Is it just me who is wondering just what the hell is going on these days??
When I listen to todays US politics, I am now no longer paying any attention to who is saying what. I am only listening to what exactly is being said. I’ve been doing this for about the past 5 years now, and it surprises me how the public will change their opinion based on who says what is good and what isn’t. If during the last administration, something viewed as a good thing is now suddenly viewed as bad – not because anything has changed – but only because of what someone like Rush thinks (which is based on only what his sponsors – like the RNC – want to hear)…
I read with interest an article on the BBC NEWS regarding how some believe that Bin Laden was killed at Tora Bora back in the early days of the conflict after 9/11…
I suddenly remembered a very animated “W” on 60minutes when asked the same question a few years back coming back with: “how do you know he’s still alive, how do you know we haven’t killed him yet?” This bring’s to point a similar issue regarding Saddam Hussein – like, I really believe he was caught the way they portrayed it…
So wo do we believe, who do we listen to??

When it comes to current events, I choose the BBC News (on line) and China Radio International (via shortwave). SRN News in the US is probably the only non-sensational-istic program left. Bloomberg Radio is excellent, WABC and FOX are both biased to the right, then there is WBAI all the way to the left. I don’t know where this leaves CBS or NBC…
I remember quite some time ago when I was still active in the E.E.H. Vol. Fire Dept over in Derby talking with Pat about these ‘speeches and interviews’ where as long as noting out ofthe ordinary is being said, how could these be viewed as messages to carry out an attack…
Like, what if in the middle of a speech “Puppsy The Clown” is said out loud without any warning – could that trigger a new jihad??

Rush came back on the air. I’m not sure I believe his hospital story - I personally believe that he was being ‘re-programmed’ because his message lately (before he was sick) was really hitting on some good points (which could be linked back to the good old boys club) and I even felt that he was speaking the truth like he used to 20 years ago. Then, without any warning – once he came back on the air this past Wednesday – it was back to that RNC right wing neo-con crap. Yeah Rush, we should all be without insurance just like you – except we ain’t rich fat pigs like you are. But if there was no insurance, then what about the fat cats who’ve been running these company’s – what would happen to them??
I made a comment recently that the best way to end terrorism on jet planes is that anyone with anything more than a traffic violation is put on the do not fly list. End of story. I was then told that this would cause the entire industry to collapse. Really?? There are so many bad people out there?? Perhaps we need to become more like China where we have an assembly line judicial process – in one door – and shot dead out the other – all within a few minutes…
Now there’s all this talk about the big republican win in 2010. Nobody wants to see this more than me – because I want to see what they are going to do. Nothing. That’s right, not a damn thing will change – except Rush will suddenly say that everything’s being done for the right reasons. Is it any coincidence that most of the current presidents policies won’t come to be until after he is out and Sarah is in??
I’ll tell you this: the only way a politician is getting my vote is if he pays me. No more of this giving money to support my politician of choice – they are going to have to pay me. And when I mean pay, I mean pay.
Color 8×10 glossy images of a barefoot Sarah won’t be enough for her to win my vote – I want bills!!
But in all seriousness – I’m really believing in a One World Order. And it does not need to be complicated either. But this would put an end to exploitation, something this nation is very good at supporting through it’s trade practices…
Cheap is good, or is it??

Sometimes I think we’ve got it all wrong and places like India and China and Russia got it right.
How much is enough??
How much do we really need??
If you start studying Jainism, you really see that those who follow it are truly in the path of enlightenment.

My mother is correct in stating that what this country really needs is 5 years of starvation.
Think about it, we’ve become too fat and greedy – we want it all but don’t want to pay for it (and I’m guilty of this too).
So how do we bring about change??
Well, be careful with what you wish for – because it just may come true. But remember that what goes around comes around.
Think about it.
