Government - February 2007

Lets say hypothetically I get an uninhabited island out in the middle of the pacific. If I buy it from a nation, do they still have legal precedence over it or is it effectively my own nation?
If it's theirs, can I succeed?
If I succeed, what kind of retaliation can I expect?

And finally, were I to successfully find an uncharted, unclaimed island and claimed it, starting my own nation, what should be my major priorities insofar as being a nation?

Tell me bleeding hearts, do you really think any of the TRILLONS of dollars that we doled out would ever come back in our time of need? Foriegn aid is an endless pit that only funds corrupt governments of starving nations.

I just read a story on Yahoo news about Robert Mugabe threatening the remaining white farmers that he is going to "unleash" the police on them if they don't abandon their farms. Here you have a country with the highest inflation in the world(over a 1000%). Millions of people starving and he's threatening to destroy the few remaining people who are trying to help him. He has stolen thousands of white owned farms, so that he can give them back to blacks. Nevermind the fact that most all of the people he's giving farms to do not know the first thing about farming. What a complete moron, how do people like this get voted into power?? How do they stay?? Are Zimbabwe's people really that dumb??

UNC-Chapel Hill is a depository library, which means that we get all the US federal documents that are not classified. Who is in charge of making sure we get these items. Additionally, my understanding is that if you request any document in a foreign language, it will be translated for you. Who does this? Is there any official set of languages for which their are translators?

This morning I had a flat tire and tried to solve my problem using Liberal solutions.
1- I blamed George Bush for not passing a law requiring tire companies to manufacture tires that last for ever.

2- I sat down with the tire and said I understood why he blew, and they he certainly had the right too.

3- I threatened the other tires with giving them less air and giving it to the blown tire.


4- I again cursed George Bush for cutting taxes on the rich and not providing a gov't tire Changer on the highway every hundred yards or so.

All this did no good

So I acted like a conservative and changed the tire myself. Very much like a conservative because the donut tire was a minority, the little guy and hadn't had nearly the training the other tires have.
I feel guilty for doing this as I was trying to be a good liberal. Why is it liberal solutions never work in every day situations yet conservative prinicples of get off your lazy *** and do it yourself do?

Why do they not hold him accountable?
When he had 5 chances to kill Bin Laden, and took niehter of them?
And also how he refused to take action against Al Qaeda groups after we were attacked 4 times?
(-WTC, 2 U.S embassy attacks, and the U.S.S Cole)
Why does Clinton get a free pass when it was his ignorance of terror groups starting in the middle east that led led to 9/11?
Some people will follow Clinton to the grave.
