This World Mad?


The mass populous of today's society has gone around not caring about his/her fellow man. When these people do actually work up the drive to take a stand for something it is only something that ascertains to them. This 2008 election is a prime example. Sure one person may think that it becomes redundant and obnoxious hearing about it all the time. (Now it is true that the presidential election has more hype than say an election that involves congress. For we all know that they have more power as a whole than the Commander and Chief.) However, if one is to look deeper he/she would realize that in times of crisis whomever is in office can, and will, take on powers that are not previously available to him/her. What frightens me is that most times the power is not returned but rather retained by the office. What I'm getting at is during this time of war what powers might the new president take on to issue an executive order, that may not be cast aside after its initial use.

People need to realize that this election is bigger than just you or I. Making a choice is important!

I guess then, the question I will leave you with is; who do we want taking the power that may not be given back?
