The Toxic Texan is riding again (remember Government on horseback, I'm back). This course of action on Affirmative Action just happens around the MLK Day. What's the message here, "I can do what I damn well please & rub it in your face while I'm doing it". The education system is in a meltdown, teacher's get squat & schools get the same & no one's bothering to even attampt to fix it (if there is a draft education or lack of it will play a role in it, who'll get the shaft on this one?). Drug compainies are swimming in quicksilver with all their new found freedoms, protections, greater control over their own trade (soon they'll replace the FDA). Meanwhile the poorer part of the country (the majority) can't decide weither to buy food or go to their dealers for meds. All this & a tax rebate to boot (buy war bonds with the huge savings) that offers the lion's share to the wealthy & to corporations while again the poorer part of the country pays a far greater percentage of the tax burden when the smoke clears
(see % of taxes vs % of income). The oil companies, watch their futures soar, are depleating & killing our earth (at no coast to them, we'll pay the tab, fucked thrice, once on the cost of energy & next for mopping up their mess & last for the loss of our natural resources). If you attempt to protest against any policy you can now disappear from site without so much as a peep & who would ever know where to look for you seeing that we also just took a whipping with the Patriot Act, the new Dept. of Home Land Fencing & the illegal squandering of our rights (see the changes in our Amendments). How's your insurance company treating you lately. Rates a wee bit high, coverage a wee bit low, deductables & co-pays overwhelming? Legal compensation is capped, guess who it favors? Let's discuss the draft
on 3 fronts while this lunatic (who's considered throughout the world), excepting the USA & England, as the biggest threat to world peace. That might explain the reason we're held in such high esteem or is it that we refused Canadian scientists to inspect us for weapons of mass destruction, or could it be that we just received a failing grade by world human rights organizations, or maybe it's
that we're competing with 3rd world nations for the worst infant mortality rate or that we give aid to the countries with the least money, resources & the highest rate death rate. So back to
Affirmative Action. Is AF just one piece of all this or is it the main
issue or am I just plain crazy in thinking that Bushie has our best interests at heart no matter where the knife cuts & in the end it's all for the better, better for who? Anyone want to start a thread on foreign policy, oh shit this is part of our foreign policy. Barry, who'stryingtogoundergroundtoavoidtheshadowgoverment
