New Progressive from Philadelphia
 

Hey Politicalchat. I've been on AK for a little while now BUT, I'm Evan from Philadelphia. I'm a progressive, I'm patriotic, I'm open minded. I'm here for spirited but respectful debate, and also to learn.

I'm a college student, so sometimes I protest. College tuition and funding for public education are issues that are very close to my heart.

Looking forward to haggling with everybody :D

Welcome.

The idea that kids have to go in debt to get an education is nuts. You should protest.

Welcome Ramblin! The debate is often spirited but not always respectful... so if you enter the kitchen....:D

BTW could you define progressive.

Hey RambinE. Whatcha majoring in?

The root word of progressive is PROGRESS.

As a progressive I advocate/favor/wish for more equality for all Americans in all aspects of life. Equal access to excellent education. Equal access to excellent healthcare. Equal access to job opportunities. Equal access to a roof over your head, water to drink, food to eat and oxygen to breath. Equal access to right to persist. Now, whether you are successful is up to you and how hard you want to work. I don't see having a warm dry roof over your head as a handout, I see it as a right. Nobody in a country this wealthy should be on the street. What's not a right? What do you have to earn? Luxuries of course. Plasma screen TVs, cars, fancy clothes and beautiful homes. If you want it you should be able to have the opportunity to go get it! But if for whatever reason you don't, your life is still sacred and you should still be able to eek out your life in civilized conditions.

//speech over.

I don't yet know what I want to major in :(

WELCOME Ramblin,

You must be a Political Science Major.

Surrender All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here.
