Quote :

"This calls to mind Congress setting up a system where Native Americans can bring claims against the government. A sound approach might be a law that set up a system where those who are victims of the 'war against terror' or so forth can have such a means of bringing claims and (when warranted) getting redress."

How's that working out renegade ? Did they get their land (the whole country) back yet ???

The American Sheep .....

Will never take to the streets ...... "bah, bah, please don't shear us and take our wool" (fuck us in the ass with the big red, white and blue rubber dick) ....

They have been in denial/escape mental mode for so long it is a way of life for them ....

Besides it would interrupt their tv schedules, their cell phone calls and their twittering.

Single Payer Non-Profit Administration ....

On another note, Karl Rove is a cockroach that should be exterminated.

@-- dianeremarx RE : Selling Out

Clinton gave us NAFTA and the deregulation of banking that brought the present crisis.

We know what Bush brought us.

Both administrations opened the doors to illegal immigration because the big business owners wanted cheap labor ...... and actually intervened to prevent states from enforcing laws already on the books.

The other day, Clinton had the unmitigated gall to say that America was changing ...... yeh, thanks to you Clinton, you lying used car salesman.

16 years was all it took to bring us to this point ..... both Clinton and Bush and the Congresses that supported them are guilty of treason and should be hung ....... I suggest building the gallows on PA avenue.

Right On the Money

The Germans knew about the "Work" and Death camps ...... but they were not allowed to be mentioned by the German govt and people went out of their way to avoid them physically.

Upon the "liberation" of one camp (forgot which one), Eisenhower forced the inhabitants of the local town (who professed not to know what had been going on in the camp) to enter the camp ......... to view the rail cars and sheds full of dead bodies ........ the bodies laying in mass uncovered graves ...... he made them experience the sights and stench of what they had denied in their own selfish fear ...... and then he made them participate in burying the bodies ......

So, we have become like the German and Polish people of WWII ......... we have become like the Nazis .....

We lost WWII ....... not physically but morally when we adopted many of their secret organizations and spying apparatii after the War ..... and we didn't hesitate to give former Nazis a home if we felt they could be of any use to us.

Face it, the country is asleep and morally bankrupt .... obsessed with entertainment and easily manipulated by fear like cowering sheep .....

As for MSM "journalists", I'm tired of these chickenshit chicken hawks ...... strong neither of mind nor body .....

probably afraid to venture out of their houses after 9 PM ......... cowardly weasels all ...... no one has the intestinal fortitude to be unpopular ..... a real man can "no" to the whole world.

Original article: A sad defense of marriage

Its Worse Than That .....

Vows are not taken seriously anymore ...... "for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

When I was 6, my grandfather, who was a tenant farmer, had a debilitating stroke ...... able only to move his right arm and whisper few words at the time.

There was no welfare then and "County Homes" were horrible environments.

He lived for 12 years before pneumonia overcame him ........ with constant care from his wife and the help of his six daughters (including my mother on weekends).

I work in healthcare. Over the last several years I have seen numerous people (male and female) walk out on their spouses when they were diagnosed with cancer or had serious strokes.

Just when these unfortunate people needed their spouses the most, their spouses "threw them away" like so much garbage.

In the past two years, I have knowledge of three couples, where one of the partners, due to serious depression, became unable to work and almost totally withdrawn.

All three couples had spouses who deserted their "loved one".

In many marriages today, if things are not going the way one partner wants ....... if they're not getting what they thing they should have out of life, they simple abandon the marriage.

As such, these marriages are more like "business arrangements" or corporations than they are committments to another human being ...... cut your losses and move on.

As far as partners putting up with infidelity, I would be willing to wager this is only true where staying together maintains a certain economic status or lifestyle ..... where a dissolution of the marriage would result in material loss.

Now this is really pathetic.

A So-Called Grownup .....

Asking someone else how to set guidelines for their own son under their own roof .... ?

You are pathetic .....

Original article: Plundering the oceans

Human Behavior Fits .....

the description of a cancer cell .....while normal cells cooperate with and have a symbiotic relationship with other cells in the body for the common good of survival and flourishing, a cancer cell is totally "selfish" and eventually destroys the body upon which it is dependent and thus itself.

In that sense humans are cancer cells upon the body of the thin layer of life than composing the outermost shell of the earth.

Life any irrational life form, it will destroy itself and perish.

Its just too bad that other species must pay the price of the behavior of the homo sapien monkey.
