5. What's the death toll from Depleted Uranium in Iraq from radiation? In Falluja, which was heavily bombarded by the US in 2004, as many as 25% of new- born infants [1] have serious abnormalities, including congenital anomalies, brain tumors, and neural tube defects in the spinal cord. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=16934

6. How many military bases does the U. S. have overseas? 737 military bases. http://www.alternet.org/story/47998/

7. How many foreign governments has the United States overthrown that we know of? Over 25 in every continent on Earth. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Blum/US_Interventions_WBlumZ.html

8. Who has tactical control of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons? Regional Commanders in the field. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:bw90jvyvkKUJ:www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2010/may/12/debating-nuclear-deterrence-symposium/+.tactical+control+of+U.S.+tactical+nuclear+weapons+field+commanders&cd=15&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

9. The top 1% of Americans own 43% of financial wealth in this country. The next 4% own 29%. The next 5% own 11%. The next 10% own 10%. The bottoms 80% of Americans own a whopping 7% of this nation's worth. So is it the Socialists that are crazy?

10. The fix is in. No matter whether it's a Republican win or a Democratic win in this year's elections, 80% of the nation will still be have-nots with no change in sight and we will all dance to the tune of the Military-Industrial-Corporate-Complex. My own observations.

Read this and weep. I could go on but I won't. Even I get depressed writing about these things. If I do go to vote at the last minute, I'll hate myself in the morning.
