Politics & Government - 3 January 2007

I recenlty traveled to mexico city ....possibly the largest city in the world ( 25 million) . The people I met were like most people in the usa..they work , they buy homes, they raise famillies, they are religious , they are political ...and most interesting they did not express any great interest in immigrating to america. Although poverty is very evident, it is clear to me why a poor person would want to come to the usa to improve his/her life and their families.
In fact, that is exaclty why people came here in the first place...And that is why we fought a revolution....Poverty creates crisis..crime..& .revolution...Is a fence the right answer to this perplexing question?

This was due to a botched assasination attempt of Saddam. In the 1990's the U.S. launched a cruise and tomahawk missile attack into the Iraq Defense Ministry in retaliation for a botched assasination attempt on the first President Bush. This country (U.S.) claims the moral high road and yet Saddam was hanged with humiliation.

I hear people talking about the death toll in Iraq and making such a big deal out of it. I do feel sorry for the soldiers that lost their lives and I feel sorry for their families. But the number game has got to stop.

We lost at least 618,000 soldiers in the Civil War.

We lost 400,000 soldiers in 4 years in WW1, not counting the other countries.
http://www.warchronicle.com/numbers/WWII/deaths.htm

We lost 500,000 soldiers in 6 years in WW2, not counting the other countries.

We lost 36,940 soldiers in 3 years in The Korean War.

We lost 58,156 soldiers in 10 years in The Vietnam War.

I'm not for war, but considering how long we've been in Iraq, this number is exceptionally low. Does anyone else agree?

If not - does anyone think it is a bit of bi-partisian fol-de-roll that we had one for Gerald Ford? I know that the current President gets to decide.... but when two historical figures who shared the same title pass away within a short time frame, wouldn't you think that decorum would dictate that some assembelace of consistence be followed?

With Hollywood looking for all types of inspiration for new movies, why not the liberal power grab of 2006? Clearly, using Nancy Ps own words, The top of the agenda was regaining power. Obviouisly the answer to Iraq wasnt there or the Democratic..."answer" woudlve been publicized. With the intent of the tax and spend policies to obvious, my first thought was you could call it the Shortened life of the american tax payer, and given the clear effect of the tax and spend policies in the works for January it would be an over 18 only with lots of hard core action...Im curious to see what your title and rating might be.

Already it has been decided whether or not people can smoke...
does anyone care anyway? Incidentally. I never have, but am I starting to notice subtle changes building to a bigger picture?

I am beginning to wonder if all the governments are just as bad, especially if a single government is where we are heading anyway.

Property Taxes what happen if you dont paid them. Does the state buy the property tax bill,or do they sell the property? I own 50% of a property that is in estate should I paid the taxes, or wait until they are sold on the courthouse steps, than add fees to the estate? Oh yes has been in the court system for 2 1/2 years and has 16 heirs. Property Taxes are $400.00

My government is NOT controling our borders and there is no work unless you are an illegal. I want to work I just need a job! Now my government is going to give SSI benefits to the illegals. There isn't going to be any SSI in the next 10-15 years and now the government is giving benefits away!!

I think D. E. was the best from all of the history books I have read about him. Todays presidents have done nothing to improve us in any way. We are getting involved in wars that we should have never been in, lending out money to the same countries that still owed us money, and letting disbelievers tell us want and when we can be what we want to be or do.
