Civic Participation

te a letter to accusing the US:

n your conscience, and on those of the leaders of the world's richest states, lies the genocide which is implicit in the death, every year, of more than 10 million children and tens of millions more people who could be saved. These deaths are the result of a vast assortment of pillage and robbery practiced against Third World countries through the unjust and no longer sustainable world economic order that the rich countries have imposed to the detriment of 80 percent of this planet's population.

Al-Quaida, the LTTE, the IRA, can I lump them all together? No wonder the Americans are on the rampage, and out of control.
What can I do to stop this senseless slaughter? Just to think of the great crusaders, such as mohatma Ghandi, could he, or Mohammed, or Jesus...........help ? Even now this question can not be catergorized.

Rush Limbaugh caught with Viagra prescribed to someone else
Associated Press

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Investigators were trying to determine Tuesday whether Rush Limbaugh violated a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case when authorities found he had a bottle of Viagra that was apparently prescribed to someone else.

Limbaugh, 55, was detained for more than three hours Monday at Palm Beach International Airport after he returned on his private plane from a vacation in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials found Viagra in his bag, but his name wasn't on the prescription, Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Paul Miller said.

Limbaugh's lawyer, Roy Black, said the prescription was written in Limbaugh's doctor's name "for privacy purposes." The conservative radio host was released without being charged and investigators confiscated the Viagra, which treats erectile dysfunction.

Limbaugh joked about the search on his radio show Tuesday, saying Customs officials didn't believe him when he said he got the pills at the Clinton Library and he was told they were blue M&Ms. He later added, chuckling: "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic. Wish I could tell you about it."

Politicians are defeating the people of this country (both republican and democrat) by dividing us through "value" issues. Instead of working together to make sure our gov't does the right thing, we are fighting each other. We are divided on everything.

Question 1: Will the American people wake up from this and begin to question our leaders and our media?

Question 2: What will the major consequences of this divide be in 10 years? Could it lead to civil war, secession of certain states from the union (if that's even possible), or a breakdown in intelligence that results in nuclear, biological, chemical or other terrorist attacks IN the US?

If only men were allowed to vote... as "popular" as Bill C was... Bob Dole would have won by a landslide. As a matter of fact, the only way a Dem can get elected is if they get the woman vote.

Tests have proven these machines are vulnerable to outside hacking, even by wireless devices. In one recent electing in California, poll workers were allowed to take these machines home. Tests in Florida demonstrated that results could be totally reversed -- the Hursti tests. People from all ends of the spectrum, from Brad Friedman of BradBlog to Lou Dobbs, to a radio host who subs for Rush Limbaugh have been trying to raise awareness, but it hasn't been working. (And no one has been mentioning the possible link between Diebold and Abramoff.)
If we can't trust our votes will be counted correctly, if election results are a test of hacking rather than issues or participation, we are in trouble.

How can we make this problem more visible?
