Look up II Timothy 2:15 Then go to http://www.enjoythebible.org and start rightly dividing God's word. Start handling the Bible properly as God intended to be handled.

Cindy is obviously correct, and how refreshing it would be to have someone in Congress who actually has the courage to tell truth to power.

Most Americans are tragically ignorant of their country's continuing inhumanity toward those in the Middle East. If any other country had done to Iraq what we have done, we would be demanding international justice for the perpetrators, but when the perpetrators reside in the White House we hide our faces, play dumb, and go about our merry way as more and more innocents are killed in the name of freedom and democracy. this war is about oil and US imperialism - nothing more - and we are the criminals - regardless of what we might think of the Iraqis.

It seems, thanks to your compilation of grievances Ms. Sheehan, that Laura Bush is either not paying attention to the rest of the world or is just plain oblivious to the suffering her spouse has inflicted on the rest of the planet. Not even in her own front yard, so to speak. or, perhaps, she is really just as power-hungry as her husband, and just as stupid.

I have to agree with you. I don't wonder where it came from, lest we forget that her mother-in-law has one of those "beautiful minds" that doesn't warrant looking beyond the magic mirror on the wall ~ which appears to be a family trait.

Having had several fundamentalist religions crammed down my throat in my formulative years, I came to recognize that the most voracious belief going for most of the fundamentalists is that in their passionate enthusiasm for making others convert to their cause and living within the confines of their passion ~ they are absolved from anything akin to breaking any human laws because their god would be pleased that they "saved" some poor slobs that were outside their faith. And then they assume the role of enforcers of the practicum in order to preserve their power over the converts' lives so they won't "fail" or whatever.

Another problem is the way in which these "passionates" assess merit ~ George nominates a cabinet member or justice of the court who has no credibility for the position yet he/she "deserves" to be accepted by the attending Congressional Committee, inorder to send them to the general assembly for an up or down vote, which he has already secured victory, simply because he/she was nominated by George, the emperor and gods' buddy.

"Because I said so" rationale for such important placement is entirely inappropriate and foolhardy at best.

The Bush conglomerate seems to think that if they don't look at something, it isn't there, and god will keep them safe from having to turn their gaze toward anything that isn't part of their "beautiful plans".

Nice article Cindy.

For those who don't want to look it up:

M-7:3
"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
====================

"He shall proclaim the norm,
lovely in its beginning,
lovely in its middle, and
lovely in the end thereof."

Gautama Buddha speaking about the World Teacher

Where are our monks?

she has the afflictions of Lady Macbeth.

Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?

Story has it, it was also the lovely Laura who did in an old flame one night at an intersection on the quiet back country roads of rural texas. the most popular boy in town, I think it was. She has much inward looking to do I think.

Recognize it - aside from all the blather that goes on about Laura Bush - the fact is simlple: She's an enabler!!! She's a fundamental part of the destruction of nations and of our constitutional heritage, and the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. Let that enabler try to cleanse her hands of the blood that accummulates on them each each day she tries to be nice.

Was she up for manslaughter as a teenager?

the old cliche goes, er, behind every good woman there's a, no, behind every good man, no, well there's always a woman and a man getting fooled or something like that. It's Genesis 3:1 I think.

"Story has it, it was also the lovely Laura who did in an old flame one night at an intersection on the quiet back country roads of rural texas. the most popular boy in town, I think it was. She has much inward looking to do I think."

My, that's something that was conveniently swept under tha carpet of public scrutiny. I have never heard that our first "lady" was a cold-blooded killer. Hmmm.

Adds just a tad more light on her sequestered status. Of course, it could just be that the "good christian woman" that she perceives herself to be is quietly kept in that "place" like her hubby's mom. (Barabara spoke out once against the gov't's role in the aborthion debate while "poppy" was in office... She was quickly silenced.) Guess they probably aren't willing to take any chances with Laura since she shows signs of having intellect beyond that of her superior male partner.

I'm certain every word that falls from her lying lips are carefully scripted, like her husband's false words. I think she's just a better actress than dumb-nuts.

The Geneva Convention defines torture as ANY means of compelling the prisoner, so the case is pretty much open and shut as to war crimes. What is in doubt is if Bush 43 will allow the next election to put him in the position of being accountable for his actions.

(IE: will he ALLOW another election.)

what, have elections been taken off the table now too? or are they under the table?? where's that Belecosi lady we hired fer the job? whatever.

we should know that whom one has murdered or not murdered or how many is simply not discussed in polite society. you know, comme ils faut and what not. so come on in and snag yourself some beer and pretzels!

ok, no more posts here. the subject is too rife.

Don't worry, there will be another election. Every picture of Bush these days screams that he's sick of this job and wants to quit. Even with his month long 'vacations', this is still the hardest he's ever worked at a job in his life.

And also, Bush has no fear whatsoever of being held accountable for his actions by a following administration. Consider these facts ...

-- The Democrat leadership in Congress is actively blocking attempts to impeach Bush today.
-- The Clinton White House already established the track record of Democrats saying they want to 'look to the future' and not following up on crimes of their predecessors. There is nothing that Hillary has said in the last 15 years that makes anyone think she disagrees with this.
-- In fact, you hear absolutely nothing from any of the top Democratic contenders about any sorts of trials or prosecutions of this administration.
-- The Democratic Congress has a proven track record in this term of passing bills to retroactively make legal the illegal actions of this administration.

So, there would seem to be no threat whatsoever of a Democrat administration doing anything to hold Bush accountable for his actions. If you want that to happen, you'd better vote for someone other than the Democrats.

I don't regret that Mrs. Bush is not usually vocal about the many problems around the world. If she actually had the habit of publicly weighing in more often on world affairs, many Republicans would assume her qualified to be the next President, and would start the Draft Laura movement to run her against the other Mrs. (Mrs. Clinton.)

Even now, the idea of a big surprise with Mrs. Bush being drafted in the race at a very, very, late date is still conceivable, even if it seems remote. The more we hear her speak out on anything larger than library advocacy, the more we should listen and be wary of the one who is said to be "the most popular Republican in America".

"If you want that to happen, you'd better vote for someone other than the Democrats."

Here we go again, griping about the Democrats. My elementary school teacher told my class that if you're going to gripe about something in one breath, in your next breath you better provide a suggestion as to how to improve the situation. And during my lifetime I've found that to be true - it's easy to bitch but it's harder to fix.

No, the Democrats are not perfect. They do however offer something at least somewhat better than what we've been suffocating under for the last 8 years.

So my question is..... who is this progressive, viable, realistic candidate for whom I should vote that is not a Democrat? And by that, I mean someone who has more than a snowball's chance in Hell of winning in 2008?

The story of Laura Bush's accident on a country road that killed a former boyfriend..is quite interesting. I consider anyone that supports the wars to be an accomplice to murder..she's got more blood on her hands than I can imagine.

dmia,

Thanks (again) for defending the mainstream of liberals who actually reside in the Democratic party. You're right that they are the achievable alternative to the next 8 years being just like the last 7.

Laura Bush probably really does feel for the people of Burma but, as Cindy is saying, she just doesn't see the blatant hypocracy of her husbands massive murder of thousands. It shows the deep psychological disconnect that exists in the minds of these Jesus freaks. Dangerous people, them Bushies and Chaneys.

laura bush is not blind,she is a partner in crime and pathetically over-medicated.i do not have to strain one bit to surmise that the smell of the illuminati is all over the monks of burma..the same overpowering smell that is in iraq and afganistan.the united states has a long and committed mission to wiping out the buddist(they were the faction,geniocided in vietnam)as the buddist doctrine of love,compassion and non-violence is the purist threat to any evil new world order.it is just one big shame that when george started his murderous run,the dalai llama not only didnt step up to the plate-HE THREW the game..guess they must have appointed the wrong incarnate,as leader..just like the whole rest of the world.jesus got so villified by the christian right in america,that he is went camping with buddha......

dear ms.sheehan,with all due respect...how can you participate in an election...when those same powers you are so eager to join,have not satisfied the will of the people(impeachment)??i would think that your conscience would strain under the weight..impeach first...and as one of my fellow posters put it so aptly"ELECTION IS NOT IMPEACHMENT !"

The IMF told the Burmese government that they had to stop subsidizing fuel and other items as part of a new loan package.

The government did what they were told.

Critizing Chevron alone is just misunderstanding the issue.
IMF seems to be slipping through this unnoticed.

For "justice" who posted first with a biblical quote and an admonition:

"Look up II Timothy 2:15 Then go to http://www.enjoythebible.org and start rightly dividing God's word. Start handling the Bible properly as God intended to be handled."

Thomas Mellon's experience speaks to us now: www.near-death.com/experiences/reincarnation04.html

... and CINDY ... you are hitting the mark more and more. TRUTH has a way of doing that.

miracle

"Birds of a feather flock together".... Dear Laura would be as dimwitted, ignorant of other peoples sorry plight and fundamentalist racist in her views; as her nitwit psychopath spouse 'bush the inferior'.... As for her understanding over 1 million Iraqi civilians have been murdered...spousal attribution bias would have her believe ignorantly 'little georgy' told her that was discredited an' all..so don't you worry your 'pretty little head' about what those mischievous progressives banter about...

The other day I saw something interesting as a group of us were carpooling to work. A young man driving one of those hydraulically lifted Dodge Ram Superdiesel trucks had two rifles mounted on the back window, and (this is really what caught my eye) a Biblical passage painted on the truck's tail gate. On I-90, a truck driver (White Freightliner) not only had Biblical Scripture passages painted all over the cab, but also all over the box trailer! Is it now popular to paint Biblical passages on one's vehicle?? Has anyone else who posts on CD seen something like that?

stop accusing the people...accuse the devil..but if we choose to become a 'volunteer'in (its) evil games-then we really have no one to blame BUT ourselves..

All relationships are 50/50. The fact Laura is still married to a War Criminal says it all about degrees of complicity. Alternatively it could be a pathological case of DENIAL...and that ain't the river in Egypt..

dmia says "Stop griping about the Democrats" "they do offer something at least somewhat better than what we have been suffering under for the last 8 years". Wrong dmia! We were suffering more than 8 years. Under Clinton we got 'end of welfare as we know it' and the horror and job of NAFTA.

Just what are the Democrats offering? I only see more of the same. I suggest we vote independent. Look up Cindy Sheehan's web site at www.cindyforcongress.org and send her a few bucks.

I am surprised to see the story of sweet Laura running down the boy friend that dumped her. I thought only cops knew that story.

Looks like she is going.

"U.S.: First Lady To Visit Mideast
October 15, 2007 19 02 GMT

U.S. first lady Laura Bush will visit Kuwait during an Oct. 20-26 Mideast trip, the Kuwait News Agency reported Oct. 15. Bush also plans to visit the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Jordan to meet with officials, medical and educational leaders and leaders of women's groups, Bush's press secretary Sally McDonough said."

visit www.stratfor.com

Thank you Cindy. That was as coherent and peaceful as ever.

I am surprised to see both Cindy Sheehan and the vast majority of posters on a purportedly progressive website apparently agreeing that Laura Bush is culpable for her husband's crimes. I did not know that being a family member of a malefactor made one complicit in the malefactor's actions; however, I'll be sure to inform the Israeli army. I'm sure they'll be relieved to hear that the families of suicide bombers whom they've been punishing all these years actually did have it coming.

People, if we become angry and willing to hurt innocents just because it's a way to get to our enemies, we're no better than the people we fight. If we're going to fight for justice, we have to attack those who work injustice, and ONLY those. We can't go after their families, no matter who frustrated we get.

And as for you people suggesting Laura Bush murdered her ex with a car, stop it. YOu sound like the Republicans trying to smear the Clintons for Vince Foster's suicide. It's just as much of a red herring, and it's just as pathetic.

bp63..laura takes another vacation in dubai with all the other elite royals,how pleasant....

Mrs. Bush, like the silent good Americans, pays lip service to human suffering until it is a member of her immediate family.

When your neighbor does not have health care it is a shame; when you do not have health care it is a crisis.

When will we see that we are the other people?

Enlightened self-interest means that helping others is helping oneself.

Rally Against War & Injustice

When: Friday, October 19, 2007, 5PM - 6PM
Where: Corner of Fifth & Liberty, Ann Arbor (In front of the Federal Building)
What: Join the folks who rally every weekday rush hour at this site to protest the war in Iraq. Committee to Defend Catherine Wilkerson signs and banner will be provided.

This Friday, the Committee to Defend Catherine Wilkerson is going back again to its anti-war roots. As you may know, Dr. Wilkerson is charged with two crimes for assisting to protester who was rendered unconscious by police at a protest against Ray Tanter. Last year, the American Movement for Israel invited Ray Tanter, PhD, to speak at the UM. In his 1998 book, Rogue Regimes, Tanter admitted to being an unindicted co-conspirator in the illegal Iran-Contra arms deal. In October, 2002, Tanter told the Michigan Daily that the coming US invasion of Iraq would be "an antidote" and that there would be no backlash. "Arab people won't go crazy, Muslim people won't go crazy. They'll roll over because they hate Saddam Hussein." Vanity Fair reported that in a speech in late 2005: "Tanter went as far as to suggest that the U.S. consider using tactical nuclear weapons against Iran." During his UM presentation last year, Tanter advocated reversing the State Department's designation of the Mujahedeen-e Khalq as a "foreign terrorist organization" so that they could receive funding to expand their terror campaign in Iran and bring about a "civil war."

Meet Dr. Wilkerson and Watch An Injury to One

When: Thursday, November 1, 2007, 6PM
Where: Downtown Latte (a free trade coffee house) located at 44 S. Saint Clair in downtown Toledo, OH
What: Meet Dr. Wilkerson and watch her son's award-winning, 53-minute, documentary film, An Injury to One

See Peter Rachleff's review of An Injury to One in the Monthly Review here.
From the First Run/Icarus films web site:

An Injury To One
A Film by Travis Wilkerson

AN INJURY TO ONE provides a corrective—and absolutely compelling—glimpse of a particularly volatile moment in early 20th century American labor history: the rise and fall of Butte, Montana. Specifically, it chronicles the mysterious death of Wobbly organizer Frank Little, a story whose grisly details have taken on a legendary status in the state. Much of the extant evidence is inscribed upon the landscape of Butte and its surroundings. Thus, a connection is drawn between the unsolved murder of Little, and the attempted murder of the town itself.

Butte's history was entirely shaped by its exploitation by the Anaconda Mining Company, which, at the height of WWI, produced ten percent of the world's copper from the town's depths. War profiteering and the company's extreme indifference to the safety of its employees (mortality rates in the mines were higher than in the trenches of Europe) led to Little's arrival. "The agitator" found in the desperate, agonized miners overwhelming support for his ideas, which included the abolishment of the wage system and the establishment of a socialist commonwealth.

In August 1917, Little was abducted by still-unknown assailants who hung him from a railroad bridge. Pinned to his chest was a note that read 3'-7'-77", dimensions of a Montana grave. Eight thousand people attended his funeral, the largest in Butte's history.

The murder provides AN INJURY TO ONE with a taut, suspenseful narrative, but it isn't the only story. Butte's history is bound with the entire history of the American left, the rise of McCarthyism, the destruction of the environment, and even the birth of the detective novel. Former Pinkerton detective Dashiell Hammett was rumored to have been involved in the murder, and later depicted it in Red Harvest.

Archival footage mixes with deftly deployed intertitles, while the lyrics to traditional mining songs are accompanied by music from William Oldham, Jim O'Rourke, and the band Low, producing an appropriately moody, effulgent, and strangely out-of-time soundtrack. The result is a unique film/video hybrid that combines painterly images, incisive writing, and a bold graphic sensibility to produce an articulate example of the aesthetic and political possibilities offered by filmmaking in the digital age.

"An astonishing document: part art and part speculative inquiry, buzzing with ambition and dedication. Takes us from the 19th century to the eve of the 21st, from Butte as land of frontier promise to Butte as land of death and environmental destruction. He wields avant-garde graphics and archival ephemera like a lasso, and his shots of modern-day Butte are allusive still-lifes that defy time and place. This is stirring, must-see stuff."—Austin Chronicle

"A deft, ambitious exercise in old-school socialist agitprop crafted with the precise mulitmedia flair of a corporate Powerpoint presentation, Travis Wilkerson's AN INJURY TO ONE retells the gritty class struggles of the previous century through smoothly contemporary digital means."—The Village Voice

"The most exciting documentary of the season. Passionate, persuasive, and beautifully designed, AN INJURY TO ONE is a model of coherent political filmmaking as convincing in its liberalism as its formalism."—The New York Sun

**What do you think, Cindy, of Dennis Kucinich? Many people listen to you... maybe you can get them to listen to him. Or would talking about him hurt your "campaign"?

Dustinchicago, the tone of your inquiry is half of the problem that has put America in the droll slumber it is in. By this I mean we don't need people to 'listen' to Cindy to take a particular course of action. Following what she has to say like cattle. We need people to start thinking again. We need people to massage their noggin with thoughts and come to their OWN conclusions! Don't get me wrong, I agree with most of what Cindy has to say and what she stands for. But the way I see it, she is most beneficial to our society when she stirs us to ponder a situation, sweeping the cobwebs from our brain and to think independently. I liken her writings to the actions of Paul Revere, riding through town calling "The British are coming, the British are coming" She is sounding the alert for us, waking us to threats around us. Now that we hear it, it is up to each of us to use our brain and decide what steps need to be undertaken. Once this has occurred we can reach a democratic consensus and undertake the "best" solution, not blindly follow whatever dumb cow is currently leading the herd over a proverbial cliff because we don't know any better.

Each and every one of us have a duty and responsibility to become informed of events around us. We owe it to ourselves, our country and our future.

Knowledge IS power folks!

Matthew is the place to look, all right.

[25] And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
[26] And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
[27] And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Matt.12: 25-27

LazLong, I take issue with your assertion that "Cindy Sheehan and the vast majority of posters on a purportedly progressive website" are "apparently agreeing that Laura Bush is culpable for her husband's crimes".

Cindy nowhere states or even implies "guilt by association". She is certainly addressing the ramifications of a First Lady speaking in a public capacity-- an "official" capacity that has come to exist without any formal authority or recognition-- to deplore and criticize human rights abuses in a faraway land when her criminal spouse and his partners in crime have resolutely institutionalized human rights abuses in the name of a fictitious Global War on Terror. The question of the culpability of supporting members of a criminal regime is a agonizingly difficult one, but profoundly important, and only rarely do Nurembergs or Reconciliation Commissions grasp the nettle. Instead, the perpetrators live out their lives with no public reckoning, and their roles become marrow for scholars inclined to crunch the juicy bones of history.

But Cindy isn't imposing collective guilt here at all; to paraphrase broadly, Cindy is walking up to Laura Bush, rapping her knuckles on the First Lady's vacuous head, and trying to determine if there's anything inside besides echoes. If the First Lady is purportedly charged to express policy or opinion, and is fit to do so, certainly she is fit to be taken to task for her appalling hypocrisy. I'd hardly classify her as an "innocent"; I don't believe that, say, Eleanor Roosevelt would meekly submit to hubby's marching orders to go out there and castigate Burma as if the US political warlords have the high moral ground.

It's true enough that being a demure shill for the administration is an unavoidable part of the job for modern First Ladies-- even the term is ooky-- but it's fair to criticize Laura's cognitive dissonance in deploring the bloody-handedness on the other side of the world while turning a blind eye to the home team's depredations. You could look it up.

Go Cindy! 8)

First of all, I like Dennis Kucinich and have endorsed him as the best Democrat out there (running fro president). Having said that, maybe you should ask Dennis why he endorses Nancy Pelosi who blocks impeachment, funds the war and gives Crazy George more power to spy on us. And what about Iran?

Cynthia McKinney may run and then she will get my endorsement and help.

I don't think we ever give up on impeachment and I will be in Congress for two weeks while BushCo are in power and I will introduce Articles of Impeachment against them everyday...and then work to impeach them post-office, which is possible if they take any kind of federal benefits.

I never said Laura was culpable in BushCo's crimes because she is related to him, but she lies for him all the time...she is a war supporter and if she cares about Burma (which we all should) then she would speak out against the atrocities of Iraq as we all should).

I also have heard lots about her killing her boyfriend and living in the Mayflower Hotel in DC separated from George (which I would give her a lot of credit for)...but I don't believe it is credible to attack people like they attack me. BushCo has enough policy problems without going after their private lives, which may or may not be true, anyway.

It is like the neocon Rove machine and I won't sink to those levels.

And it's not a "campaign" it's a CAMPAIGN! Get used to it.

Love
Cindy

Word has it that Dennis Kucinich is the guest tonight on "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central at 8:30 pm right after Jon Stewart.

Might be interesting to watch.

As to Cindy, Laura and Bible quoting, one of my favorites of J.C.'s was when he said, "What ever ye do to the least of my brethren, ye do it to me."

If the blathering scattered whining on Common Dreams represents progressive America, waht hope is there?

None in the immediate future.

The selective biblical literalists like those on enjoyethebible claim to believe that "The Bible by nature also possesses absolute and final authority". They haven't read much of it though. Matthew 25:31-46, if read with the literalism they demand, would have almost every American in hell.

Cindy,

thanks for chastising me in regards to my comments about Laura, in certain respects that was uncalled for.

In the same light, Federalist Capers, although I completely disagree with your interpretation on the posts and have found a good deal of hopefulness in them, in the same light as what Cindy is suggesting to us, why don't you give us your informed opinion on the issue of hope?

Or did you not read the verse from Matthew? Maybe your strictly old testament?

To try to poke the speck out of our neighbor's eye...

It's surely a crime against humility to display halopated politicians. Perhaps Islam is correct about 'graven' images.

"So my question is….. who is this progressive, viable, realistic candidate for whom I should vote that is not a Democrat? And by that, I mean someone who has more than a snowball's chance in Hell of winning in 2008?"

This is setting the bar impossibly high for third parties. Progressives don't support the Greens, and then complain that they aren't viable.

Again ... do yourselves a favor ...

So many people have had near-death experiences and when they emerge from them, their view of creation and the understanding of the Love and Benevolence and Power behind that creation, both within and without, is enormously expanded.

www.near-death.com/experiences/reincarnation04.html

We are currently living in dinosaur-land in terms of the same-old, same-old approach to problems by those in official positions who are driven to covet and TAKE and at the same time are threatened by resistance: Attack and kill ... same-old/same-old, and then they point the finger to blame the other guy(s).

Part of the job of living, as I see it, is to expand our ways of looking at things, to develop independent thinking and not keep reacting to the same-old, same-old without being innovative in thinking and acting on our own or with others.

We have to decide ourselves what kind of world we want; how are we going to save it because it is in danger from the same-old, same-old.

We have to become our own leaders right where we are standing rather than look to those governing us who fall so short and so often seem ... most of them ... so incredibly stupid and incompetent.

Do yourself a favor ... read the above link.
It may just inspire you to think past what is such same-old, same-old.

Seems sort of pathetic that a few hundred ... tops 1,000 ... people in the world are able to control 6.3 billion of us. Don't you think?

CINDY

Sorry. CINDY was part of another sentence begun and not deleted. In other words, CINDY did not write the above post.

Everyone talks about "progressives" as if they know what that means. Could someone please explain it? This progressive web site seems to have a share of disgruntled and angry democrats, former angry "never again" democrats, former republicans and now converted socialists, leftists, a few libertarians and anarchists, some greens, some Naderites, etc.

I'm trying to find a commonality, is it anger at the status quo? What are progressives trying to build on? Is it a movement in search of a voice? If so what is it saying?

It is not just Laura who is culpable, it is the American public. If we were really as decent as we pretend to be we'd be jamming the congressional emails and phone lines with demands that our civil rights be restored, legal immunity for torturers and war criminals be revoked, and the International Criminal Court be joined so Bush could be turned over for trial under an impartial, non-neocon-dominated judiciary. We'd take action against Chevron and boycott their products.

Let me see.....according to the Rethuglicans, Ted Kennedy got away with murder and drowned his so-called girlfriend ("pregnant" according to the Rethugs), but no one is supposed to mention the fact that Laura Bush crashed into her ex-boyfriend's car with her car and killed him. Why is that? Don't you love how Democrats kowtow to Republicans all the time?! No wonder Rethuglicans are so spoiled.

All of our "elected" are puppets of the corporations. Lara is making a feeble attempt to save the wepuck party. Not that it matters because they can just cheat again to win.
Instead of the corporations and oil companies being happy with a little-they want all of the spoils.
I am sick of hearing the corporate powers wine about the working class being responsible for everything.
Always a lot of blame and never solutions. I do not understand why the corporations do not say "there is no more profit because there is nothing left to steal.

Thanks Cee Miracles. The link that you provided is truly inspiring. I wish to look into it more.

Also, I do not understand Mathew. Can someone interpret this (included in a post above) for me?

[26] And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

[27] And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Matt.12: 25-27

Don't forget, Laura was a drug dealer before it was cool, and she supplied George and his friends back in the day. My gut feeling about her is that she's long been sleeping in another bedroom because she can't stand him. Her librarian knowledge of facts make no dent in his insane certainty that God wants him to torture people and destroy Iraq, Iran and America because God thinks oil is really important. I think she has nothing but contempt for him, but maybe I'm projecting.
