5. So was Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon.
That doesn't mean all Americans had the chance to walk on the moon.

It was a privilege reserved for a handful of people. The same goes for great wealth and/or power. They are set aside for the very few, and class mobility is now at all-time LOWS.

6. Here's another racist comment that Bill Bennett has made
"But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could ... abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."

7. Add 10-15% to the actual vote total...
...and you would have the TRUE Barack Obama victory margin!!

So yes, there is MUCH to do about this situation. Of course, banning the republican party is the ONE KEY THING that will prevent this from happening...ever again!

10. No, not even close, but it's a step, and a symbolic one at that.
