What did he change in Illinois? Why has he changed so far in the US Senate?

Why do dems like the status quo with social security even though it will bankrupt us? Bush tried to allow people to invest a small portion of their social security in low risk bonds/stocks and the dems went nuts. Boehner wants to raise the age for social security to 70 because people are living longer and there isnt' enough money. Why then do dems want to do NOTHING about social security and just let it take us to the bottom? Why are dems the party of NO and the status quo?

Is the status quo of big government really worth conserving? Conservatives, by definition, are in favor of preserving the status quo and preventing any change, either "progressive" or "reactionary." The libertarian values upon which America was founded are long gone, as is the limited government of the Founders which actually followed its own Constitution. Isn't it inaccurate for those who believe in the founding values of the United States to be called conservative since those values no longer exist? Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe the supposedly "progressive" proponents of big government interventionist policies as the conservatives in the modern sense since they are basically interested in preserving the status quo even though they pretend to represent "change?"

What is the true "Status Quo" in the Taiwan Straights that the US state dept. keeps talking about? It seems like the PRC's idea of the status quo is not the same as that of the USA or of Taiwan.

Do you think the Health Care bill is better or worse than the status quo? I think this is a hard call. I think the health care system is in desperate need of reform, to control costs and health care inflation, and also to cover people with no insurance. But I'm skeptical that the current bill pending in Congress will actually achieve this. I'm not sure if it will be better or worse than the status quo. What is your opinion and please include what parts of the bill you like and don't like.

What is the status quo in the Taiwan Strait? Many countries in the world today (especially the USA) say that they support the maintenance of the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. But, what is the "status quo" in the Taiwan Strait? How can we define it, or delineate it? In other words, what is the status of the geographical entities of Taiwan and Mainland China, as well as the governmental entities of the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, and how can we correctly describe their interrelationship? Moreover, does the USA fit in the picture anywhere?

What's so wrong with challenging the status quo? I saw Arne Duncan, Obama's new Secretary of Education, on Charlie Rose last night. More than one time I heard him say "We're going to challenge the status quo" I hear all the Republican rants about Obama and socialism. I think Repubs are just using an emotionally charged word to oppose Obama and I think they are wrong about socialilsm. What I definitely see from Obama is radicalism---extreme change. I think its change for the better.

Does this thesis of status quo make sense? I believe that Americans have a difficult time accepting the ideas and views of divergent cultures because Americans abide by the status quo, which limits their judgment on unfamiliar views and cultures.

The original question for the essay is "Do Americans have a diffucult time accepting the ideas and views of divergent culture?" Agree or Disagree. Thanks.

Do Americans hate Micheal Moore so much because they hate anyone questioning the status quo? I am not a big Micheal More fan. Bowling for Columbine was pretty good I thought but with Fahrenheit 9/11 he lost a lot of credibility. Still, there's no reason to hate someone for questioning authority and the status quo even if they're sometimes wrong is there? Why do Americans hate anyone or thing that calls into question how Americans currently / traditionally does things?

If you had information that could upset the status quo, would you conceal it? Rather than publish it?

Why Does Hillary Insist on Bringing Campaigning Back to 'Status Quo; in an Elevated Environment? Hillary cannot recognize or evolve her politics to the new realization that Americans are 'burnt out' on the negativity & status quo of the Washington spin/gridlock machine. Is she destined, if elected to give us '4 more' of the same old 'dynastic' politics of the Clinton/Bush era that have brought us to these troubles? Her politics as 'old' are NOT going to serve us well in the future.

How does the status quo change so quickly school to school? Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School, High School and College. For the best or for the worst. I can understand kindergarten to elementary but.. For example, in elementary having a large collection of games would probably make you "cool" to a good number of kids, even in fifth grade. In middle school that would have the opposite effect. Or in middle school to high school... I can't think of anything but.. I would say because of the other people in the school, but the first year students have a different quo then the other ones.

How is Obama not the "status quo"? And IF he is such drastic change - how will he get ALL the status quo politicians to vote with him? (What proof besides him saying "I am not the status quo") Talking about change? Talk is cheap. Politicians have been saying we'll reduce oil dependency for years. Politicians have been saying we'll give straight talk for years. Politicians have been saying we'll improve health care for years. Sounds like you just find Obama's words more believable. I don't see how that's change.

I need to write a speech calling for legislative solution to some prob in status quo. ideas? I have to write a speech (called an Original Advocacy), but I'm stumped for ideas. These speeches call for legislative solutions to problems that exist in the status quo.

Any suggestions... pleeeease?

Is the status quo of allowing insurance companies to force out people who are sick every year, republican goal? It is impossible for people to retain an insurance policy for more than a dozen years. Instead everyone has to update their policy to new policies every year due to the dramatic increase in premium price. New policies share costs with the healthy. Old policies only have the sick with preexisting conditions that don't allow them to update to a new policy. It is how they filter out the sick. Is this fair? Should it be allowed to continue?

The future is not made tomorrow, it is cast today.

I still have faith in Obama but the rest of the self-serving, out-of-touch lawmakers should be thrown to the wolves.

What's more important, believing in the truth or following the status quo? I've always wondered this.

To get you thinking. If you don't want to answer then please don't answer.

How many would rather have a 'virgin' in a position than the old status quo? I've had a few jobs, and I've seen that if you ask people about new ideas, the ones who are 'green' are the ones who have the fresh ideas.

I've gotten in trouble a few times for that, but in time people realize change is better than unaware and unwilling to address issues. Just my take, comment at will:
