E-waste dumping
No longer will electronic waste be dumped in landfills in Illinois. As a result, Pekin has seen an increase in TVs and such being dumped along country roads despite businesses willing to take them.

What happened to NASA
Scientists to hold bake sale for NASA. After all the tax dollars we've spent on NASA they've finally been downsized. They are holding a Bake Sale Protest. Not much progress over many years equals public disinterest. You would think that they could have became self sustaining by now, but relying on gov't funds your whole life makes you complacent. And then it killed you.
NASA is dying
Private Sector to take over. With all the over-budgeting, it is time to put NASA to rest. Thanks for all you have done, but the rich private-sector is more able and not a bureaucracy.

Illinois Taxing

Blago
His lawyers are asking for him to be put in drug program. Never has it been mentioned that he had a drug problem. Methinks he is still trying to abuse the system.

The government in Illinois raised business taxes. Now they are figuring out how to keep the big businesses in the state. Ofcourse they are giving tax breaks to the big businesses that don't need breaks, and the small businesses that are struggling keep struggling while watching the big dogs get their breaks...

East Peoria
I don't get why taxpayers pay tax$ to businesses just to pay later and pay them again to get thier products..
why would you choose to pay $ to a business to choose your town and then pay a tax to buy their products? You are dumber than dumb East Peoria.

American Secrecy At War

America experiments on its people much like the Nazi's
America does malicious secret experiments around the globe. It also does them on its own citizens. They have no moral high-ground. It in no way should be exempt from International Law. We should be in International Court many times over. When tyrants are overthrown and face Internaional Trials, they are right, America does this same stuff too.

Foreigners grumble about how America sticks it's dirty nose into other country's business. and they are right. We should have listened to George Washington's Farewell Speech

Terrorists
If they were not already terrorists, they are now. Islamist terrorists are borne in the Iraq war. The foreigners came to Iraq when we invaded and were drawn there when we invaded. They are likely to leave and breed more. They will go back to their country and incite the youngers of their country. If they were not radical before, they will be just like their older brethren.

Perpetual Campaigning

Romney v Obama
Romney insists that Obama should've been a governor before having been President. Good news is that the People elect the President. Not some clueless jackass .
We the people not we the few


Insist to differ
This is the only part of Campaigning that I enjoy now that the candidates don't care to talk about the real issues. Mark Halperin of TIME says that the Political Gaffe shouldn't be talked about.with these gaffe examples i would guarantee the American people want to know about it

Enough Already
Campaign season is way to long. Especially for incumbants. Do your job and we will vote for you if you did a good job. Take a little time to tell us what you will do in the future and get back to work. The campaign seems to hinge more on how much money the candidate has raised and less upon the substance of issues. In turn it seems that the candidate with the most money raised wins. Hmmm, fishy.

Electoral College
Every vote that the public makes should count and whoever wins a state should not get all of the state's votes. I've read that if we eliminate the E.C. that candidates would only campaign in big cities. Well, we have TV and internet now. And if candidates don't want the rural vote then that is up to them.

A Candidate or Politician Should
-Write his own speeches.
-explain why he is there and what he will do there
-Stop holding fake town hall meetings packed with their own supporters with their own questions.
-a voter makes a poor choice if he is put off by a Gore sigh or a Dean Hooooyah! Somehow I think the media is wrong about this. I dont think we are that stupid.
-fuck the pollsters, and the studies, and the demographics. Just go everywhere and give us your ideas and give your speech and answer your questions.
-stand on the issues and good policy, stop worrying about whether everything you do will you re-elected. If you are doing what's right then you should get the votes. 

Pollster-Consultant Industrial Complex


Super PACs
You really can't do anything about Super PACs. It's a freedom we Americans enjoy. We could ignore them though.

I am agnostic

I believe in God, but don't claim to know what he is. I believe, but leave open the idea that I am wrong, that we are all a part of God. A fork, a tree, even I am a part of God. Something has made this Earth stay in orbit and it has sustenance for the animals on it to survive. The universe is awesome and I believe God is the reason somehow. I believe God has provided and we are here to use it or lose it. It is up to us, free will. I don't see a point in God shaping everything that we do. I don't see a point in praying to him or asking for favors. I don't believe in the miracles in the Bible. I don't believe that he inspired the words of the Bible. He is unknowable. I don't believe in Heaven and I think Hell is a ridiculous idea. I believe that Earth and the Universe and everything in it is what he has provided for us.
Through science we are fusing the elements (of God) together to create the discovering more about God.
There is a conundrum of humanity betwixt wanting to teach everyone to be strong and smart with wanting to be the strongest and smartest. This is the difference between good and bad leaders. Do they want things to be easier for all of humanity or do they want to weed out the weak.

Quote by Louise Erdich: "They were so strong in their beliefs that there came a time when it hardly mattered what exactly those beliefs were; they all fused into a single stubbornness."

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. -Albert Einstein

Epicurus-Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Bureaucracy Science

   Take global warming as an example of why we shouldn't put so much faith into gov't. Whether you believe it to be a human calamity or not. If we just put trust into science to explore the truth. Say we funded science and they said, "Well, we can't officially conclude that the phenomenon is human oriented but it is an official trend". We could hear it from science and not have non-scientists clouding our judgement, trying to sway a vote. It would be cheaper and saner to just fund science and keep the bureaucracy out of it. Then we could forget the arguement of whodunnit and correct the problem. Maybe all we can do is acclimate to the weather. Maybe people need to migrate. The finger pointing doesn't help anything. One of the reasons gov't has gotten so big is because noone wants the finger pointed at them. Then commitees get set up and organizations erected and czars appointed. Soon nobody knows that noone is doing a damn thing about the problem but are still getting paid.

Hurricane Katrina is another reason we shouldn't put to much faith in our gov't to get things done. A dumb public also exacerbated this problem. Technology showed us that a devestating storm was most likely to hit. People that worked at the levy said that it wouldn't hold back a big hurricane. Bush was informed of this. He did nothing. The evacuation was inept. The people's effort was lethargic. The lethargic people relied on an inept gov't to save them. As per usual, God didn't tell some people to get out so ofcourse they didn't.

Researchers working with National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy have calculated that in 2004 alone, teen pregnancies cost US taxpayers more than $9 billion in health care, foster care, public assistance, and lost tax revenue. I shouldn't have to pay for other's "unplanned" pregnancies. It is simple - having sex can make a baby. This should be a harsh lesson.
I, myself am sick of having to pay for other people to not have a baby.

Drug testing medicaid recipients. Drug test politicians and judges too. God solved the problem by growing "illegal drugs".

Compound
The proximity of Osama's compound to the capitol of  Pakistan leads me to believe that Pakastani government is bamboozeling us and taking our money to fight enemies that have nothing to do with us.

And it is next to a military school. I've been to a military school here in the U.S., nothing gets by them.

maybe the economy is being drained by years long presidential races.
maybe it is the money raised by local races.
I guess the money is more important than the substantial issues needed to be talked about.
that is probably because no benign message is being said, just money being raised.

With the way the economy is and the Fat Cats in charge of sports franchises spending is OUtrageous. Lockouts are no surprise to me.

Debt Ceiling?

Inflation has a direct correalation to our Gov't's defecit. The price of everything always goes up. Now, perpetual inflation meets limited resources.

http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/p-slammed-u-downgrade-174205361.html


what the hell is that? if there was one it wouldn't change. That is the meaning of the word ceiling.  Why make a "ceiling" if you are going to raise it 73 times? What this tells us is that the U.S. Gov't is not living within it's means and is pissing away our tax dollars.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-scolds-congress-over-debt-limit-negotiations-182422867.html

I insist there is no such thing as a debt limit, (ceiling). Do we know what these words mean? They mean that you cannot go any higher than the set limit! The point of one is to keep our government from spending all our tax revenue. If we just raise the limit whenever our government spends too much money, then why don't we call it "Tax your dumbass' to heaven"? The government is robbing us and we are too stupid to even hold them to their word.

On another note, the Republicans are crying foul over what they used to do, again.

2 much government

These girl's parent's were cited for not getting a license to sell lemonade and shit. Patrons were happy they were there. The kids come from very affluent parents. they were were were raising money for charity. If these children had an American Dream, it became a nightmare. If they had aspirations of becoming a succesful entrepenuer, the gov't just kicked them in the nuts.

seriously? You can't do this anymore? seriously?

(Old) Government Excess
Emmanual's post was Presidential Advisor. It should have been called Vice President. More government waste. Same job.
Windfarms: Government excess.
Wall Street fucked us and didn't deserve a bailout. Car Companies did not adapt and did not deserve a bailout either. The people have been saying for years what the car co's should be doing and we were ignored. And now the people are paying for it literally.

School vouchers. Even if it isn't for religious schools... I don't want to pay for someone else's education. If so many people cannot go to college it is because there is something wrong with the educational system. If we need to pay the government to allow eligable kids to go to college then we are just helping to perpetuate the rising cost of these schools. If these colleges need so much more money to run then they need to rethink what they are doing or median salaries need to rise greatly.

Public Assistance isn't such a bad term anymore now that Everyone is getting it. Wealthy taxpayers, farm subsidies, even the biggest corporations are getting it now like the Auto Industry.

People in Arizona want a man to take this flag down because it is associated with the Tea Party and it is not an "official" flag. But Arizona law states that flags of the Armed Services are allowable. Look it up, the Gadsen's flag is an official Navy/Marine flag.
It is a symbol of the people's right to resist government intrusion. (England back then and American government now)
