Big government is not the problem. You can't have a small government governing 330 million people in the most diverse complicated population in the history of the world. It is naive to think so. I don't listen to conservatives and haven't for a long time. They are ill suited to govern in the modern world. Most people don't like or are leery of change, but conservatives fear and hate change. They continually live in the past as the world moves forward and change happens faster and faster. If you can't look and plan for the future you will be left behind. Conservatives hate regulations because regulations curb their ability to make as much money as they want with no regard for the health and welfare of the general population.Our problem is the elected officials in Washington make their own rules and laws pertaining to them. This is what needs to change., that and getting big money (legalized bribery) out of politics.

I have dated women in every age group except for women 60 and over and if you pay attention to the women on this site, those women don't all want the same thing. All people, men and women don't want or need the same things in a relationship. As I have said before, you can have a laundry list of wants and none of it matters if there is no chemistry, and if there is chemistry some of that laundry list will go out the window.
