well i think the world needs to do something. because you got dads and moms and husbans and kids going over there and dieing to keep us in freedom and to keep us alive when there a kids out here everyday, being beatin and raped and a whole lot of other things. everyday there is a little girl or a little boy who kills him/her self because she cant take the pain in her mind and in her heart when shes listening to her mom and her brothers and sisters get hit and scream in pain. and you know what… someday america is going to see this and people are going to start helping and when people stop saying things like oh i feel so bad for you and oh i wish i could do something… people never want to hear things like that. they want you, they need you to help. i have a best friend who was been in that bad kind of situation. her mom used to drug her and bring guys home that would rape her,her sister and hit her 3 brothers. in fact… her sister killed herself. her brother died. and she hasnt seen her other two brothers in 5 years. she dosnt even know if there still alive… now you tell me. if you had a friend that had over 100 scars on her body, not only from herself trying to kill herself but from people. and she can remember so many bad things even when she was 3. 3,4,5, all the way up to 10 years old…. then her prinsipal figyored out what was happing and she and her sibblings were split apart and taken away. its not like they all would go to a diffrent family member… because they were the same way… and all thoughs guys went to jail but her mom didnt. and even though she is 16 now she still cant get over it. her mind,body,and sole have been scared for life. she will never forget all these bad things. and thats not even the worst case. the worst is there are still more children out there that are even worse than her. so what im saying is while there are people going to Irac and dieing over there fighting for our right to freedom and so we can actually stay alive. there are people over here, kids,teens,adults over here dieing because of all the bad in the world. so the next time you go to the mall with your mom to look for that new outfit to go with thoughs new shoes, and complain when you leave with out that right outfit. why dont you think of the people out there who cant go into a mall and get cloths or cant even step out there house in fear that theres another guy out there just waiting to try to kill him/her. because hey… they cant go to the mall and go omg i love this shurt… mom i have to have it!!! pictcer you saying that to your mom right now and your mom replys sorry girl we cant go to the mall because i spent all our monie on beer drugs and other things. plus i have to put something in your stomice. you dam kids eat to much. the other day i put a toy in a bag to go to good will. that toy belonged to my sister but she never played with it. it was dusty and everything. she saw it in the good will bag and took it out and said well this is mine and i dont have to give it away if i dont want to and bla bla bla… and i just shuk my head and said. hayley there is a little girl your age out there that insted of getting this shes getting slaped.and througn up against the wall for no reson what so ever. she said… i dont care im not that little girl she dosnt have to have my toy… and it just amazed me… i was a little girl and i was all about my mom. we had the funist time and everything… then she got married to a guy and something bad happined. so they broke up. im the only one that was there for her when she was scared or crying or fealing so sad. she promised me that if she ever found another man than she would bring him home first just to make sure i felt comforitable with him. time went around and we were the best of friends. i went everywere with her. i gave her my life to hold. i gave her my heart and everything. then one day she said one of my friends have to sleep over for a while so he can find a house. well he came over for about a week and a half. he would come have dinner with us and play diffrent games. well one day i was playing in the hall and mom came up to me and picked me up and set me on my bed. she said. im getting married! your going to have a step dad! she broke her promis. she never told me they were going out. she just said they were friends. well i was little and that was ok with me because OMG yay!!! i get to walk down the isle in a pritty dress!!! well i did it and then everything went wrong. my grades were always A, B’s i got a d on something… big deal. right? then i started to lose friends starting with my best friend. well ya i was upset about that. then i was told.

Don’t believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy or humanity in general. They are all part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. In America, the richest 1% now hold 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. Unlike ‘lesser’ estimates, this includes all stocks, bonds, cash, and material assets held by America’s richest 1%. Even that filthy pig Oprah acknowledged that it was at about 50% in 2006. Naturally, she put her own ‘humanitarian’ spin on it. Calling attention to her own ‘good will’. WHAT A DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE SLOB. THE RICHEST 1% HAVE LITERALLY MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. Don’t fall for all of their ‘humanitarian’ CRAP. ITS A SHAM. THESE PEOPLE ARE CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT. Ask any professor of economics. Money does not grow on trees. The government can’t just print up more on a whim. At any given time, there is a relative limit to the wealth within ANY economy of ANY size. So when too much wealth accumulates at the top, the middle class slip further into debt and the lower class further into poverty. A similar rule applies worldwide. The world’s richest 1% now own over 40% of ALL WORLD WEALTH. This is EVEN AFTER you account for all of this ‘good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS from celebrities and executives. ITS A SHAM. As they get richer and richer, less wealth is left circulating beneath them. This is the single greatest underlying cause for the current US recession. The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy. Their wealth has been gradually transfered to the richest 1%. One way or another, we suffer because of their incredible greed. We are talking about TRILLIONS of dollars. Transfered FROM US TO THEM. Over a period of about 27 years. Thats Reaganomics for you. The wealth does not ‘trickle down’ as we were told it would. It just accumulates at the top. Shrinking the middle class and expanding the lower class. Causing a domino effect of socio-economic problems. But the rich will never stop. They will never settle for a reasonable share of ANYTHING. They will do whatever it takes to get even richer. Leaving even less of the pie for the other 99% of us to share. At the same time, they throw back a few tax deductable crumbs and call themselves ‘humanitarians’. IT CAN’T WORK THIS WAY. This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly. The current US recession will drag on for years and lead into the worst US depression of all time. The richest 1% will live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs, food, and gasoline. Crime, poverty, and suicide will skyrocket. So don’t fall for all of this PR CRAP from Hollywood, Pro Sports, and Wall Street PIGS. ITS A SHAM. Remember: They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions. Greedy pigs. Now, we are headed for the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. SEND A “THANK YOU” NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE. ITS THEIR FAULT. I’m not discounting other factors like China, sub-prime, or gas prices. But all of those factors combined still pale in comparison to that HUGE transfer of wealth to the rich. Anyway, those other factors are all related and further aggrivated because of GREED. If it weren’t for the OBSCENE distribution of wealth within our country, there never would have been such a market for sub-prime to begin with. Which by the way, was another trick whipped up by greedy bankers and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. The credit industry has been ENDORSED by people like Oprah, Ellen, Dr Phil, and many other celebrities. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘good will’ BS. ITS A LIE. If you fall for it, then you’re a fool. If you see any real difference between the moral character of a celebrity, politician, attorney, or executive, then you’re a fool. WAKE UP PEOPLE. The 1% club will always say or do whatever it takes to get as rich as possible. Without the slightest regard for anything or anyone but themselves. Vioxx. Their idea. Sub-prime. Their idea. NAFTA. Their idea. Outsourcing. Their idea. The commercial lobbyist. Their idea. The multi-million dollar lawsuit. Their idea. $200 cell phone bills. Their idea. $200 basketball shoes. Their idea. $30 late fees. Their idea. $30 NSF fees. Their idea. $20 DVDs. Their idea. Subliminal advertising. Their idea. The MASSIVE campaign to turn every American into a brainwashed credit card, pharmaceutical, love-sick, celebrity junkie. Their idea. All of which concentrate the world’s wealth and resources and wreak havok on society. All of which have been CREATED AND ENDORSED by celebrities, athletes, and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘ good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS. ITS A SHAM. NOTHING BUT TAX DEDUCTABLE PR CRAP. Bottom line: The richest 1% will soon tank the largest economy in the world. It will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. and thats just the beginning. Greed will eventually tank every major economy in the world. Causing millions to suffer and die. Oprah, Angelina, Brad, Bono, and Bill are not part of the solution. They are part of the problem. EXTREME WEALTH HAS MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WITHOUT WORLD PROSPERITY, THERE WILL NEVER BE WORLD PEACE OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Of course, the rich will throw a fit and call me a madman. Of course, their ignorant fans will do the same. You have to expect that. But I speak the truth. If you don’t believe me, then copy this entry and run it by any professor of economics or socio-economics. Then tell a friend. Call the local radio station. Re-post this entry or put it in your own words. Be one of the first to predict the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time and explain its cause. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.

Turning the tables - the next "Yes We Can" YouTube video will feature Obama speaking while Iraqi musicians sing/speak:

* Yes. We. Can. have democracy now that the US Military has overthrown the Stalinist Saddam
* Yes. We. Can. decide our own way now that the US Military has defeated the Baathists and Al Qaeda in Iraq
* Yes. We. Can. have peace after twenty years of war now that the US Military has brought stability to Iraq
* Yes. We. Can ... be free as the American Slaves were freed by Lincoln

Premature withdrawal from Iraq would do to the Middle East what the withdrawal of the Union Army did to the South, leading to a hundred years of oppression.

I don't think we'll have to have many more Ron Paul discussions. While under Texas law he can seek both the presidential nomination and reelection to his congressional seat, it would be very difficult to do both, especially since he has a GOP opponent for the March 4 primary who himself is an elected official though an admittedly minor one. (City council in Friendswood Texas, a Houston suburb. By March 4, the GOP race will be over.

I agree that Obama is inspiring and charismatic and that he is probably the most electable of all the candidates in any party. But this video does nothing for me except make me think of all those deluded people singing "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and "We are the world" or whatever their Utopian messages were. It's sad to think that so many youngsters out there believe that their musical heroes can change the world for the better. It's sad to think that all Obama really has to offer is the mantra of change and ephemera of hope. People have been hoping for justice and peace and freedom and full bellies for millennia, but in vain. Singing a song just ain't gonna do the trick.

It's not that I don't want change and inspiration in the White House. It's just that Camelot was a myth in the 15th century and in the 20th century, and the Camelot that Obama promises beginning in 2009 is just another myth. Obama is only one man. He won't be able to change anything of substance. The government is bigger than he is, and unless he has the cooperation of all the people who actually make the government work every day, he'll be only a talking head like the Wizard of Oz. If the people who work for him help him run the country, he won't be able to change anything: bureaucracies and bureaucrats don't like change.

If I were going to vote, I'd vote for him, but I don't see the point, I'm sorry to say. That's why I left the USA twenty-five years ago and have no intention of returning. I saw George W. Bush coming when America's foolish masses elected Ronald Reagan the first time. I'd say that people get the leaders they deserve, and if you don't watch out, you're very likely to get both McCain and Huckabee. And you'd deserve 'em too.

I can't help thinking that a Ron Paul America would be a cold and lonely place, a Fortress America.

That said, Ron Paul makes many, many good points, I just don't think you can achieve what he wants the WAY he wants it. You can oppose force with force, creating more chaos, or can transmute it, as you are mindful of its quality and rhythm. In due time. In due way.

Ron Paul wants to eliminate dual citizenship. That would destroy the lives of 45 million Americans and countless more that want or should become Americans because they have lived here so long. I'm one of them, I've been eagerly waiting for my beloved adoptive country to change so I can actually mean what I will be made to swear if I naturalize.

If I can't have dual citizenship, I can never become an American. It wouldn't be real. I would lose too much, in my heart and in my pocket because I would lose the ability to work is 30 countries or so (I'm European) I'm an artist and I can't afford to do that.

It would also not reflect who I am. I want to be an American because I love my American husband, my American son, my American in-laws, my American friends.I've been here so long that I am an American in my heart wether I like it or not.

But why should I renounce to the other half of me? Or how dare anyone ask my son to renounce to his half-European side? It's the same with languages, I speak five, why would anyone want to make me speak only one. The human heart is huge, I'm perfectly capable of loving two countries with all of it,; well, three, because my mother is French and I always have loved France too. I love three countries, and if you force me to chose one legally, I will still love three countries and you will make me completely unhappy, for what, so you can feel safe? Hear me, you will never feel safe like this. Only loving more you can feel safe, not less. And there's so much we are all missing out on. Go find a cave, if you want. I want to move forward into the twenty first century. We have now the capacity for love and peace. Let's use it.

Meros
"I know a lot of internet people are keen on Ron Paul, but honestly I'm not sure the rest of the world is looking for America to turn even more insular and isolated."

Ron Paul is not an isolationist. He is a non-interventionist. His America would trade with other nations, but not intervene into their internal affairs.

"Sure, no-one likes America invading other countries either, but withdrawing from the global community is taking things a bit far."

I wouldn't say we'd be withdrawing from the world stage. We would simply stop invading other countries, while still being a part of the world via our economy and trade.

"I don't think dismantling government is a solution to dealing with institutional rot and incompetence - at least not one without serious side effects that are going to be hard to predict."

I think it's the most effective solution. There may be serious side effects that will be hard to predict, but at least it will solve the problem of institutional rot and incompetence, as there will be no institution left to rot in incompetence. Any other sort of solution will be piecemeal at best and co-opted by existing special interests at worst.

"I can't help thinking that a Ron Paul America would be a cold and lonely place, a Fortress America."

Hardly. America would still be open for trade. We just would stop invading other countries, which you must admit, is pretty bad for business.
