cares.

Answer 5

When you have money and you use it "wisely." The guys in charge of this country will listen. Not only you buy their time to listen to your nags, you may own their souls too!

Answer 8

The government does listen.

You are just not talking in a language and method that they will hear you.

You can find out who is the Senator and House of Representatives Representative for your geography, and communicate with those two persons in a civilized manner about your concerns and priorities, and they will respond to you.

Or you can rant in an uncivilized manner without making much sense, and your communication will go into the circular file with a bunch of other efforts by other people who have not yet learned how to communicate with their elected representatives.

Or you can rail at the moon, ***** in public, and get some satisfaction spouting off hot air, but the government will not hear your ranting.

You can join some public advocacy group, such as www.highways.org which is lobbying to get the government to do a better job of taking care of our infrastructure, keep gas prices low, rethink our infrastructure, etc. and combine your voice with thousands or millions of other people who feel the same way.

Answer 9

Our government isn't that bad, sheesh!

Answer 10

The truth falls on deaf ears my friend....
