Current Events - November 2007

i think that with 300 million people all getting free health care,it will cause such a back-log,it is a bad pointless idea,clinton knows this,yet thinks most american are dumb,when most are,theirs a lot that is not,canadians come here for heatlth matters,what will people do when it will take up too a year for "free" surgerys,or months for mamo-grams,doctor appointments will be even longer than they already are,so im wondering am i the only one who see,s this as very,very disatorus for this country?

Yeah, didn't think so, given your motives are not to end child neglect but to castigate other people.

Margaret Thatcher has spawned a generation of incredibly selfish and warped people in this country, many of whom loiter on Current Events.

Makes you feel ashamed to be British sometimes.

Read Carefully My Black Brothers And Sisters - and remember stand stall and never give up!?
The new age is upon us
And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave
For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man
shall stand before God!!! It has begun
The beginning of the end
Yeah..
Yeah... yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran
They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Read about the history of the place that we live in
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

[Verse 2]
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'
And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom
Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
Where nobody gives a **** whether you die or you live
I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
You don't give a **** about us, I can see through your facade
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
***** *** black people scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
While you hanging your flag out your project window

[Talking]
Yeah..
The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
As if their opinion was at all unbiased
A machine shouldn't speak for men
So shut the **** up you mindless drone!
And you know it's serious
When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
To try to convince you they're fair and balanced
When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people
Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!
We don't get weapons contracts, brother
We don't get cheap labor for our companies,!
We are cheap labor, brother
Turn off the news and read,
Read... read... read... brother

The guy dies in a hospital in WINSTON SALEM

Fight over cigarette leads to murder
Iredell County

Statesville police have charged a 20-year-old man with murder following a fight over a cigarette. Princeton Keon Summers of Statesville was charged with second-degree murder Sunday, said Assistant Chief Tom Anderson.Michael Staunton, 46, of Statesville joined Summers about 5:30 p.m. last Wednesday as Summers was hanging out on a porch. Summers asked Staunton for a cigarette, and when Staunton said he didn't have one, Summers struck him, Anderson said. Staunton was knocked from the porch and hit his head on concrete.

He died from his injuries Saturday at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Summers is being held in the Iredell County jail under a $250,000 secured bond. --

There's been speculation aplenty over the last few days which points to Madeleine having been snatched to order and spirited away.
Lets assume this could be true, and that Madeleine is alive.
The McCanns have apparently been advised to not show any emotion during interviews in case the abductor 'gets off' on her grief.
If she IS alive, maybe its time to 'let it all out' on camera as the previous advise obviously hasn't worked?

I think if there is hope of finding the child alive, then to come out with this is putting her in danger.
I`ve not posted many opinions on this case but this seems to be very unprofessional to me.

We read that Relatives of Robert Murat, the first suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, have asked publicist Max Clifford to help them clear his name.

Mr Clifford has said he would be willing to represent Mr Murat, a father of one, but only once he is no longer a formal suspect in the case.

In view of the McTeam ranged against him, can you blame Murat in trying to clear his name ?

Not that Clifford says he will only help Murat once he is no longer a susecs, while a whole army of cronies and hangers on are prepared to associate with the two MAIN SUSPECTS and serial child neglectors in the case.

We read with some confusion that Gerry McCann has spoken of his belief that "a predator" was watching his family in the days before his daughter Madeleine's disappearance.

Perhaps I'm dim here but if you believe that somebody is stalking your children would it not be wise to tell the Police ? or at the very least NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN ALONE AT NIGHT WHILE YOU GO OUT ON THE PISS ? But what do I know ?

I've come to rely upon the Yahoo answer community for a while now for answers to my most probing questions, but this latest urban myth is ridicuolus. Here is the story...

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an
ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.
For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321.
The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the
ATM card you placed in the machine.
The machine will still give you the money you requested,
but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched
to help you. This information was recently broadcasted on FOX TV
and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

Please pass this along to everyone possible.

she says her child had been vomiting that night. She still went out to the bar leaving the child alone. On the surface the children in that fated party seem to be privileged, but imagine being in that childs place. When young children feel ill their emotional and physical need for mommy and daddy is even greater isn't it? When I was young I never got foriegn holidays or lived in a big house, but I think I got so much more of the things money can't buy. Is the lifestyle choice these parents made just a sign of the times?
