Societal issues

things that are just plain wrong

Get the damn troops out of Iraq
Fix up this healthcare situation
Build UP, not OUT
Let's not kill off all of the endangered species, shall we?
Economy is garbage and must be fixed
Foreign relations crisis- don't even know where to start there
Get the damn trash continent out of the pacific ocean
Stop making alcohol so easy to get to
Treat the ****ing animals right in the factories
Stop shredding lower class America
Bill O'Reilly must be the first man to venture into space without a suit.

During his presidency, John F. Kennedy was one of the most looked after, admirable, and well respected men to have ever worked in the White House. His often mentioned and very positive look on the country's future firmly asserted him as one of the population's favorites, and also his plans to fix what was broken. One of his primary concerns was that of adjusting the laws on people who had less rights than they should. Mentally and physically challenged people were treated horribly before JFK decided that it must be fixed. Before his presidency, they were locked up with nowhere to go and nobody looking after them. John found this to be an atrocity, and made certain they earned the respect and care that they deserved and needed from the rest of the world. The second of his major issues was that of the one that was wreaking havoc across the globe; the Vietnam War. Hundreds of lives were being lost every single day for a cause we weren't even sure we should be fighting for, and Kennedy wished no longer to sacrifice our troops. He planned to take the troops out sooner, but his plan could not come through because he was assassinated on 11/22/1963. the eventual reality was that more troops were sent into Vietnam, and even more troops were lost in the conflict.
