Believe it or not CHABA, I agree with you on the reduction in freedoms. However, there not being taken away as much as given away. People in general don't want the responsibility that comes with real freedom. Think about the USSR when it was broke up, a lot of folks went and did things the same way because it was easier to, than to assume the responsibility of being a free person. We in America will probably end up giving away our freedoms, but it'll be from apathy. I guess Kruschev was right.
As for your great Americans, don't forget about Merle Haggard too! I read an interview with him and he said that the contrails behind passenger airliners are really chemical agents that drift down upon the population as a mind control agent. As for Lindberg, better go read a history book with a focus on the thirties. You claim that "commies" are taking over, but Lindberg didn't really think that the
controls(read reduction in freedoms) the government had put in place, were really all that bad. Yes he was an isolationist, but he also was cool with increased government control.
As a side not, I read somewhere that around 1914 the US made a substantial loan to Great Britan, to help fund their participation in WWI. As collateral, GB offered Canada. Apparently there were two sets of documents drawn up and signed by representatives from each government. Neither set made it to the respective destination it was headed for. Misfortune involving both copies of the said contract befell the curriers.
But after years of searching as small scientific organization within the US government has been able to locate both copies. One was degraded beyond readablity, the other is in good enough shape that the contract is readable. Its now being housed at a secret location, obviously its very valuable. Why, you ask? Because GB defaulted on the terms of the contract. Until the documents were found, there was no proof other than some "outlandish claims" made by mid-level government bureaucrats, who by the way met with misfortune, once again.
Until the recovery of the documents, we in the US had been held hostage by our own consumptive greed and the expansion of world economies with regard to energy. Now that we have this document in US possesion, the game will most likely be played a little differently. I like that people assume the price of oil is falling because of a weakening economy. Suits me fine, let the people think that. I know, because of my exhaustive research of history and politics, that our government presented proof of the document to Canadian officials.
Once it was determined that we had federal rights to Canada (read Canadian energy), suddenly we weren't beholden to our Muslim oil suppliers. What happens to the price? Suddenly Ms. Pelosi and congress are gung ho to change "republican" drilling policies on our coasts. Could it be that American companies were going miss out on the exploration boom. Thats a lot of people out of work and a lot of drilling rigs that companies had invested in, sitting idle. That ain't good for the balance sheet.
So here we sit, in a tenuous situation. We have the right to energy that is already tapped and piped, but the Canadian government is getting the benefit. To exercise our rights would put a damper on US exploration which our leaders keep saying is the only way to keep America safe. I don't think that T. Boone Pickins (and the like) wants us to have easy access to Canadian energy, because of his investment in "green" energy.
The wild card is Quebec, if they were to somehow gain independence from Canada, we'd lose that part of the energy equation. James Bay produces a lot of energy (up to 8 times that of the Hoover Dam project) and to let it slip away would seem foolish. However, as an independent State, we'd have to renegotiate and likely they'd say "mangent fumier".
I guess as long as the US government allows the dissimenation of 9/11 conspiracy theories we'll never get to bring this issue to light. Everyone is so concerned that Obama is a socialist and WMDs were faked and Brittiny will have a conservator for the foreseeable future, that we lose sight of the real issues that could free America. But then again we (Americans) don't apparently want that and the governement has a difficult time controlling free people (thus more laws for law abiding citizenry) .
And one last thing.
Please CHABA, for the love of God, mix in a double space and a shift key! You're from Canada (so you say) not Kindergarten. Which BTW was started by the Germans as an education program to rest the minds of kinder <kids> from their parents control. Hummmm, and here it is in America!
SAWYER - I hope you don't feel anymore dummer.
