Gasoline prices

If the price of oil by the barrel is being driven by futures trading, not supply and demand, or not by source nation pricing, then why are we discussing the need to drill for oil in Alaska and the Gulf? the price will not come down, but the environment will be in jeopardy of a large scale catastrophe. Once again we have our government engaged in propaganda to falsely scare the population into agreeing with concepts introduced solely on the merits of large corporate profits, NOT based on the well being of the peoples, or environments we hope to occupy for EVER.

The Republican Senator from Alaska has been accused of false declarations concerning gifts by oil companies to him, he is fighting the claim believing there is enough wiggle room in the laws for his defense to win and justify his "lack of knowledge" of any wrong doing. When our elected officials break the law because they believe the interpretation of the law in a court room can be manipulated enough to give a reason of doubt, enough for acquittal, when this happens our democracy becomes a feudal system. We need self governing, we need to renew the ideology that we succeed when we all succeed, fairly.

The wind

Its blowing oddly

Due in large part to religion, the United States voted in President Bush for two terms. Some of us knew he would do far more damage to our country, in fact the worlds stability than terrorists. Ironic.

2012

The Stock Market and Wall Street

The days of the stock market are over, The Market originally was created for investing in a business with the intent of making money off of the business when it performs as you hope, productively within the economy, creating jobs and financial strength. What has happened? the answer is greed and gambling took the place of production and hard work. Our counties biggest investment became investment itself, making money not from a product but from gambling, from the trading of money itself. This path to eventual failure has been taken for the past 25 years and now it can go no further, our Government has chosen to become a business itself hoping to make money off a false economy which like the national debt seems to be something the future will have to fix. The future is here, It is time to elect people who understand life is a hard earned road to prosperity, with many desires left unfulfilled. The days of getting anything one wants just because they want it, immediately, are over. In fact the pain we will endure to right this ship, will be years and years of going without. It is time again to concentrate on conservation not consumption.

Cluster Bombs

The selling of weapons by countries for profit means the cycle of endless warfare and violence will not stop. The Large economy countries such as The United States and Russia let greed stand in the way of peace. Profit by Government leads to social, political and economical injustices for all peoples who find themselves in the path of power hungry politicians.
