I thought that when one works for an agency like the CIA...as a 'spy', then the 'spy' should NEVER have to think about/worry about being outed by anyone in and around the Oval Office?
So...what's up with this Scooter Libby-Karl Rove-Robert Novak-
Valerie Plame thingy?

I know the word Inhumane is subjective, but where does one draw the line between acceptable human behavior and just plain craziness… everyday on the news we hear more and more tragic scenarios that are caused by humans. Ruthless things we do to each other. It’s so common now that the shock factor is diminishing… We see more and more bad news on the news we just sigh and go on with our everyday lives. Would one consider sitting on your butt and turning the channel after hearing a woman just micro waved her infant inhumane or just too bad? I asked this question because my mother and I were talking about Spike lee’s documentary “When the Levees Broke”. There was a scene in the documentary were the rescuers had to rescue people by fishing them out of the water and placing them on a bride that connected New Orleans to a neighboring town. And when the bride was full of people they began to walk into the next town for refuge. And instead of the people accepting them with open arms; the Sherriff of the town gathered his men and blocked the entrance to the town by lining up them shoulder to shoulder and gave them guns to keep these people out. And they threatened to shoot them if they persisted. They rejected hundreds and hundreds of cold, wet, hungry people... no water to drink to food no clothes people who were in pain and hurting already. And whatever condition that town was in the people were surly doing worse… The town may have been in bad shape as well but brutal denial does not help the suffering. And that’s just one example things like that are happening all the time. “Inhumane” Are Brutal acts, which people are simply incapable of doing, happening everyday so much that the word’s definition is beginning to no longer exist? Humans are acting more animalistic than most animals, where do we draw the line?

Will try to assassinate Hilary and Obama prior to the election?

I am by no means condoning or advocating such action, I just can't help but wonder how far someone is willing to go to ensure neither a woman or a black man is elected President of the United States.

Addictions for sure. But what about the innocents affected by
those with addictions? Partners, children? What about those with serious emotional problems who can't help themselves?
Do you know we pay trillions of dollars to help the underpriviledged
in this country, only to have the people who are supposed to help them leave them out on the streets to die? Because they take a personal dislike to someone or have a "bad hair" day? And they don't even care?
Shouldn't Government set the example? Instead of justifying negligence by complaining about paperwork and being
back-logged?
I'm not trying to kill them like they're killing us. It's the stinking attitude we have to deal with that needs confrontation. And if they make a mistake, it needs to be corrected.
Stand up! Get organized. Use confrontation, but be reasonable and fair.

about time huh?
Convinced this is their moment, tens of thousands marched Saturday in an anti-war demonstration linking military families, ordinary people and an icon of the Vietnam protest movement in a spirited call to get out of Iraq.

Celebrities, a half-dozen lawmakers and protesters from distant states rallied in the capital under a sunny sky, seizing an opportunity to press their cause with a Congress restive on the war and a country that has turned against the conflict.

Marching with them was Jane Fonda, in what she said was her first anti-war demonstration in 34 years.

"Silence is no longer an option," Fonda said to cheers from the stage on the National Mall. The actress once derided as "Hanoi Jane" by conservatives for her stance on Vietnam said she had held back from activism so as not to be a distraction for the Iraq anti-war movement, but needed to speak out now.

Today, 10,000 people marched in one of the biggest protests against war since Vietnam.

People from all walks of life were there; military families, polititians, even Jane Fonda who protested against the war in Vietnam.

What is your opinion, tell me why you have that opinion.

*Something to remember-This country is built on the foundation that our government is to act "of the people, by the people and for the people".*
