Politics & Government - 24 September 2006

We have seen America’s president and vice president, sworn to uphold the Constitution, advocating some of the same interrogation techniques the KGB used at the Lubyanka. They apparently believe beating, freezing, sleep deprivation and near-drowning are necessary to prevent terrorist attacks. So did Stalin.

To keep it short, I recieved a citation dated 2 days later than the supposed violation occured. The officer who signed cite did not observe nor witness any violation and showed up after crash that resulted from another driver being careless and driving too fast up the hill in a school zone. I already stopped at the stop sign as I'm supposed to, no oncoming traffic either direction. Proceeded through, and the other driver made a slight left to cause damage to her front passenger side after colliding with my back quarter panel. Plan to contest it on those grounds. Any thoughts? court appearance not necessary as on the ticket, but I will appear anyway to protest it.

This is from the Bible. So called God's word or madeup by those Neocons. Hence the many versions.

Kill All of Babylon

"Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD. "Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction". (Jeremiah 50:21-22 NLT)

We have been there once before and left so now it is happening all over again. If we leave now then we will just be going back later. We should stay and finish the job. Why do people want us to just give up?

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

What does the Bible say about beating slaves? It says you can beat both male and female slaves with a rod so hard that as long as they don't die right away you are cleared of any wrong doing.

Is there corruption? What freedoms, if any, are lacking? Does the government do a good job of protecting its citizens?

Or, to put it the other way, if we protect the born who are undergoing child abuse, then should not we all the more protect the unborn, who are even more defenseless? Abortion is child abuse of the worst kind.

"The unborn baby is not really human until it is born."

Answer: First of all, if it is not human before it is born, then what is it? It is not a mineral or a vegetable. It is not an animal such as a dog or a monkey. In fact, it is not an animal at all; it is a human being. Cows give birth to cows; horses give birth to horses. No medical person has any difficulty identifying an unborn dog as a dog, or an unborn pig as a pig. Why should there be any question about an unborn human?

Does this statement mean they are human only when they change their location and move outside the womb? Since when does where one lives determine one's humanity? The difference between babies that are born and those that are unborn is not their essential nature; it is simply a matter of size and location. Accidental or circumstantial characteristics such as size or place cannot determine whether or not a being is human.

"1995: For the first time, though not the last, the government of Sudan offers the US all of its files on bin Laden and al-Qaeda. The US turns down the offer. Bin Laden had been living in Sudan since 1991, because there were no visa requirements to live there. Sudan was surveilling him, collecting a "vast intelligence database on Osama bin Laden and more than 200 leading members of his al-Qaeda terrorist network... [The US was] offered thick files, with photographs and detailed biographies of many of his principal cadres, and vital information about al-Qaeda's financial interests in many parts of the globe." [Guardian, 9/30/01]"

Md. State Police Stop Suspicious Vehicle; No Charges

LAUREL, Md. - Maryland State Police say they released a 24-year-old Israeli man without charges Friday night after questioning him about photographing the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore.

Investigators say another motorist reported that a man driving a green Dodge minivan was using a camera and appeared to be taking pictures as he drove through the tunnel.

Police say the van continued south on Interstate-95 and then turned back in the other direction near Laurel.

A bomb-sniffing dog checked out the car but did not find any explosives.

Police say they found a laptop computer and a digital camera containing pictures of the tunnel inside the van, but nothing else suspicious.
