Politics - 11 August 2007

For instance, by law Americans are not allowed to enter Cuba, or any company to invest in it. Also, 18yos are not allowed to vote or drink alcohol, but they can choose (or be chosen) to go to war. Also, sometimes some songs are banned in the US, like "Shoot the dog" of George Michael (I didn't know the Government still banned songs!!!). Does anyone knows more things in that Americans are not free to do?

18 yrs of age be required to register and be drafted just like men?


During a recent Democratic debate, both Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama indicated that all female U.S. citizens should register for the Selective Service. Neither candidate was as ridiculous as former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, who said, when it comes to men and women being drafted, "What's the difference?" But the radical and dangerous implications of the front-runners' policies are not that far from Gravel's query.

Religious fundamentalists are united by fear. Whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Jew, fear is the common denominator. They fear change, modernization and loss of influence. They fear that the young will abandon the churches, mosques and synagogues for physical and material gratification. They fear the influence of mass media and its ability to subvert the young with song, dance, fashion, alcohol, drugs, sex and freedom. They especially fear education if it undermines the teachings of their religion. They fear a future they can’t control, or even comprehend.

Perhaps it’s not surprising to realize that it is fear that also connects the myriad of nationalist, separatist and independence movements who also engage in political violence. Although experts, academics and analysts hypothesize about a multitude of causal effects that lead to violence and terrorism, fear is the underlying.

I think the only reason people deny global warming is because they are too selfish to make a sacrafice for humanity.

He is dumping billions of dollars to try and help the predatory loans practices of lenders who have once again spent ten years making crazy loans and making huge salaries and profits from it knowing full well that it was going to fail .

It was just another scam .


SO why is it, honest, working, tax paying Americans get stuck footing the bill for these obviously criminal scams perpetrated on the people .

Those who created these loan programs sold them and profited from them made billions and now when its all going to come tumbling down the government is going to bail it out .


Are you as sick and tired of rich criminals walking away with millions for their criminal acts .

And why would Bush veto it if it passed? The only objection I can read is that it wouldn't help lower prices much...which no evidence supports.
It already passed the House.

Should a virtual state, a state with no common boundary, be offered the the Native American Nations? As such, Native Americans would be allowed 2 senators and representatives in the house in proportion to their population.
What about it? Is it time that the first Americans have their own voice in the affairs of government of their native country?
