What a disgrace this is to Americans.



It is torture to force feed people. I will not restate the other obvious issues.



President Obama pontificates well, but appears to have no stomach or spine to do what is morally correct and legally required.



Is this a President or a Mouse? Add a comment

Gene patenting? Ultimately a new form of Slavery?

If genes can be patented . . . owned, in other words . . .



Will not this ultimately end up with the owners having a legal claim to anything containing

those genes?



Including, ultimately, Humans?

Abolish Section 5?

I am continually amused by those types that want things like section 5 of the Voting Rights Act ruled unconstitutional.



By a "non activist" Judiciary, of course.



But that's not my point. Section 5 and many environmental and financial regulations are under attack by those who say, in effect, "those bad old days are over, we don't need those laws any more . . .".



Ok, fine. So what? What's the big deal about leaving them on the books, even if they don't need to be used? What's the point of abolishing a law that prevents you from doing something?



The only reason is so you can go back to doing the prohibited activity. And not go to jail.



See? Simple. And that's the only reason.



After all, if no murders have happened, in the last few years, we don't revoke the laws against murder, do we? Not been mugged lately? Revoke the laws against armed robbery and assault, right?



Well, no, not really.



Sheesh. Add a comment

Classic. . .

Curtailing Saturday US Post Office delivery will save 2 billion per year. According to them



Is this the, excuse me, "a", first step in the total elimination of the US post office? Perhaps just making it small enough to "drown in the bathtub"?



This from "supporters" of the Constitution and "framers intent"? Oh, I see, that only applies when Profit Motive does not enter the picture . . . But we knew that already, we just tend to forget, minds dulled by Bread And Circuses . ..



Do they think we do not get that the USPS would have turned a profit all these years if only Congress had not mandated all those "payments into the future", that NO other agency (or even free market) entity has ever been forced to do?



Smells a bit like "Bill of Attainder" to me at least in some ways.



In any case, what a load of bullocks as the Brits would say. Add a comment
