Politics - 17 December 2007

Tthe Sixteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution was ratified (illegally) on February 3, 1913.

The Federal Reserve System, created in 1913, is a private banking system of the United States.

Are these events connected in that the government knew that by creating the Federal Reserve, they could print up money and go into debt almost without limit; however to pay for all the interest on sums of money that the Federal Reserve "loans" to the government using bonds, the government knew they would need a massive new income tax to finance the interest payments on all the debts? How do you feel knowing that the government is taking the money you worked for and is using it to pay the interest payments on reckless and unethical spending?

Didn't your father ever tell you life is what YOU make of it and that nobody said life was fair? We are only guranteed the pursuit of happiness, not an equal playing field. Don't any of them have any good old fashioned american gumption in them? Why do they so believe in collectivism rather than the spirit of the individual?

how does this song relate to social change?

here are the lyrics...

me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could
now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it

so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want

that's why we're waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's not that we don't care,
we just know that the fight ain't fair
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

and we're still waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
one day our generation
is gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

the uranium needed to run their power plant?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071217/ap_on_re_mi_ea/russia_iran

"But Iran said it would continue its enrichment activities at a separate facility, in the central city of Natanz, to provide fuel for another nuclear reactor."

Couldn't Russia just provide uranium for hat plant as well?

Why do they still want that technology?

"If that's the case — if the Russians are willing to do that, which I support — then the Iranians do not need to learn how to enrich," Bush said in Fredricksburg, Va. "If the Iranians accept that uranium for civilian nuclear power, then there's no need for them to learn how to enrich."

Bush also reiterated his view that "Iran's a danger to peace," despite a recent U.S. intelligence estimate that found Iran halted a nuclear weapons program in 2003.

"My attitude hasn't changed toward Iran," he said. "If somebody had a weapons program, what's to say they couldn't start it up tomorrow?"

Your thoughts...

If as some suggest we do away with pestidides,fertilizers(chemical),and corporate farms in an effort to reduce emissions related to green house gasses,how will we replace the food lost to insects,disease,and lowered production?
And,how will we force the American consumer to pay more for a limited food supply,when we already hear complaints about current food prices?

As many people around the World continue in their amazement over the total moral and economic collapse of the American Nation, a possible new clue as to why this so was revealed this past week with the United States Department of Justice announcing the staggering rate in which their government has been jailing their own citizens, and which now stands at 7 million Americans. According to these reports, 'A record 7 million people - or one in every 32 American adults - were behind bars, on probation or on parole by the end of last year', and when these figures are added to the estimated 1 million prisoners of war held by the Untied States, all around the World, the once great American Nation has now become the greatest jailer of human beings the World has ever known.

I work hard at a job and take night classes. I have been rewarded for my work by a 35% raise over the past three years. I am in the process of starting my own business on the side. I save my money and invest in the stock market.
Follow up question, despite all this I have horrible health care from my company and have not been able to find an affordable health for myself. Don't I deserve better health care?

Hillary's campaign is going to have a new strategy to show her "likability".

I guess this means we can see more of her extra wide, Tom Cruise-like, wide eyed, fake smile. She can pretend she's a woman of the people.

It will probably work on some people but I think most of us know what a mean, vicious person she really is. There are just too many stories out there.

By the way, I don't feel that a mean, vicious person would necessarily be a bad President.

President Bush visits a State School and after giving a speech about US national and foreign policies, he answers questions to students. A kid sitting in last row raises his hand and says:
“Hi my name is Jimmy, I would like to ask you three questions
1. Why did u cheated your way into the white house?
2. Why couldn’t you prevent September 11th terrorist attack?
3. Why are we at war with Iraq? “
When the president was about to answer, the school bell rang and the students began their break time.
After the break, Bush says “does anyone else have another question?
A boy raises his hand and says “ Hello Mr President my name is Tommy, I would like to ask you five questions
1. Why did u cheated your way into the white house?
2. Why couldn’t you prevent September 11th terrorist attack
3. Why are we at war with Iraq?
4. Why did the school bell ring 20 minutes sooner?

Donors met today to pledge money to the Palesinine state. All together, $7.4Billion were pledged for their 2008 fiscal year. Donors included, the US, France, Germany and the UK.

That is excellent.

But the question is will the money actually get to those who need it, or will it go to fund Hamas and Hizbolla Jihadist fighters?

While Saddam starved to death children, he spent billions of dollars on palaces that included gold faucets. And instead of using plumbing equipment to purify water, he made lakes and waterfalls for himself.

1996:
"It is estimated that 500,000 Iraqi children have died because of the non-compliance of the Iraqi Government with [United Nations] Security Council resolutions 706 (1991), 712 (1991) and 986 (1995) since the end of the Gulf War. "

(UN website)

4 months before the opening attack on Saddam (November 2002)
"Despite improvements there are still close to one million children under the age of five suffering from chronic malnutrition in Iraq today - that's nearly a quarter of all children of that age," said Mr. Carel de Rooy, the head of UNICEF in Iraq. "This is unacceptable. More still needs to be done to end the suffering of a generation of children."
