Chegitz, you know how much of a Bush fan I am. 
But let's face facts, bro, Gore sucked. He was a two-term incumbent VP, with the best campaign fund a Dem frontrunner has ever had and the closest funding ratio a Dem has had to a Republican in a presidential election.
Gore got nailed flat on environmental hypocrisy (the EPA cites on his property), Gore had the campaign strategy of the average rutabaga, and he was afraid of Clinton helping out because he was afraid of all the attention Clinton's **** would get. Never mind that Clinton's **** has more personality.
Gore was a nominal southerner who couldn't even carry the south, including his home state, where Daddy had owned and operated the Democratic party machinery for decades, just like my "Uncle Fred" (my great-uncle Fred Vinson) did in Kentucky at the same time. Florida was a write-off state from the beginning, and Gore's major campaign strategy never assumed it was a key state until very late in the game.
Both parties play the same voting and registration games, in different ways, all over the US. If Gore and his campaign had remotely had their **** together, the election never would have come down to a few crackers and their voting (or vote-busting) abilities.

"Dan Servern, while Bush is legally the President of the US, he was not elected legally. He was elected through massive voter disenfranchisement and vote fraud in the state of Florida. The 3,000 or so confused people in West Palm Beach, certainly contributed to it but so did illegally forcing counties to accept invalid absentee ballots and illegally keeping as many as 100,000 ex-felons from voting. The Bush government here broke the law to make sure that his brother won the election.
"
Not to stick up for that redneck or anything. But some 200,000 people were turned away from the republican dominated Panhandle. Why did this happen you ask? The Election/State was called an hour before there people usually go out to vote. Alot of people were angry. They were going to the polling booths listening to there radio's AND...suddenly "We interupt this broadcast to bring you the latest NEWS. GORE has just won florida".
Lets be fair now folks.

FYI the panhandle area of florida has a HUGE amount of republicans and is in a different time zone. Alot of people were incredibly angry and the media kind of blew them off, instead focusing on the idiots who couldnt figure out how to punch a key hole in.

As I said in the starter, Americans are no better than Euros, Chinese, or any other race. We're all the same. I'm just talking about the country though. Sweden is a democracy, yes. But when we became independent and became a democracy, they pretty much got it from us.
And whoever said CdA is the capital of white supremacy, never say that to someone that lives there. I know it wasn't meant as an insult, but it sure would insult anyone from that town. The Aryans have made three or four marches about 6 blocks from my house. And guess what? They got egged (I condemn their actions, but it shows what people think of them). Everytime there's one of those marches, do you know how many peace rallies were going on? Like one in every city within 50 miles. We're not supremacists, there's just about 20 people affiliated with Butler who live near us and give us all a bad name. It's very sad, because there are hardly any African-Americans where I live because they're scared to come here.
I'm not a little kid, also. In two and three fourths of a year I'll become legally an adult. Yes, though I'm about the average hight for a 15 year old, I do look like I'm 11, but that doesn't make me dumber than you guys. I'm taking honors Algebra 2 in my freshmen year.
Mainly what I'm saying is the US is the most powerful and influential country in the world now. I'm saying it mostly because someone in a thread wrote that the US wasn't the best country in the world or even the second best. Yes, I know best is a subjective term, but I just couldn't think of how else to sum it up in one word. And chill out, this thread isn't that big of a deal. I think some people are getting a little concerned.
About the story of the name of CdA. We learned and relearned it in fourth grade 20 times, but I kind of forgot it. Anyway, some French traders went up to what is now CdA. They ripped off a bunch of the indians. The indians said, "They have the heart of an awl (for those of you that don't know, an awl is a sharp tipped tool), and the French translated it, and they called the tribe of indians the Coeur d'Alene indians. I'm not sure if the town was named after the indians or just for that story, though.

Remember, were all in this world together. Walk with planet! 
, I say when you grow up a bit and live in three or four countries and visit a few more you will realize that there is no perfect country.
