Mike, What we have now is a Talibanish group of war making radicals. They are making war outside in Iraq and Afghanistan and inside, right here in the USA. They have declared war on our freedoms with the Patriot Act and warrantless spying on all Americans. The NLRB is downsizing unions by renaming tradesmen and nurses as supervisors rather than employees. The NPS and FS are selling out our parks and forests through privitization or outright selling of acreage. Also their funding goes down causing maintenance to get way behind. The Clear Skies Act allows years of additional pollution at current levels. Veterans are being shortchanged as VA hospitals close and health benefits are reduced. The war in Iraq is costing $8 billion a month now and puts a huge dent in needed social, education, and infrastructure programs. Jobs are being outsourced to H-1B visa people or are being sent to India, China, and the PI. And on and on. We have a bunch of radicals in power who have no regard for the common worker who is an inconvenience at best. BushCo says "stay the course", "support the troops", "don't cut and run", etc. These are meaningless phrases which are repeated over & over until they seem to make sense but lead us nowhere except into darkness and destruction while the industrial/military complex makes hundreds of billions of dollars. Peace, D. Mindock
