W to attack yet another country?

It seems that the decider-in-chief, George W. Bush, is preparing the way for an attack on yet another country that does not have the capability or desire to attack the United States. Interesting article that states that Congress approved money for covert operations in Iran. All according to the Constitution, right?

Government fails child

Here's yet another example of why the government should not be in the protection of children business. This article from yahoo.com describes the horrible life this little boy led, and how different, inefficient arms of the government failed to protect him.

The private sector works more efficiently because it has an incentive: the profit motive. Let's get the low-paid inefficient bureaucrats who don't care out of the way so we can protect our children.

What'll it be, soldier, Zoloft or Prozac?

War is not good for anyone, especially the young men and women who are actively engaged in fighting it. Not only are U.S. armed forces personnel committing suicide at an alarming rate, they are, as reported on cnn.com here, also taking antidepressants at an increasing rate.

Over 4,000 U.S. troops dead, $12 billion a month bill for Iraq and Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women, and children dead, increased animosity toward the American empire, over 30 thousand permanently injured U.S. troops - need I go on?

The purpose of this unconstitutional war was what?

They're not careful because it's not their money

Entrepreneurs have balance sheets, profit and loss statements, etc. to keep an eye on their money. But government agencies have budgets. They spend more than they have, and they don't keep an eye on the money. Why? It's not their money, so they don't care how it's spent.

As you can read in this article, here's yet another example of how the government spends billions of our dollars but really can't account for it. Hmm, I wonder how long McDonalds would have stayed in business if they treated their accounting this way?

Make sure you get that little piece of government paper

If you don't pay homage to the state, the state's henchmen take you to jail. Here, in this cnn.com article, we see that a woman in East Hampton, New York committed the terrible crime of not getting government permission (a license) to serve drinks to her guests. What a thug! How dare she and other adults do what they want to do without the government's permission first!

She was infringing upon the life, liberty, and/or property of . . . ? That's right, no one.

The American Empire not making friends

As you can read in this article, China and Russia are forging closer ties. This is in response to the Einstein's in Washington, D.C., who continue to grow the empire. You know, I don't remember reading it in the Constitution that the U.S. should have over 700 bases around the world and should spend more money on defense than the rest of the world combined.

I'm tired of my fellow Americans dying for empire, and I'm tired of paying for it. And God help us if McCain wins the presidency in a few months. Based on what I've read, he'll make Bush look like an altar boy.

Now you don't have to rent . . .

V for Vendetta, the movie that depicts the future of England, which has become a police state with curfews, cameras, and the omnipotent state. Now, you can just move to England and soon experience it first hand, as you can read here in this article.

Well, you might want to rent it anyway, since Natalie Portman has one of the most perfect faces on the planet. Poor Brits, about the only place they'll be safe and unwatched is the soccer stadium.
