Other - Politics & Government - July 2006

It seems like the canidates from both parties for the past 20 years or more talk to the general public like were 4th graders. Spewing out broad generalities and broken promises. They've made politics so damned confusing that no one can figure out whats really going on. I think this country would run alot better on the "keep it simple stupid" principal. It shouldn't take an accounting degree just to do your taxes or a PHD in bulls#it to understand whats going on in the world.

The UK goverment opposition leader has just made a speech telling us that we should "Hug a hoody" they are only lacking in love and affection!
For those not in the know these kids have great fun slapping other kids about while their friends record the 'innocent' event on their mobiles and post on to others ' so a good laugh is had by all!!
They usually wear hoods on their jackets so they cant be recognised, hence 'hoodies'!
I am not saying all kids that wear hoods are punks, just the majority!
Now just maybe the conservative leader could be right, they are lacking in love and not enough hugs, so we should look for them and give them a hug, is it a good idea??

I read an aritcle by Shelton Steil. White guilt and Western past.
it talked about why we fight war in such a minimalist fashion.
We feel guilt for being so Emperialistic and dominant in the past. We always feel that we have the moral lowground and need to prove we aren't mean selfish people. Thus, to denounce that stigma of our past we wont fight wars to win. We are more worried about our immage of compassion than we are American lives that fight for freedom. How long would it have taken us to win Vietnam and Iraq if we unleashed our full war power. 1 week tops. We fight like a great baseball team would give the less advantaged team 10 points so not as to appear boastful or too dominant. ( Weath Distribution) What happend to the (Strongest survive). The best team/ideas win) Winners and Losers. We are teaching our kids this now in the public schools. I'm not advocating only strong survive, but promoting rewards for winning, learning and effiecincy.

California entered the union as a free state, unlike Georgia. So should Californians be exempted? What about Californians whose ancestors came from Georgia?

There used to be communities of Quakers in North Carolina who were in conflict with their slave owning neighbors. Eventually many of these Quakers left North Carolina for free areas like Indiana. Should people descended from Quakers and other abolitionists be exempt?

Not all "African Americans" are descended from US held slaves. Some are immigrants from other slave holding societies, such as Haiti, and others emigrated to the US from Africa after the abolition of slavery.

Not all slave owners were "white". There were some "black" slave owners. Should descendents of black slave owners have to pay reparations?

Many "black" Americans are descended from "white" ancestors as well as "black" ones. Some "whites" may have some "black" ancestry. Will this have an effect on the value of reparations owed?

Let's say some commission decides that $20,000 per person is just compensation for slavery. What happens when ten or twenty years down the road we see that handing out lump sums of cash didn't change the basic relationships between "black" Americans and "white" Americans? Do more reparations have to be paid or will it be considered settled once and for all?

Are people descended from "whites" too poor to have owned slaves considered guilty merely because of their skin tone, or are they considered victims because they had to compete economically against wealthier "whites" who owned many slaves?

Supposedly we have the largest oil-shale deposits in the world right here in the USA and untold amounts in Alaska. Is this not a National Security issue worth putting aside some petty conservationists demands in order to stop FUNDING the very same groups who are intent on our demise? Imagine the boost to our own economy with huge investments in these areas and the countless jobs and businesses that would spring up at home.
