Politics & Government - 26 February 2007

Think about it. You slash a politician's salary, and suddenly the money that they're being handed under the table looks all the more appealing. Suddenly the whole nation is run by oil companies, pharmaceuticals and other "big businesses" with enough dough to buy Congress.

What do you think?

Is it a war crime if our soldiers murder members of the enemy force? I know that harming innocent civilians without probable cause constitutes a crime, but do laws also protect enemy soldiers? That wouldn't make sense, would it, because isn't killing the enemies one of the primary objects of war?

An old employee of mine is getting out of jail next week and states he is coming for me!!! Three years ago I was this man's sales manager and we were on the road. It got late and him and another co-worker were hungry. They pulled up to a McDonalds at 10:59 (sign said they closed at 11:00) and were refused service. Words were exchanged and the man who is now after me (we'll call him Fred) threw a huge rock right through the window. They came back to the hotel & the next thing you know Fred was involved in a physical may lay with the police that came for him. He was sentenced to 2 years in prison.

He now states it was my sales training that have him such confidence he could have done something like that and get away from it. Furthermore, I did not write or call Fred while he was in jail and he keeps saying "Not one phone call or letter". Further goes on to state he will make an example out of me for selling him down the river. What can I do???

Last spring, I was hit by a driver who was being chased by the police. He managed to cause some pretty bad cosmetic damage to my vehicle and thankfully nobody was hurt. My insurance couldn't do anything because I only have liability on my vehicle and the vehicle that hit me was stolen. I have to go to court over this in March (almost a year later). What are the chances of me actually getting money to get my vehicle fixed?

Now, I'm not saying that what the Americans did was great, but isn't there a bias in our history here? We teach our children about the trail of tears and such, but rarely do we discuss the natives rushing villages and scalping innocent men, women, and children for no reason. Weren't there autrocities on both sides? Can we really say that one side was any better than the other when both frequently attacked innocent people? Also, am I wrong for seeing this as a typical war over land? To me, it is no different than most wars in history. Two groups of people wanted a land for themselves and couldn't find a way to share it peacefully. War occurs and one group wins, as typically happens. Should white americans really feel bad for winning this war and keeping the land we fought for?

I could list 100 or more individual financial burdons of foreign nature taken on by our government that I believe the people's say has no authority. (and it should) Most of these donations/gifts, what ever they are called, were not approved by the people of the United States or they were approved by government and kept from the people. Most of these giving programs have no date set for them to end!

I think the United States Government would have more than enough money for SSI, Medical Insurance and many other programs to help the american people if some or all of the foreign giving programs were stopped.

I would like to see someone in the white house, either presidential or otherwise that would come up with a way to allow the people to decide if they wanted to continue to fund thes countries or not. Someone has got to hear this and make it a priority on their list of things that would help the people of the United States.

Help me out here.
