In an interview with Fortune Magazine’s Nina Easton, Dick Cheney conceded that as Halliburton CEO he opposed unilateral sanctions on Iran, even though he now strongly supports them.

Cheney explained that as a private sector official, he didn’t have any responsibility to be concerned about the impact of his company’s dealings with Iran:

Q: You opposed unilateral sanctions on Iran when you were CEO of Halliburton.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I did…That’s a whole set of considerations that a CEO doesn’t have to worry about, that a private company doesn’t have to worry about. But the President of the United States does.

Maybe 10% sales tax on all goods?

Since its all going on credit you basically are adding a future tax, why not pay it now instead of adding interest to it?

*sings*

When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kind of human
If I only had a heart

I'd be tender, I'd be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows
And the boy that shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart.


I guess Cheney had an irregular heartbeat that needed fixing today and the song just jumped into my head.

Trying to operate on Cheney's heart has to be as difficult as performing brain surgery on Jessica Simpson.

And what could the consequences be?

I am still unsure about this as could open a can of worms (mind you Rudd loved the worm!!). His Sorry has to be very well scripted to prevent landslide legal action that could have financial difficultly for our great country, besides that yes say sorry.

Your thoughts people?

Do you understand what this means?
****************************

Martin Niemoeller, a German theologian and anti-war activist, was made famous by a poem he wrote during the Nazi takeover of Europe:

"First they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me".

For all the Americans who keep bleating, "I'm not affected. I've done nothing wrong. Doesn't apply to me"



Do you understand that our rights have been fought for and paid for with blood? That it has taken this country over 250 years to get where we are today? And that with three pieces of legislation bush has destroyed all of that?

I'll be the first to admit, I love clicking little news stories and developing elaborate opinions on issues. The Iraq War,
the Middle East, political science, elections, religion...

But I've actually done very little academic reading in any of these fields. I don't read books devoted to these topics. My knowledge is completely anecdotal.

And based on nearly all posts on Y! Answers, for example, it appears as though most people are in my boat. Nobody's citing actual literature written by anyone credible. And it seems like the people who still take a walk to the public library in order to inform themselves tend to be so introverted anyway that their knowledge only increases their salary, but isn't professed to the more ignorant masses.

Has the internet made it too easy to gain cheap mass media knowledge of issues and then form super strong opinions?

How do we correct this?

That means you will earn your own way. Why do people think that I as a God fearing person should pay for their medicine or housing when they are not earning their keep per the bible and then have the never to say since I will not give into their extortion I am not a Christian?

It is a false dilemma at best two (2) options are given and there are clearly better alternatives, like I keep what I earn.
