Yachtsmen And The Olympics
I am ever so happy that Chicago's mayor, who sounds more like a fascist every day than GW Bush did, was unable to clog the great city with the Olympics and drive it further into debt. He blew taxes even higher by hosting silly things like, "Venetian Night?" Did you know that the city pays for "Venetian Night?" I have been to a couple of them with a friend who belongs to Lake Michigan Lakeshore, yacht club. There we sat on the deck of the yacht club eating chilled shrimp and lobster and crab, caviar, Roasted prime rib/Lobster Newberg, Clams on the half-shell, and the best Champagne on the planet and a host of other dainties and expensive, exotic, goodies in a huge buffet followed by a boring stream of Yachts of the very rich, most of which, at least those yacht owners I met, were legalized criminals and just regular illegal crooks/Corporate Criminals, all of which could afford to pay for "Venetian Night" themselves. What is there to pay for anyway? A few fireworks and the fuel to run the boats by a group of morons who are fat on too much money stolen from citizens?

Remove Corruption; Make Lobbying A Capital Crime!
However, so used are the Corporate Criminals, to robbing us to pay for their waste, that I think the reason Obama doesn't want to go after Bush for his crimes, is that ALL of them have robbed us of trillions and he does not want to set a precident for them to come after some of his people.

Here is the most comforting reason for my faith, knowing that these sonsofbitches will rot in Hell and why I think the legalization of dueling followed by implementation of the *Scaramouch approach is best. Otherwise, most people would prefer a rerun of the Original Revolution. Recall that The Bard Of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson said we should revolt every 20 years, or suffer, what we now suffer. In that task Americans have failed to obey that Founding Father. He foresaw what FDR did and later what Eisenhower did, in his Military Industrial Complex warning.

Roosevelt was given to know that when the majority of the wealth of a nation is in the hands of a small minority, so does the power to bribe and that has always been the case and is today. When/if one segment of the population of any nation amasses dynastic wealth and power, that nation takes the final step to degradation and destruction of itself.

Remove Bribes and you remove corruption, by making lobbying a Capital Crime.

Imagine that, a citizen led, political and commercial revolution to throw out all politicians including the downstate Illinois criminals, (of which I believe the former governor to be among the most moderately guilty), and the Chicago Criminals and arrest every politician in America, withdraw the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, confiscate the wealth and holdings in real estate from everyone who was any part of the Boom and crash.

Banish the war criminals, the peace criminals, and everyone for which we pay the toll except the poorest, nationalize Healthcare, exile all political families, nationalize the Drug companies, hospitals and physicians, paying the physicians as we pay professors. We should also nationalize oil, electricity and all fuel sources and nationalize water, (we will see a new Dust Bowl soon, viva la Faulkner, and that is no prophecy that is common sense,) ask the western and north western states, like Montana, all of whose mountain water supplies are 35%-61% less packed snow, which become drinking water).

Unemployment

Further I recommend dismantling the major Farm/chemical companies, make pesticides illegal to be sold over the counter, making advertising of prescription drugs illegal a federal offense with minimum sentences which rivaling those convicted of violent crimes.

People are safer smoking Marijuana and drinking booze, than breathing pesticide fumes from their lawns and gardens. Pesticides/herbicides are far more harmful that the Drugs Made By the Legalized Addictive Drug Dealers and their Pimps and Pushers, the physicians of America, at least many of them.

We need to forbid a foreign war unless there isa national referendum, instead we should declare war on Nazi/Skinheads/the KKK and all racists. Instead of a war on drugs, or a war overseas (why travel so far for a fight, when we have excellent targets right here, in the good old USA). Therefore, we should Criminalize Greed/Avarice, forbid land speculation and banish all the developers who were a part and parcel of this Depression, yes, Virginia there IS a DEPRESSION!

The MSM says we have about 10.7% out of work against 25% in the Depression from 1929 to 1939?

Well they did not have Unemployment Compensation (UEC) back then and now they are counting only those who are still on the roles of unemployment. Counting everyone else out of work, who are no longer in the queue of UEC temporary headcount, we have 27.5% which eclipses the Great Depression of the 1930's following the Stock Market Crash of 1929 (and that is without counting the underemployed who lost their jobs and then took jobs out of their expertise that pay less than one half to 15% of their previous jobs).

The MSM has not been very cooperative with truth since the 1960's and probably, unless tax subsidies support independent news organizations, The MSM never will be honest and truthful unless corporations are not allowed to own any of the news on any and all media.
