Yeah, I know
I know I do a lot of posting on the forum board of News and Politics but, I think that it is very important that an informed public can make an informed decision.
I think the movie "Charlie Wilson's War" and "Lions for Lambs" give a good representation of what is going on in the world today and how if what the US starts is not finished how it effects the rest of the world and country for decades to come.
When I got out of the Army I went to college to get my Political Science degree so I could go to law school and then become a politician. I learned I wasn't dishonest enough to be a politician.
Everyone thinks Obama will change things and Clinton will be more influenced by the old Demo Establishment and McCain will just be another Bush.
What people don't really understand is that is there, really, is no difference between the two parties. The rich will protect the rich no matter what party they belong to. It's the "Good Ole Boys Club" mentality of the career politicians that fuck us over. One President does't do that much. What has to change is who is elected to the Congress and the Senate. You don't get to be a Commitee Chairperson with out having done some thing for other members of your party and you certianly have to do things for members of the other party, too.
I don't care who you vote for for President but I do hope you will vote against any incumbent career politician. They are the ones with the real power.
I'm a registered Democrate and have been since 1971, years before many of you were born or could vote and believe me there is no difference between them. Sure, we have our ultra-liberals as the Repubs have their ultra-conservatives but the monied class, the eliets of society, take care of their own first and fuck the rest of us.
You don't hear about the rich compaing about fuel or food. They own all the companies. It we the people who suffer and have to deal with the messes they make and they still make money off of us.
California and Nevada have banned burning wood for heating claiming it hurts the enviornment but who makes the money off of the Utilities, the rich that's who. Who has money to invest in the Comodites Markets with futures and shortages, the rich. It cost at least $10,000 to even invest in the Futures market while we can't even afford health care.

Current mood: disappointed

Kotikkk,
I'm searching the web for the photos of space and will down load them to my gallery, if I find them.
The movies are avaliable on DVD and I rented them.
True, a number of forest fires do occur in CA and NV each year. Many of these fires are set by arsonists. The trouble with CA is that many local govt's have the power to over rule the CA Dept of Forestry. The Dept of Forst wants to allow people into areas to cut down dead trees and trees that are dieseased but the local govt won't allow it, especially Lake Tahoe and the S.F. and L.A. areas. If they allowed people to use this would there would be less fuel on the ground for the fires to spread.
The govt's ban the private use of wood for heating fuel but sell it the a Company call Bio Mass which burns it to produce electricty. So not only so we have to pay more for gas or electricty to heat our homes we have to pay the city to haul this burnable material away. So, in the long run we are force to give this material away for free, have to pay to have it hauled away and the pay when we use it.
If the govt is willing to pay me to surrender my wood fuel and have the utilities company's pay me for not using my private fuel then I'd be happy to stop using wood to heat my home. But since this will never happen I say fuck'em. The same goes on with re-cycling. We pay a deposit when we purchase a container, deposit in a re-cyclying container for the purpose of re-cycling it, have to pay to have a compay pick it up and they make and keep the profit. It's a bunch of shit.
If I pay the deposit and pay the company to pick it up then I should be getting a credit on my bill for my contribution to the company earnings.

Never thought about it that way. You are right the rich will protect the rich no matter what!

Very interesting! Have you any more info or links about these movies, some torrents etc?
Banning woodburning in CA and Nevada is a wise decision anyway, those poor woods burn every year even with no additional human activity.
