Not reality again. Well it was bound to come up. What about this reality ? -
"The Houston Chronicle did a long takeout on Sunday on the suicide in March 2007 of an Army recruiting sergeant, Nils Aron Andersson — just one day after his marriage to Carry Walton. Sgt. Andersson, 25, had spoken of the many horrors that he had encountered in Iraq and was deeply depressed. He shot himself while sitting in his pickup in a parking garage. Distraught, Ms. Walton bought a 9-millimeter handgun at a sporting goods store the next day and killed herself."
You are still falling into it. I say take the candidates, all of them and tie them to chairs in a room, with the cameras rolling, let me give you a small sample of the kind of questions I would ask.
1. How soon are we going to get the hell out of Iraq, and how much you figure it is going to cost us to RESTORE their infrastructure so they can again live like human beings so we can worry about their and other Arabs' animosity a bit less ?
2. How are you going to change trade practices so that we again are a country with a viable REAL economy in which we produce goods, not just services. What are you going to do to make the US an attractive environment for companies that actually produce something other than bombs and paper clips ?
3. What are you going to do when China dumps her Tbills. The dollar, which is worth about a nickel now will probably fall to about a penny. All of people's saving are wiped out, what are you going to do in the way of relief ?
4. What are you going to do to get back the fucking over a hundred bucks a barrell the people have been shysted out of for the oil we fought and conquered. The law, as proscribed in the Trading with the enemy act specifically declares this oil to belong to the victor, which is our government. By that virtue the People own it. So who did we pay all that money to and how do we get it back ?
5. What are you going to do about the exceedingly large number of non violent offenders being housed in prisons all over this country ? At taxpayer expense I might add. They should be out and working unless their habit is so bad as to prevent it. Which brings us to another point, where would they work ?
6. If you were offered a deal whereby you never had money in your life, that you give away all you have and never recieve another dime, but all your needs are fullfilled by the people, would you go for it ? Remember you and your money are parted forever, but you will never have to work. Go to any store, it is payed for. Even if you want pot, buy the guy a friggin beef tenderloin for a half ounce. But you are forever forbidden to touch money or any instrument thereof (like a check) ever again. Ever. Would you take the deal ? (of course there would be limits)
7. How long before you start closing military bases and stop foreign aid ?
Now understand #7 here. Iraq not withstanding we have military bases all over the place, over 130 of them. This is not our fucking job. If our puppet government can't defend themselves against their subjects I guess we just have to build them sturdier in the future.
And getting rid of foreign aid ? You know who is going to bitch the loudest, and let me tell you something, they have quite a bit of influence over world banking affairs. And that's not all, just China could about wreck us without their help. We are going to be in a very bad situation indeed. If you think it is bad now, just wait. It is going to happen, it has to happen. The US is going into default no matter what.
Policies have destroyed our ability to recover, or even be a successful isolationist country. We cannot even feed ourselves anymore. And people won't stop fucking having kids.
But the people who caused this will sit comfortably in their ivory towers, musing whether to pick up more euros vs the yuan or the pound. We will get to the point where is takes a wheelbarrel full of money to buy a postage stamp.
And you know what happened last time. A racist, secular but populist leader emerged, but made promises, and the thing is he kept them. But he wasn't leading a melting pot, so therefore whoever has the majority and the most balls will prevail. There will be a period of intercene strife. After which we will be more militant than ever.
Do you want that future for your children or the children of your friends ?
I have an idea, I'll be back.
