Government - August 2007

I guess I am asking for Americans in particular, but I think it is universal. Do you have any examples of how money corrupts society today?

Why do we as American citizens put up with this crap. Our country is becoming a police state and police brutality will rise as a result. It's time to fight the system and stop the tyranny. Under the current Bush administration the constitution is slowly fading. Why can't most American citizens see this. It's in your faces.

NO to the NWO....

Time and again we see nations encroaching, fighting, lying, denying and doing things which would be called unethical and immoral in our day to day lives.

I quote an example, “Between 1945 and 2005 the United States has attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements struggling against intolerable regimes... In the process, the U.S. caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair.”

US is not the only nation to do this, but is the most recent and brazen example of this behaviour.

How many of you think that any action, be it immoral or unethical, is justified to further one's national interest? Or should we judge a country's collective actions within the same parameters as we would judge individual actions?

Help me with the logic here. Its o.k. not to pay taxes and ask the government for grants to provide services but then they don't want to deliver those services?

The churches used to fill the role that the government now does, yet they are still tax emempt and are grant eligible. I don't understand?

Usually I find that sort of rebel spirit admirable, so why does it feel different coming from him?

It's not a James Dean type spirit. With him, it's more like a "I just killed some kids and I have no remorse" sort of thing.
