.....because they think it helps the 'economy'...at any expense?


Is that a good value? What would Jesus think about unregulated capitalism run amok?

Are Jesus' values in line with Capitalized medicine and pharmaceutical greed, gluttonous wasteful agribusiness and corporate farming, the lust for oil (money), even though there are better alternatives in order to be better 'stewards' of the earth? materialism, and "go shopping" in to fight terrorism?
conflict of interest in government for the lust of money money money.

I am looking for your comments please. Do you feel that this is right or should we leave the system as it has always been. After all what about alcoholics, drug addicts, people with eating disorders and even those sports people who injure themselves by taking chances.

Ok...I went to the car dealer specifically for the $299.00 / month x 39 months lease special. $2000 down plus the first month payment. THey pull my credit and say that I don't qualify for a lease (even though my last two cars have been leased and NO late payments.) BUT they have "great news! and some "good numbers". I do qualify to buy...for the SAME $2000 / down but $560 / month x 72 Months!!!!!

So to recap...
Don't qualify to lease at $299 / month x 39 months, BUT
Do qualify to BUY for $560 / month x 72 months!

Who can tell me WHAT IS UP WITH THAT??? I walked out!

Obama suggested it after John Howard (President of Australia) was talking all big about helping in Iraq. Right now Australia has 1000 troops (mostly non-combat troops) in Iraq. If the international community got involved this whole mess could be fixed, but no... every other nation has the right to be a bunch of panties.

What do you think?

Or to the entire world for that matter? Here are just a few of the Crimes Bush has committed...

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of hundereds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions on governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.

19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the

According to this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6346931.stm
China has a surplus of males. Maybe America can help. Since there is an increasing number of American males who don't like girls - well, at least they don't want to marry a girl, maybe America could import some of these Chinese males of marriageable age to fill the vacuum. Or does anyone have any other ideas as to how we can help China solve this growing problem?

Thanks, Henrietta
