Do you just repair it whenever something

breaks on it? I have a 15-year-old car with 75,000 miles on it. I just repair it when something breaks. Sometimes I think it is more trouble than it is worth but I don't want a car payment with the state the economy and transcription are in right now.

I agree. There certainly is a lot of damage to repair.
Americans are not the only ones who are ready to turn the page and write a new chapter in the post-911 era. I believe the challenges are so complex that they are no longer amenable to an imperialist or isolationist approach.
There is no one nation that can single-handedly defeat terrorism, a stateless, nationless phenomenon, fueled in part by Anti-American sentiment. The very essence of the challenge dictates the need for alliance, cooperation, concerted efforts, mutual respect and multicultural/multinational involvement. We don't get there by waging more wars. In fact, a radical departure from the most recent approaches is in order.
If Bush can come to the table for the sake of the economy (G7), our leadership certainly should come to the table for the sake of security.
I'll take the repair step one further
Let's propose that any store that sells any electronics, or anything mechanically breakable, in fact, must have a repair guy on duty for people that need to have it repaired. I'm sick of everything SUPPOSEDLY under warranty that requires you ship it at your own expense to Timbucktoo in its original packing on a Thursday if you want to even TRY to get it fixed - and of course it always disappears during shipping, never to be seen again. Remember back in the day where you bought an appliance at a store and could take it back there to get it repaired? We need to buy things locally and fix them locally again! We want parts manufactured to fix things and we want repairment trained and ready for us - jobs and more jobs!
How many years do you think it will take to repair the harm he has done
So far he's been in around 90 days and once he's out it will take years and years to undo the harm.
Bowing to our enemies while showing his @ss to Americans, telling countries the jobs going oversees are not jobs we would want anyway, starting a mandatory draft (oops I meant a mandatory volunteer), increasing our taxes so that we cannot even afford basic necessities anymore, more companies laying off, while he's not doing anything to build up businesses, doubling the size of government, tripling or deficit, telling other countries not how great of a nation we are but how selfish and irresponsible Americans are, having the constitution ignored for him to assume office, destroying the values that most all American's share, and the list goes on and on and on. Right now in his first 90 days I think it will probably take about 2 or 3 years to undo the harm he has already caused. He's destroying the country and each day brings a new destruction. How many years do you think it will take to reverse the damage.
