As the society has gotten larger and more complex, individuals have lost their ability to influence any of the institutions that affect their lives.

People just automatically say 'If this guy is George and Barbara Bush's son, we don't have any question about those personal qualities that we were fooled on by Clinton.'

The President, the Administration and the campaign need a theme. I am concerned that the President is seen as a tactician without an overall strategy of his plan for the country.

This has resulted in more and more people becoming inner-directed and having as their only goal, getting as much as they can get out of the system and putting as little into it as possible

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.

I think we need one recognized, respected public figure to make a tough, blunt statement on just what Reagan's record is and what he might do to the country, let alone the Republican Party before Christmas.

Most of the things that need to be said about the President are things he can't say himself.
