To put it in perspective, we let corporations and CEO's in this country "bugger the books" and the consumers and stockholders pay while these bastards get by with little more than a slap, and they get to build a 10 million dollar home in Boca Raton or Miami Beach that no one can touch due to the Homestead act and easy access to Cayman Island Banks that no one can touch where the money has been going long before any scandal broke.
We have police in the bathrooms of America, but not in the boardrooms of America, and certainly not on Wall Street, which where let's face it, our finacial futures are decided in this country.
Shit, I would rather walk through the projects than by the Dean Whitter or The Bank of America Building in NYC. At least if you get mugged in the projects, you lose what you had on you that day. Those bastards at Enron and on Wall Street will mug you of your future.
We have become a country obsessed with what people do with thier weiners while we are being raped by our own Government that claims it a victimless crime, it is only the nameless taxpayer who gets raped, after all, nothing personal.
We should vote on more things, there should be National Refernedums for things like War and Child Care and Health Care. Washington is paraliyzed by lobbists who do not represent the American voters,just their own interests.They are the grease that runs our special interest government. We should vote on major shit in this country,not leave it up to our politicians who forgot about our interests the day after election day.
Until then, all you are going to get are bathroom stories that discredit people on both parties, none of which have anything to do with a politicians ability to do his or her job.
We are led like sheep to polorize our votes and candidates on issues like abortion and prayer in school and flag burning.
Women have been having abortions for thousands of years and will continue to, legal or not legal. Less than 1 million women have abortions a year.
Anyone who is forced to pray in school is stupid. What God would what want to hear from you if you are forced to pray? Anyone can pray anytime they want, anywhere, why is it even a subject to discuss?
Who cares is someone burns a flag? They obviously don't respect the America that lets them have that free speech,and if we make it no big thing, they won't get the press for it, and they will just go away.
My America and my love for it is stonger than a cloth symbol bought at Wal Mart. You have the right to buy and burn your own flag, but if you touch mine, I will kick your ass, it is private property.
The issues above don't even affect more than 1 million people in a country that is 300 million plus and growning strong.
I don't give a damn about abortion, public prayer,bathroom sex,nor flag burning because they are not critical issues for our futrure. They have gone on for a long time and don't really affect many of us that much.
We have the lowest (negative) savings rate in the world for a developed country,we have spent Billions on a war to preserve oil and a useless Middle East presence. There will be multi millions of retirees in the next decade who will not be able to afford to eat and pay health care costs because they committed the sin of living too long. Social Security is no longer Security,it is alomost gone. It is 85 degrees in New York State in October, has been for a week or so. We have real issues.
I just wonder when and why sex, religion and oil became the piviot point in this country for all of our attention and votes.
Thats all.
