bush is a criminal, plain and simple, yet he isn't the only one. the executive and legislative branches all seem to be for anything and anyone but the american people. mass conspiracy? i'm not so sure, but it's clear we've seemed to of lost our way and what the word national security and protecting the interests of our country and citizens means. we're being sold down the river all in the name of keeping prices down yet there's no acknowledgement that this is a beast that feeds upon itself.
the only answer is to reduce consumption and make the sacrifices necessary to maintain our independence by balancing our budget and reducing deficits. course that's not acceptable as consumption drives the capitalist engine in which the elite get rich and more powerful. so we sink deeper in the mud by continuing to take cheap money like some strung out junkie needing that next fix from our drug dealers aka foreign central banks.
i'm afraid it's too late for us as i see no one willing to stand up and be counted for what's right. well no one except for you elaine and a few others 
Yankee frugality used to be a virtue.
Everyone -
Go here and vote for Elaine, Culture of Life, News as the blog most deserving of wider attention.
Next year, Facti, we will support Arthur's great blog.
Which I happen to love or rather, my own furry friends enjoy. Fluff reads him regularily while sitting on my lap.
"If demagogues can turn a tiny ally such as Dubai into a villain, you can bet they'll do the same for China."
And Elaine is being very proactive on this one - why wait until he actually gets here to start screeching? No time like the present!
I used to dream of selling the Brooklyn Bridge when I lived next to it. Sorry I didn't know you back then.
We can still arrange the sale, Smith.
