iraq quagmire + oil profits
• Neville Chamberlain Redux?. It matters little that The Donald lies so glibly about others [claiming those who criticize the Bush Regime are "appeasers"] they fact of the matter is that Rumsfield was hob-nobbing with tyrants long before the generation now dying in Iraq on his behalf were born. History shall take note, no matter how much the Bushies try to re-write it.
• And why go to Iraq anyway? Why, for the oil. German/American vehicles need it. Andrew Uroskie reprints a piece by Ezra Dyer on the new Dodge Ram, a gas guzzler and proud of it!. Quote: "I know that thrifty fuel economy isn’t a priority here. I also know that your garden-variety 4x4 pickup will probably never see 20 m.p.g. But the Ram SRT10 rivals a torched oil well for sheer profligacy — and, oh yes, it demands premium."
• Even Keith Olbermann, still some-time apologist for corporate excess, evoked Edward R Murrow when blasting Rumsfield on his speech before veterans. All we need now is a courageous senator in Congress to ask the Bush Administration if they have no sense of decency.
• As if decency were not an issue at all, [and,
apparently, it isn't], more reports surface emphasizing the gaps between the Average Joe and Oil Company CEOS. QUOTE: "As gas prices soared, the salaries of the nation's largest oil company CEOs doubled. At least that's what two organizations, the Institute for Policy Studies and United for a Fair Economy, stated in the recently released report, "Executive Excess 2006." The annual salary of executives working for the top 15 American oil companies now average $32.7 million per year, compared to $11.6 million for the CEOs of other large, international companies."

Hey Will,
Here's some pivotal information (wisdom) so you and others can stop focusing on the symptoms and home in like a laser on the root of our problems.
Money is the lifeblood of the powerful and the chains and key to human enslavement
There is a radical and highly effective solution to all of our economic problems that will dramatically simplify, streamline, and revitalize human civilization. It will eliminate all poverty and the vast majority of crime, material inequality, deception, and injustice. It will also eliminate the underlying causes of most conflicts, while preventing evil scoundrels and their cabals from deceiving, deluding, and bedeviling humanity, ever again. It will likewise eliminate the primary barriers to solving global warming, pollution, and the many evils that result from corporate greed and control of natural and societal resources. That solution is to simply eliminate money from the human equation, thereby replacing the current system of greed, exploitation, and institutionalized coercion with freewill cooperation, just laws based on verifiable wisdom, and societal goals targeted at benefiting all, not just a self-chosen and abominably greedy few.
We can now thank millennia of political, monetary, and religious leaders for proving, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that top-down, hierarchical governance is absolute folly and foolishness. Even representative democracy, that great promise of the past, was easily and readily subverted to enslave us all, thanks to money and those that secretly control and deceptively manipulate all currencies and economies. Is there any doubt anymore that entrusting politics and money to solve humanity's problems is delusion of the highest order? Is there any doubt that permitting political and corporate leaders to control the lives of billions has resulted in great evil?
Here's a real hot potato! Eat it up, digest it, and then feed it's bones to the hungry...
Most people have no idea that the common-denominator math of all the world's currencies forms an endless loop that generates debt faster than we can ever generate the value to pay for it. This obscured and purposeful math-logic trap at the center of all banking, currencies, and economies is the root cause of poverty. Those who rule this world through fear and deception strive constantly to hide this fact, while pretending to seek solutions to poverty and human struggle. Any who would scoff at this analysis have simply failed to do the math, even though it is based on a simple common-denominator ratio.
