Oh crud! Come on, people, there are 100 senators and 435 Representatives in the House. It takes more than just the President to affect policy in this country! I don't particularly care for Bush, but he isn't solely responsible for the anti-drug legislation on the books today.

The 2004 vote is extremely important! No single candidate can make all the changes we want. RESEARCH your candidates (I don't care if they are from the ALIEN party--don't vote for somebody unless you have researched their past political stances and support their current political agenda!) And VOTE! Drive your neighborhood old lady to vote, talk to your family, friends and neighbors and encourage them to vote. It DOES count, but more importantly--you don't have the right to complain about anything if you DON'T vote!!!

And I'd give my last breath to move to the UK, but unless you are wealthy, are an accomplished doctor or sports figure, or marry a citizen from the country you wish to move to, it just isn't a matter of choice! Immigration laws are in place all over the world for a reason, and they don't just apply to 3rd world people trying to move into a 1st world country.

Let's put the blame to rest and work to solve the problem by doing what we can. Arguing politics here is a bad choice.
