Blogging the YouTube debate

Ahhh..journalism

I must disagree with your comments that these students are completely insulated from facts and reality. Second, our national economy is roaring? Thats why our dollar is soaring downward? It has been thirty years since the canadian dollar was valued more. Our gas prices have doubled since 2000. It was $1.47 in 2000. Our independent truckers are feeling the pinch in a big way. Success in Iraq and Afghanistan? Yes, success for the Taliban that is regaining control in Afghanistan along with another bumper crop of Opium because our president had his eyes on a bigger prize. Remember Osama?, the guy that attacked us? Quote from our president.."I..I just dont think much about him". Nice, but he is protecting us, right? With our mercenarey army that makes double what our guys make. I can't even continue to address your nonsense. Like you stated to these students, learn the facts about an issue...you will have to watch more than just fox news to accomplish this.
