Marie Ever read The Old Testament? Mankind's nature is not "peaceful, positive, and compassionate" unfortunately.
Rhys I agree. Nothing to improve our government will be done until it collapses. Politicians self interest rules! There were a few good officers, very few. The NCO's ran the Airforce when I was in.
Tom and Mark Read my post a little closer, I cast my self as a scoundrel with you two when I told Megan she saw thru me. Rhett Butler was the most famous scoundrel I can remember and he did ok. From all that I have read on these posts, we three agree 95% of the time. I just think Big Oil really needs to have their feet held to the fire when they pull these BIG TIME FIASCOS. Will never happen though. They along with the rest of corporate America already own Congress and the President. Rhys says the Federal Reserve pulls all the strings so maybe the Fed controls Corporate America? Wonder if Megan will come out and play anymore? Maybe Megan and Steve Lewis went to Nigeria to save the Sand Hill Cranes.
Scott Wedel Why did you use the term Christian in your post to Tom? Are you bigoted against Christians? Why did you not use the term Muslim? Would that be politically incorrect? It is OK to bad mouth Christians in your world but not Muslims?
How about a Constitutional amendment that Congressmen or President have to be veterans? My choice would be enlisted only, no officers. If you allowed officers, you would be getting the same self indulged politicians you are getting now. I was in the Air Force from 1968 to 1970, enlisted not officer.
If we ever do get another grocery on the westside, it will have to be a major chain that will draw east siders too. I live on the west side and bought some at Clarks but they just could not compete with City and Safeway. David only beats Goliath in the Bible, not in the retail grocery world.
Mark I grew up in Houston, worked for Humble oil and Refining in my early years. I know what oil smells like. There is still oil on the beaches under the rocks in Alaska. Exxon should have been fined 20 billion way back then. Go to the Gulf Coast and talk to the people there and see if they feel BP treated them fairly. How much has BP paid in fines so far? They should be fined 100 billion. Corporations will never bear the weight of their follies. It is much cheaper to buy off congressmen and even presidents if necessary.
Megan I got thrown in with those two scoundrels for my little remark? Boy, you paint with a broad brush, but you saw thru me. Read the book of Revelation and you will see what is coming when your "oneworld" arrives. Are you a public school teacher, college professor or environmental lawyer?

Scott Wedel You replied to one question. What about the other 4? The one I would really like a response to is "Are you bigoted against Christians?"
Mark Amen!

Russ I voted for you. Never vote for the incumbent for anything. Need to keep new blood coming in all the time no matter what the office is!

Exxon was never held responsible in Alaska and BP was never held responsible in the Gulf of Mexico so good luck with Nigeria.
