Ask a liberal. They'll tell you that if a company is successful they
must be corrupt and ripping off somebody. Not necessarily my opinion.

That's the problem with trying to help people who are governed by
mercenaries & dictators. You can send all the money, food, drugs, personnel,
clean water, etc. you want, if the political leaders don't want it to make
it to the people, it won't.
So what do you do in that situation? You do what the US did in Iraq, &
remove the ruthless leader. BUT......... Will it be easy? Will it be
painless? Will it be popular amongst your population? Will it be cheap? Will
the rest of the nations on the planet understand or appreciate it?
I don't much care for the war or Bush for that matter, but after talking
with numerous US soldiers about how it is over there, what they are doing,
why they are doing it, and the effect it is bringing about, it is hard to
think that in the end (if things go as planned) that it won't be worth it.
Complicated issues never have easy solutions, and unfortunately sometimes,
some have no solutions.

Re: What I think
I don't belone to this group but I like reading the post. Till every
child and famiely in this country have a job and home, we should not be
giving money or food to any country how many times have you seen were it
never gets to the people that needs it. We been giving to the same
people for years and what do they do to help them self's. Must be
nothing because we are still giving. Yes we have people in this country
all ways looking for a hand out or don't want to work. But I would give
them the money any day over sending our money to other country's. Our
country not doing so great right now paying over $4.00 a gal. for gas,
food prices going up every week you go shopping. Thing are going to get
worse because of the bad weather we having all over the country. A war
that is coasting us millions, pluse the lost of life. A government that
cann't work together. I think we the USA should get our own house in

Gasoline and diesel should not cost any more than $ 1.50 per gallon if this
country had any guts. But somehow this country has become a bunch of over
educated wimp pussies that will not do anything about anything.
So our over educated wimp pussies want to spend a trillion dollars of money
that we do not have to see if there is evidence of water having ever existed
on some planet.
The only reason that this shit goes on is because the is only one Boeing or
one General Dyanics or one General Electric that can be contracted to
receive the hundred of billions.
Maybe this is just how it works. Maybe the rich kids from the rich families
go to the prep high schools and ivy league colleges and run the country and
suck up the billions.
Somebody has to run the country, right?
No point in it being a black or a rican or a mexican even though they did
just as much to form this country as anyone else.
I am not asking for change. Change costs money and I am not asking for
anybody to spend a cent of money.
All that I would ask for is that everything that is done on our behalf be
visible. Up to and including the NSA.
How much did it cost? Who got paid on what date? What did we get for that
sum?
Just the opposite of the tinfoil hat Area 51 alien spaceship conspiracy
nutheads.
How about some open exchange for once?
Do you think that the NSA is some secret form of government where they pluck
the eyeballs out of babies and say that it is all for our own good?
Bullshit.
Everything that gets done on our behalf on our coin and on our belief system
should be evident.
We should not even have an NSA. The visible part of our government should
do that work. If they want to make believe drown Islaam guys they should do
that right in front of God and everybody.
Drown them Islaam guys. Or put a cattle prod to their naughty bits. Just
do not hide your face and be ashamed of it.
I ain't no scholar or nothing like that but I do not wish for my government
to do things that they are ashamed of. If they want to water torture them
guys go right on. Just do not try to hide it or deny it.
The hiding it and denying it and trying to get Congress to redefine it is
much, much worse than just dunking the guy.
Dunk the guy as ask him once again where he is? He gotta be somewhere.
Somebody knows.
But is that what we are?
Is that even what we think we are?
Do we want to dunk guys in water every day?
Maybe I am totally wrong about all of this but I do not think that Thomas
Jefferson and George Washington founded this country so that we could
torture guys.
We have the best Army and the best Navy and the best Marines and the best
Air Force and the best Coast Guard in the whole world.
If we choose to fight somebody just fight them.
Once they are done getting killed they will surrender. That is how fighting
works.

Not quite free. I figure about forty cents for the rig and forty cents for
the transport and forty cents for the refinining and delivery to the local
store and thirty cents in pure profit for the people who get the job done.
I do not think the government that sits on top of it should get paid a cent.
They did not raise the dinosaurs and it is just a quirk of geography what
government lights there.
Now if Germany wants to make nice cars and sell them for fifty thousand
dollars or Italy wants to make real fast sporty cars and sell them for one
hundred thousand dollars and Sweden wants to make good vodka and sell it for
twenty dollars and Scotland wants to make good whiskey as sell it for thirty
dollars and France wants to make fashionable clothes and sell them for one
hundred dollars that is all okay because they all made it.

Not sure how many decayed dinos are in those pools .......... but those fish
and plants weren't reared by any governments either - so I'll give you that
one. The problem is that big_money_oil isn't about to be put in check any
time soon - because they line government pockets with billions of coffers
annually.

But unlike energy - there is a (consumer) choice to buy or not to buy those
things. Energy (next to air and water) is pretty high on the staples list -
so (pardon the pun) they (big_oil and govermnet) kind of have us all over
the barrel, so as to speak.

$1.50 a gallon, huh?
How about we roll everyone's wages back to that level, too?
You forget that out of that $4.00 per gallon that all the worker's involved
in producing and delivering that product to you earn wages. Unemployment in
this country is at around 5.4%. People in this country have got the notion
through the politicians that only wages should go up, and that commodity
prices should stay the same forever. That's not the way business works.
