Jong-Il, Musharraf and Mugabe are genuine threats to their region or their people but the Republicans are relatively silent or supportive of these. Chavez is neither militarily aggressive nor oppressing his people.

Capitalism is a great economic system, but not a form of government. While many people invest in corporations, only a few who with large shares in the corporation have any say in how the corporation is ran. It is extremely difficult to hold corporations responsible for their actions, because usually it is the innocent, who had no connection what so ever with the crimes, that wind up paying through loss of jobs, retirement funding, and investment money, while the real perpetrators walk away free with all the money. It is hard to tell who is operating things behind the mask of the corporate identity in it's many extensions, branches, and forms. In my opinion, corporate control leads back to feudalism, and turns us all into wage slaves to a psychotic nameless faceless identity that can not be held responsible for it's actions.

My friend just got arrested at Best Buy last night for trying to steal two games, totalling under $150. We picked him up and gave the police $100 because they said that's how much it would cost to get him out. Now, after reading some papers they gave him, it says something like Bail $1000/10% $100. Is he going to have to pay $1000 at court or something? We don't understand this whole process. Thanks.

I live in Texas and I am seeing more and more that Americans are becoming the minority in America. Now I'm not just talking about white people, this is not a race issue, there are plenty of hispanic Americans but the illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico seem to be taking over the country! Now some will say that they do our "undesirable" jobs....ya they may mow the lawns or build the highways but I know some people that would love to have a JOB...undesireable even and they can't find them. There needs to be a better plan to dissuade illegal immigration, they are BREAKING THE LAW. They are eating up our resources, using up our tax money, taking jobs and affordable housing from hard working Americans (black, white, brown, yellow or otherwise) who are living in this country the legal way. Maybe we should all follow suit with the town in Texas that makes it a punishable crime to rent to and employ illegal immigrants. Its time to take our country back!

It said in the paper today that a Polish newspaper had printed on how to get benefits, houses etc over in Britain and said how easy it is. Are all other countries going to get hold of this and then start coming over too. Who thinks we should take a page out of the Australian book and start clamping down before we become a complete laughing stock around the entire world?

by Paul Joseph Watson
The mother of a soldier who died in an apparent vehicle accident shortly after writing a New York Times op-ed critical of the war in Iraq is demanding to know the truth about what happened to her son, while another author of the piece was also shot in the head in a case that bears a sinister resemblance to the murder of Pat Tillman.

Like Tillman, 28-year-old Sergeant Omar Mora enlisted shortly after 9/11 in the belief that he was fighting to protect his country from terrorists.

However, after the invasion of Iraq Mora became increasingly skeptical of the true agenda behind the war and in August he, along with six other active duty soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division, wrote a stinging New York Times op-ed that slammed the occupation as "flawed," "absurd," and concluded that the sentiment of the Iraqi people renders the ultimate withdrawal of American troops inevitable.
The op-ed directly contradicts the foundation of the Patraeus report and characterizes the occupation as doomed to failure if the Bush administration's current policy is continued.
Just over three weeks after the op-ed was published, two of its authors, Mora and Sgt. Yance T. Gray, were killed in an apparent vehicle accident when their truck veered off an elevated highway in western Baghdad and fell about 30 feet, the military said. Was this a simple accident or another Pat Tillman style cover-up? Was a message being sent to other soldiers who are considering speaking out against the war that dissent has deadly consequences?

Even if we are to dismiss the truck wreck as nothing more than an accident, another factor that has received next to no press attention should send red flags up for everyone.

A third author of the letter was also shot in the head in a separate incident during the time when the op-ed was being written. Though Staff Sgt. Jeremy Murphy survived and is expected to make a full recovery, the fact that three of the seven authors of the op-ed were either killed or received life-threatening injuries shortly before and after the publication of the piece is highly suspicious.

Sergeant Mora's mother certainly has questions - and is now demanding the Army provide a full account of the circumstances that led to her son's death.

After the op-ed was published Mora became depressed and wanted to return home. "He told me, 'Mama, I am tired, I am so tired. I want to come home,' " his mother, Olga Capetillo, recalled of a recent phone conversation," reports the Houston Chronicle.

As we reported in July, the revelation of astounding new details surrounding the death of Pat Tillman clearly indicated that top brass decided to execute the former pro football star in cold blood to prevent him from returning home and becoming an anti-war icon.

Medical examiners concluded that the Army Ranger was shot with an M-16 three times in the head from a mere 10 yards away. The close proximity of the bullet holes raised suspicions that foul play was involved but attempts to launch a proper investigation were stymied by higher-ups

My 1st ammendment rights are being stepped on. I can't get get a straight answer from you people or any answer at all. Why do you let obviously goofy questions get posted but goofy answers arn't allowed? I get notices of violations when I answer a question that is obviously a joke or an attempt to provoke a negative reponse. When I see a question that's intended to provoke these responses I answer in the same tone. Maybe I'm wrong in my thinking....you people must think that all the questions asked are serious. Excuse me...I'll stand back and watch from now on. I'll just help the kids with their homework and the people that can't program a VCR. gimme a break.

Did you know this? That since they have failed to pass comprehensive immigration reform cause the american people were so much against it...that the pro amnesty lawmakers are now trying to sneak it bits and parts of it as part of other really important pieces of legislation like military funding bills etc...that must be passed urgently. It is important that you do not sit by and let them get away with this. Call and write your lawmakers just as aggressively to let them know you will not stand for any amnesty of any sort and no guest workers of any sort. Plus complain about foreign truck drivers being allowed to drive in USA and bring loads from Mexico and Canada.
