Seems to me, that if you find out something like this whole pet food stuff, you would be on guard, to insure your own products don’t get contaminated. Guess these Feed Producers were too busy trying to cut corners, cut costs and to hell with the people who rely on them for clean feed.

I do like him on Law n Order, but haven’t watched it these last couple of years. Sort of gotten tired of the plot lines, and the violence. Too depressing really, though with my interests in politics you would wonder. I mean talk about depressing. Still it will be interesting to see what his platform is, how he articulates it as well. Maybe it’ll be the same old clap trap but you never know. The way he’s been slowly advancing towards announcing has been very interesting, and unconventional. I kind of like that.

Will assorted Churches determine our Civil Rights? Will a Harper Regime protect our borders or will he sell our standards down the drain, to appease USA Interests? Already the plan is in motion, with the so called Border Prosperity Plan, or North American Union plan. This is what Stephen Harper wants, and if it is what Canadians want, fine, but let us decide based on the issues, not on whether the Conservatives believe that Dion is weak or not. Let them show us what their solutions are, let them tell us what they have done, will do, and let the others do that as well.

Alabama’s placement of Gay groups and Anti War groups only highlights the problem. America is indeed afraid, but not of Osama, but of themselves. If they truly believed in freedom, as they claim, then laws like Patriot Act I and II wouldn’t exist, not now. In fact, there would criminal trials going on right now, of those who have violated the Civil Rights of so many. Those who held people in secret prisons would themselves be facing prison, as they should.

With over 20 million children unable to access health care and children growing more illiterate, shouldn’t money be spent on those issues, instead of lawsuits about an elective school course? And how in the hell does an elective course stomp on anyone’s religious freedom? Because it doesn’t agree?

Should Being Gay be a wedge issue? Nah, because you see it truly isn’t about being gay. It is about affirming one’s rights, as laid out in that old piece of paper, known as the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution. It says EVERYONE is entitled to equal protection under the law, that you can’t be denied rights given to one group, simply because you are from a different group.

Mitt Romney conveniently forgets that minor little detail, but then again, he isn’t exactly what one could call a Defender of Civil Rights, least not for those who have different views than him.

Given Congressmen Rangles little tid bit, I wonder if it really matters who wins the White House in ‘08? Seems already that both sides are in the pockets of Big Corporations, and ain’t much anyone can do, other than to suck it up, and go vote for a third alternative. Time to boot them both out, and take back one’s own country.

I wonder, if John Murtha was a Republican, would Speaker Polosi be so quick to defend him? Naturally the issue isn’t just that he is a bully, but that he was protecting not the interests of his constituents, but rather the pork that he was trying to get passed. So much for the pledge of ending political pork, that helped get the Democrats a majority in both the House and Senate.

Seems to me that even if this is the best compromise around, it shouldn’t be something rushed into. I don’t get it, what is the rush by Harry Reid? Always makes me nervous when someone wants to push something through, without others having the opportunity to read it through once, never mind thoroughly. So what is the rush? Is it to gain some brownie points?

Governments aren’t any better. They sit on their fat asses, saying it is a ‘marketplace’ problem, that will work out. BULLSHIT! It is fabricated, and the oil companies are in collusion to keep prices high. Ever notice how when prices go down, they never go down to where they were before, so that when they go up, the next downturn is nearly where the last increase was?

And that is my basic problem with the Senator. I don’t see her being the type who will accept responsibility for her actions, just as her husband never did. For how many months did he lie? And has he yet even apologized for it? Somehow given all that is happening out there, I don’t see her as President standing up to Iran, North Korea, or the Terrorists. I think she will run her Presidency like her husband did, by what the Public Opinion Polls reflect.

It is also the other result of all this discrimination. Sometimes, you just don’t want to have to deal with the trauma, the disturbances of people’s hates. I mean, it is distracting, so sometimes you wind up losing someone valuable, because really, you just have had enough. While Hawkins may have been fired for poor performance, it is also likely he was let go, simply to bring peace to the program, to end the daily fights and worry, about it all.

You listen to the News today, about the war on the Middle Class, the low wage scales due to illegal immigration, and you have to wonder. Why? I mean are we so consumed with greed, that discrimination becomes second nature when running a business? Sure we all want profits, large profits, but when did money replace morality and ethics?

If a soldier can’t appear before Congress, to explain why they might oppose a policy, for fear of being discharged, isn’t that in violation of the basic constitutional rights that the entire country is founded on?
