Let's get radically conservative and conservatively radical and eliminate the opinions, claims and assertions of media pundits, columnists and talk-show hosts - and everybody else who doesn't live in The Villages -- and not refer to them to support a point of view. State your opinion and convince us why your view is better than anyone else's.

May I suggest that the major national issues facing us are:
1) Unemployment (do we just ride it out or do additional stimulus or tax cuts -- be specific;

2) Health care (do we make no changes, do Medicare for everyone, require everyone to purchase health insurance (a la' Massachusetts), force insurance companies to stop eliminating coverage for people with 'pre-existing conditions' or something else;

3) Afghanistan -- walk away and deal with Al Queda with Predator drones or stay and put the Afghan government on notice for 1 or 2 years to produce or leave it open-ended and stay until whenever under what conditions; and

4) climate warming -- is the climate warming, is it part of a natural cycle or is mankind exacerbating it -- and if so, what should be done?
Put forth your opinions and why you -- not some pundit -- think that is the way to do it.

This could be fun and enlightening for all of us! Thanks for participating.
