Can't Lindsay Lohan use her influence with young people to fundamentally change America?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Nothing that needs fixing in US can't be fixed within the current system.  It's just that the system is sabotaged by the voters who exercise great power without the great responsibility that accompanies it.

It's as interesting as the average Languish thread starter question.  But if the point of the excercise is to make Obama look foolish for overblown rhetoric,  like I said I don't think the target is big enough.

That's really not the point.  I don't know whether Obama believes what he said or if it's just overblown rhetoric.

Flip a coin.

Well, I guess the US could use a few transformations.  The whole gun culture could afford to go, as could the cult of celebrity and the fear of socialized medicine.  I just don't think that these transformations are especially fundamental.  Then again, I'm not a speechwriter, a class for whom the word 'fundamental' is essetially padding.
:huh:  Who hijacked Neil's account?  This post is lucid and relevant, so it can't be Neil writing.

I voted no, but after the Obama admin is finished with us we may need transformation.   ;)

Weird a Neil post I entirely agree with. :gasp:
