    <description>Do you think workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect at their job?  When workers encounter injustice in their employment, do you think it is their right, if not their responsibility, to stand up to improve their own situation?  Join us, Organized Labor, and let&#039;s recover dignity, respect, and justice for America&#039;s workforce.</description>

            <title>Mccains real state of affairs of the Nation in 2013.</title>
            <description>YA&#039;&#039;T&#039;EEH!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should Mccain be elected, with all of the infighting in the party following is America 2013 state of the union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My felloow American Citizen&#039;s, I am sorry  that things did not workout the way I planned. As you all know in in April 1st of 09 we were forced to institute the draft. All the illegals we were hiring as cannon fodder for a green card got smart, they will no longer play the game. It was hoped to have won the war in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 However as you all know Israel decided to attack Iran, and we were obligated to go into the war on behalf of our ally. We are at risk of losing in Afganistan. We were not counting on war in Pakistan, but since our man Musharafe got overthrown we were forced to declare war there. Bin laden is still alive and doing well. Syria decided to get into the act, and now we have added problems south of here in the conflict with   Venezuela.&lt;br /&gt;
The KIAs in the handful of conflicts we have now Have gone beyond 200,000 We presently have 1,000,000 soldiers in several war fronts and another couple hundred thousand as advisors in a couple of other hotspots in South America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are about 2,000,000 million young men scattered about Europe, Canada, and Mexico that have avoided the draft. Nine out of ten Americans are homeless, and several million more war returnes can not find a job. Half a mil more have  commited suicide. THey did us a favor becuase we did not have any way to help them in the first place.They were just dead weight. Oil is holding at $400.00 dollars per barrel and our economy is just a tad slow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Support me as your president four four more years, and I can insure peace and prosperity within the first 2 years of my second term. No matter how many more young Americans die. We still have plenty of blacks, Hispanics, and a few Native Americans that will do the job for you and I.&lt;br /&gt;
JUST BE THANKFUL BLACKS HISPANICS AND A HANDFUL OF NATIVE AMERICANS WE HAVE LEFT, ARE BORN TO BE CANNON FODDER.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you&lt;br /&gt;
John McCain&lt;br /&gt;
POTUS&lt;br /&gt;
__________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Who here does not agree? If I left anything out list iot.&lt;br /&gt;
Republican in 08 is not an option. T&#039;a&#039;a&#039; iiyisi ahe&#039;hee&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>AP: Clinton still has more union support</title>
            <description>From&lt;br /&gt;
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080515/ap_on_el_pr/unions_democrats&lt;br /&gt;
By JESSE J. HOLLAND, AP Labor Writer  &lt;br /&gt;
Thu May 15&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there is still a major union plum to be had, the AFL-CIO, the nation&#039;s largest labor organization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AFL-CIO and its 56 unions expect to spend an estimated $200 million on the presidential and congressional elections. However, the labor federation is still nowhere close to making an endorsement, focusing its energies instead on presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To win its formal backing, a candidate must have support from two-thirds of the union&#039;s 10 million members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Including the Steelworkers, Obama has been endorsed by nine AFL-CIO unions and four unions from Change to Win, a rival labor organization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clinton still has more union support, having been endorsed by 13 AFL-CIO unions and Change to Win&#039;s United Farm Workers.</description>

            <title>Purge the Filth from Our Country</title>
            <description>Dirt, grime, sacred cattle defecating on the streets, terrorist strikes aimed at the general population, and disease in their country of choice - we&#039;ll just have to purge our former citizens from the bowels of our country into their new found home in India or China. In their effort to cast aside our country the business elite have utilized every tool within their toolbox of deceit and corruption in order to subjugate their fellow citizens. They&#039;ve lost the right to be counted among their fellow citizens. If their willing to destroy so many American families through the outsourcing and hiring of foreign workers to replace the jobs of hard working American citizens - these business elites should be shown the &#039;exit door&#039; in mid flight on this journey of destitution they&#039;ve charted for our nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any corporate executives including board members who were involved in the destruction of American lives, communities, and their nation at an alter of greed should have their citizenship immediately revoked. Let them plead for citizenship with their new found friends in India, China, or wherever they&#039;ve been engaged in their latest global pillage of wealth. They&#039;ll thoroughly enjoy their new found surroundings replete with all the trappings of a third world country or the absolute totalitarian government under true despot sudo communists. This represents not a warning but the promise from a people who have been battered and abused for far too long - we will engage our will - you&#039;re traitorous acts will be exposed beneath our light of justice. Prepare your luggage for a one way trip out of a country that you&#039;ve despoiled beyond recognition - small towns boarded up, torn &amp; worn down veterans and citizens, factories shuttered, working poor holding down 2-3 jobs, millions without healthcare, and citizen workers replaced by foreigners or having their jobs outsourced - the face of my country that has been distorted from continuous pain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After throwing out these traitorous slugs in our effort to cleanse our nation of those who befouled everything that we once stood for we&#039;ll immediately replace the boards and executives of the effected firms with citizens who&#039;ve been elected by the people. No longer will a business be considered some sacred entity designed solely for the interests of a few well connected elites but an economic creation that benefits the largest majority of our nation&#039;s citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those businesses that don&#039;t execute the will of the people should be nationalized. There is no excuse for a continuance of greed that forces our citizens into the desperate act of deciding between food, gas, or their prescription medicine in a roulette of utter despair - seize the billions upon billions of dollars from the most recalcitrant corporations such as oil firms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Transfer those filthy billions of dollars that were obtained by businesses within this totalitarian economic society to the immediate needs of a citizenry that has been crushed under the weight of a corrupt system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The boarding passes are now ready for those business elites who were traitors to their fellow citizens - please report to gate 13 your trip to hell is now cleared for departure. Have a wonderful time in your new found home - just remember you may never return.</description>

            <title>Are You a Veteran? Do You Know One?</title>
            <description>Are You a Veteran? Do You Know One?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many working men and women have done their part for our country through their service in the military. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, veterans of the U.S. military returning to the job market are more likely to become union members than other workers. Six million union members, or 38 percent of all union members, are veterans of military service.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But many soldiers and sailors returning home to look for jobs today face severe difficulty. Eighteen percent of veterans recently back from tours of duty are unemployed. Of those employed since leaving the military, 25 percent earn less than $21,840 a year, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We need your help as we fight for the rights of veterans in our ranks and for those re-entering the workforce from active service. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With so many new challenges facing veterans, we ask for your participation in our Union Veterans 2008 program. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To join up, please click here to take our Union Veterans 2008 survey:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://unionveterans2008.questionpro.com/ &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We’d like to hear about you and your service to our country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Veterans need policies that promote access to good jobs, protection of their re-employment rights and better education and training benefits through an expanded G.I. Bill.  They also need a fully funded Veterans Affairs health care program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are calling for working families to join our campaign and speak out to hold government and candidates accountable on the needs of our returning heroes--not only during the 2008 campaign, but beyond. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please click here to take our Union Veterans 2008 survey today:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In solidarity,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Working Families e-Activist Network, AFL-CIO&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S. Please pass this survey along to everyone you know who has served, or is currently serving, in our nation’s armed forces.</description>

            <title>For Jan MI &amp; CO  From Little Dine&#039;, T&#039;a&#039;a&#039; iiyisi Ahe&#039;hee for telling me of the feeling of the Elk and the Deer.</title>
            <description>The Elk and Deer, I understand now, my grandpa reminded me of the following.&lt;br /&gt;
Like the Deer:&lt;br /&gt;
To always be aware and be gentle with the use of word and, thought and touch in my demeanor. &lt;br /&gt;
To hone my ability to listen and make wise decision. So as to merit gracefully the appreciation of beauty and balance thereof. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
To learn and understand the what I require to survive, to be reciprocal and giving by making sacrifices for the power of Higher good, by choosing the alternative path that leads to good, so that my  humble goals in life are not put in jeopardy.&lt;br /&gt;
_________________________________________________________ &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the Elk I must develop  great stamina and resilience. Not to be as unpredictable as the Elk because I will  not reach my goals. Not to allow falling into traps of anger.  To be sensitive in signs of danger when attacked, or threatened. Stand my ground respectfully. Even if standing alone, but always with humility and wisdom of proper judgement, like the Elk uses his powerful antlers for defense. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To become more observant of subtile energies that surround me.&lt;br /&gt;
If not I will not become a true leader. I must keep my space sacred. I must master maintaining my emotional balance and keep agressiveness in check. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I must demand respect reciprocally and greatly  prideful privately as publicly, and always guard against egocentrism. Always be humble and honest.&lt;br /&gt;
Peace.&lt;br /&gt;
Little Dine&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Post Data, I have already made my appology public.&lt;br /&gt;
It is already 10:30  west coast time.&lt;br /&gt;
I must say good night all. Grandpa sends his greetings. I must attend him. He is in need of his pain medication.</description>

            <description>Seeing the abject poverty moving in animated distress through the streets of his city made John very uncomfortable. He was always of the opinion that those who weren&#039;t working were essentially failures unworthy of recognition in a system that provided everyone with unlimited opportunities. To compound his discomfiture he was now seeing uniformed relics of a war that he supports sleeping under cardboard blankets beneath bridges where he used to jog by - that was before these apparitions started accumulating in ever greater numbers. Why didn&#039;t his buddies in the Defense Department simply ship these useless dregs out for enough tours of duty until they were completely expended? It just occurred to him that he&#039;d have to increase his oil investments because that war was providing the hefty returns that were originally envisioned - with its continual festering of wounds in an already troubled Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or better yet the government could just send in the National Guard to round up these deviants that were cluttering his choice outdoor spaces. Clearly, someone of his stature within the community was exceedingly more significant than these dredges that harbored ill will towards him and his fellow wealthy patrons of society. Didn&#039;t these creatures realize that he and his friends represented the refined crust of an American society already crumbling with mold? Why weren&#039;t the lobbyists that he paid good money to vanquishing this scum from his city? He resolved that he would contact Sandy Duncan tomorrow about how she hadn&#039;t been fulfilling her end of the bargain since his funding of her campaign. He had enough of her pandering to those idiots who thought that they had elected her, she would do his bidding or else he would disconnect the spigot of money that was flowing into her campaign war chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the closing of the local food bank it was even difficult to stop his Mercedes at a stop light without someone rushing towards his car attempting to clean the windows with rag and sprayer in hand. Did they really expect him to give them one penny in support of this nasty nuisance? One day he even had to open his window to extricate this scum from his car because he just started coughing uncontrollably all over his car. Granted this credent probably hadn&#039;t had any medical attention since he came back from Iraq (was wearing some worn out uniform) and possibly was exposed to something that ruined his lungs but why did he have to befoul his brilliantly clean car? Anyway, at least he made it to the fund raiser for the Republican Party for he really enjoyed the $5,000 evenings because they always flew in a top chef from New York who prepared the most exquisite delicacies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just yesterday his employees were demanding a raise even though he had informed the miscreants that they&#039;d better &#039;toe the line&#039; or else more of them would be replaced by those foreign workers he&#039;d been shipping in from India. What were these slobs thinking given the demands that were being placed upon his bottom line by investors; clearly he&#039;d scaled down his life style. He wasn&#039;t even able to fly the corporate jet to the Riviera three times a year and could now only afford two visits per year. Did they really consider that he&#039;d give them a raise, he hadn&#039;t done it in 4 years - so why now? He was going to have to contact his HR manager tomorrow in order to draw up another list of terminations that would surely put the fear of god into those uncooperative serfs. Also, his quota of H1-B foreign workers was getting dangerously close to being exhausted therefore he&#039;d also have to visit that committee up in the House of Representatives and impress upon these most compliant stooges that he simply needed a higher quota of foreign workers next quarter. They could delight their constituents with their marvelously espoused gospel readings from the book of &#039;The Free Market&#039; while they cut their financial throats - that always worked wonders on that bunch of intellectually lazy working scum. They&#039;d believe anything the media pumped down their throats - for that matter they&#039;d been kicked around so much they reminded him of a dog that he once owned that would continually walk back towards him in its submissive slump ready to be booted once more by his strong swift leg.</description>

            <title>To all adult Fellow Bloggers on this PB SITE, I appologize to all for having disrespected all earlier.</title>
            <description>Ya&#039;&#039;at&#039;eeh!&lt;br /&gt;
I humbly and truly from the heart appologize to all here except for the person known as, Real Politics101.&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier the latter individual attacked me by callimg me a Moron, with out provocation other than my having commented honestly on what the pundits were reporting from the O Factor with O&#039;rielley, on fox news.&lt;br /&gt;
I lost my temper and I went off on him pretty badly. I later felt ashamed for having put on a spectacle and showing a bad side of me, which I assure will never happen again.  I spoke to grandpa about it and he told me an appology was in order from me to all on PB, for having lowered myself to this individual&#039;s level.&lt;br /&gt;
I agree with my grandpa, I as a minor youth have disrespected the adults here that had no reason to see the foulness of the language I used.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore grandpa pointed out to me that a leader does not allow himself to be dragged into something of that nature.&lt;br /&gt;
Grandpa pointed out that I have to always take things with a grain of salt because this type of action is not honoring our ancestors and forefathers.I am obligated to follow grandpas wishes. He is a respected elder in our family, it is the right thing for me to do.&lt;br /&gt;
Again I appologize to all here.&lt;br /&gt;
T&#039;a&#039;a&#039; iiyisi ahe&#039;hee for understanding.&lt;br /&gt;
May the Great Spirit bless all here.</description>

            <title>Announcing the [Denver convention] State Blogger Corps</title>
            <description>Announcing the State Blogger Corps&lt;br /&gt;
Posted by Aaron Myers on May 14, 2008&lt;br /&gt;
http://demconvention.com/announcing-the-state-blogger-corps&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Months ago, we began the process of credentialing bloggers who cover state and local politics, as part of the DemConvention State Blogger Corps.  More than 400 blogs applied for the program.  And they’re incredible.  Some blogs are the work of dedicated groups of activists, a few are full-time professional endeavors, and many others are the products of busy individuals blogging about local politics in their free time.  Those selected to be part of our State Blogger Corps were announced today.  And in every case, these bloggers have become experts on the political happenings in their states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ll see a list below of the 55 blogs that will comprise the State Blogger Corps.  They’ll be seated with their respective delegations at the Convention.  These bloggers will have some of the best seats in the house and they’ll be the eyes and ears of local audiences online around the country.  DNC Chairman Howard Dean recorded a message to introduce the program �&quot; so I’ll let him explain the rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is one of your favorite blogs missing from the list?  We had hundreds of great applicants and only a few spots.  The Convention staff will work hard to be sure bloggers can cover the Convention from Denver or wherever they may be - with unprecedented access.  And wait a few weeks.  We’ll soon announce the Convention’s General Blogger Pool, an additional list of diverse blogs covering national politics, niche issues, and more state and local topics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congratulations to each blog selected for the State Blogger Corps.  I’ll see you in Denver!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DemConvention State Blogger Corps is listed below.&lt;br /&gt;

            <description>Hillary&#039;s Remarks at Charleston, WV Celebration Event&lt;br /&gt;
May 13, 2008&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/speech/view/?id=7692&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, West Virginia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You know, like the song says: &quot;it&#039;s almost heaven,&quot; and I am so grateful for this overwhelming vote of confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are some who have wanted to cut this race short. They say &quot;give up, it&#039;s too hard, the mountain is too high,&quot; but here in West Virginia, you know a thing or two about rough roads to the top of the mountain. We know from the Bible that faith can move mountains and, my friends, the faith of the Mountain State has moved me. I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign until everyone has had a chance to make their voices heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to commend Senator Obama and his supporters. This continues to be a hard-fought race, from one end of our country to the other. And yes, we&#039;ve had a few dust-ups along the way, but our commitment to bring America new leadership that will renew America’s promise means that we have always stood together on what is most important.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, tonight I need your help to continue this journey. We are in the homestretch. There are only three weeks left in the final contests, and your support can make the difference between winning and losing. So I hope you&#039;ll go to HillaryClinton.com [ http://HillaryClinton.com ] and support our campaign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ve heard this before - there are many who wanted to declare a nominee before the ballots were counted or even cast. Some said our campaign was over after Iowa, but then we won New Hampshire. Then we had big victories on Super Tuesday and in Ohio and Texas and Pennsylvania, and of course, we came from behind to win in Indiana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, this race isn&#039;t over yet. Neither of us has the total delegates it takes to win and both Senator Obama and I believe that the delegates from Florida and Michigan should be seated. I believe we should honor the votes cast by 2.3 million people in those states and seat all of their delegates. Under the rules of our party, when you include all 50 states, the number of delegates needed to win is 2,209, and neither of us has reached that threshold yet. This win in West Virginia will help me move even closer.</description>

            <title>Consequences</title>
            <description>There exists a fine delineation between the citadels of the totalitarian economic society and the remaining insignificant external community. Within the business citadels those who hold positions of power through their exquisite ability to adhere to the precepts of a morally corrupt environment expect that all their actions regardless of how sinister are shielded behind the impenetrable walls of their &#039;free market&#039;. They hold this false illusion that any act may be committed against their fellow citizens once they&#039;ve crossed the demarcation line from their community into the domain of the all powerful business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actions have consequences - they may not be apparent within a reasonable period of time but answerable once the rumblings of change have subsided. When clarity has once again replaced the tumult of evil - justice will arise from the ashes of distortion and reclaim its rightful place among the people. Those citizens that have chosen to disregard the basic decency, equity, and respect of their fellow citizens by engaging themselves in activities such as outsourcing, the hiring of foreign H1-B or L-1 workers, commodity speculation, or any action that was taken to benefit the few at the expense of the many will face consequences for their actions. The memory of a people that have felt the unrelenting &#039;kick of a shoe&#039; by those who would disregard the most basic moral decency towards their fellow citizens is crystal clear across any expanse of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though the surrogates of business within the totalitarian economic society daily cross into their castle walls unobstructed by actions that they take against their fellow citizens within, they still must cross over the moat back into their communities. Communities that are experiencing the trauma of the furtherance of their greed induced gospel of &#039;free trade&#039;. Family&#039;s lives are being disrupted beyond repair and communities torn asunder under the tyrant&#039;s pull of injustice - these are effects of the actions taken by the few against the dreams of the many. Step out into the fresh air of your community but be warned that those who&#039;ve been affected by your callous disregard for your fellow citizen will consider you a traitor and clearly mark the day in the future when you&#039;ll be answerable for your corrupt actions taken through your philosophy of greed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watch carefully your every step within your community because there will be no escape from the eyes of those who still wear their citizenship proudly unsoiled by actions in support of a totalitarian economic society. For they will make your existence a nightmare equivalent to the nightmare you exposed them to within your hallowed walls of corruption and greed. No longer will the surrogates of business who&#039;ve railroaded their fellow citizens into poverty find solace or peace within their communities. How convenient, comfortable, and quiet their lives have been in the past - they could retire daily to their communities after terminating hundreds or thousands of their fellow citizens only to replace them with foreigners willing to work for practically nothing. Or possibly they just closed an entire office or factory terminating thousands of citizens only to open the office again in another country with a lower wage rate. It&#039;s interesting to watch the smug callous secure strutting of these drones of business within the confines of their castles - nothing will dissuade them from the pillage of their fellow citizens because their souls are already black with evil. The transformation of their attitude into one of insecurity, watchfulness, and worry will be quite refreshing once they&#039;ve realized that their will be consequences for their heartless revelry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An awakening of realization is coursing across all the citizens of our nation. We&#039;re rising from a long torpor that was induced by a continual stream of &#039;free market&#039; propaganda meant to subdue us to the point of inaction. With this realization and awakening we&#039;re acutely aware of our responsibly to our country and children - we will remember and act. Nothing should or will transcend our rights to life, liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness - absolutely nothing!</description>

            <title>82 Percent Say U.S. on &quot;Wrong Track&quot;</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Democrats.org has a post called &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.democrats.org/a/2008/05/82_percent_say.php&quot;&gt;82 Percent Say U.S. on &quot;Wrong Track&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&quot; that&#039;s worth checking out...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the latest ABC News/Washington Post opinion poll, 82 percent of Americans say the country is on the wrong track as President Bush hit an all-time low in the poll. The poll findings are bad news for the McCain campaign, which is running on a simple platform of four more years of failed Bush policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Road from Destruction</title>
            <description>After our survival was ensured we involved every citizen in the reconstruction of our planet. With the metropolitan areas once again thriving there were many rural areas that still required considerable attention. The wound dug deep across many remote regions was far too extensive to engage our limited resources initially. It was absolutely imperative that we first reconstruct the industrial, technological, and business sectors of our shattered economy in order to achieve a level of full employment of our citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destruction unparalleled with anything we&#039;d ever experienced left many areas charred and desolate beyond recognition. The enemy was expert at a form of cleansing that could only be comprehended visually. Our cities were reconstructed against a cobalt blue sky with steel and titanium reflecting bright recollections of our past - one nation state melded into a community of cooperation. Linking the rural areas into a communication grid was a task that required the marshalling of most of our citizens in the installation of data relay stations in every imaginable desolate dusty location that comprised this arid desert and at times mountainous world. Our reconstituted industries were essential in designing and manufacturing every important and seemingly insignificant component that binds a society together. Without these manufacturing sectors coupled with our rebuilt metropolitan areas we would never have even been able to imagine a bright secure future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Granted it is intellect that courses across the unknown to create the unimaginable but without the hard material that can be formed within a manufacturing facility into something useful you might as well be day dreaming. It was a passionately electric sight to watch our skilled workers operate the various robotic visualization screens that linked directly into the synapses of the actual machines. Machines engaged in the process of recreating a society that operates and engages every single citizen actively in an experience far more exciting and fulfilling than scaling the largest mountain peak. Tied to the respect of the individual who is a recognized integral part of the national community is the belief that through each and every citizen our country shines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assisting those who originally resided in the rural areas (currently living in temporary city dwellings) into returning to new homes was now of primary importance. Once all the mass transit links were brought back on line it became a monumental operation to transport all the equipment and material required to rebuild every home and building that existed prior to the invasion. It must be comprehended that quality polished to a fine hue is the essence of our being and a clear reflection of who we are as a people. Therefore every single element of our society was reconstructed with a care and uncompromising simple elegance. We would never have considered placing our citizens in a home that did not correspond to the respect that we extended every citizen of our beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are a very proud people, proud of our industry that creates the highest quality products, proud of our culture and community but especially proud of each other. Without each and every one of us there is no nation - only a disinterested jumble of individuals fighting and tearing at each others throats. We&#039;ve visited cultures where nothing was reverent but the continual acquisition of wealth by the individual but have typically seen these deviant civilizations extinguish themselves before we were able to even contemplate their existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the very beginning our military was being rebuilt to provide an adequate defensive as well as offensive capability. We have never engaged our military in conflicts were the survival of our people was not the primary motive of engagement - we value our citizens too highly to place them in harms way for mere political expedience. Under the circumstances our survival was in jeopardy therefore we would build a military capable of destroying the entire enemy force.</description>

            <title>Many documented dead in food riots. Al Gore&#039;s contribution? You decide.</title>
            <description>Ya&#039;&#039;at&#039;eeh!&lt;br /&gt;
Done with my school work for the day, now I get down to Buisiness of the real issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some people trade off American lives for oil profits, others are trading lives of humans, for profits in the Bio Fuel Industry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does that make them better since they are not sacrificing American lives for Bio fuel profit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Food is scarce enough in Haiti, Indonesia, Africa Afghanistan, South and Central America. to cause rioting in those countries. Food is expensive enough everywhere, including the U.S., to cause consumers to worry about the future â�&quot; will the prices go even higher for eggs, milk, bread, meat, etc.?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Year over year, the price of rice is up 10 percent, a loaf Press reports indicate that warehouse stores are rationing rice and flour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are being racked up the wall., how will we afford food in the future? Will there be enough food at any price?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will food riots come to your mine and our neighborhood markets?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you live on the wrong side of the tracks, they definitely will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The have&#039;s will not have a worry in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
None of the Have&#039;s do in the latter mentioned countries.&lt;br /&gt;
What is your status Quo in America, a Have or a Have not?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is Al Gore on the level? or is it his excuse to make a little money on the side at the expense of human life?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will Ted Turner&#039;s prophecy of &quot;cannibalism&quot; come true?&lt;br /&gt;
It already happens in some countries.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Did Al Gore take it. It&#039;s an &quot;Inconvenient Truth,&quot; says Al, &quot;that the gasoline that runs our cars is ruining the planet, causing global warming.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Wow! Al is quite the Rock Star.&lt;br /&gt;
He will save Mother Earth, justifying control of the over population in the world. In several countries they already have due to deadly riots. Thousands die everyday due to famine, now Al contributes to starving more people. I guess it is OK, as long as it is not American Citizens for now. Is there the slightest possibility Al Does not know he is contributing to genocide?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder how Al Gore&#039;s Stock portfolio looks?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does he have major investments in Bio Fuel industry corporations?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al Gore is a democrat, but if there is reason to question, let it be. I put human life before partizan loyalty. &lt;br /&gt;
Do you value loyalty to a member of the party over human Life? I do not lose sleep over that question, I know where I stand.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>It is evident that according to Hannity&#039;s America, Barack has to renounce to being Black.</title>
            <description>Hannity is spreading demonic fear of Obama to all America.&lt;br /&gt;
Now it is about the so called Hip Hop Pasture who is of the same mold as Rev. Wright and even much more dangerous because of Barack claiming his new pastor is a wonderful person.&lt;br /&gt;
I know deep down in my heart and soul that this is geered to promote more racial hatred, and people tend to take every word for being truth,  warning of impending danger of America being taken over by supremacist Black bigots of the Maalik Shabaaz, Islam Nation and the Louis Farakan types.&lt;br /&gt;
I pray the Great Spirit Grandfather take control.&lt;br /&gt;
May your God bless you all. &lt;br /&gt;
Please I ask all to maintain civility. Do not fall prey to judgement impairment by non rational hate mongering.&lt;br /&gt;
We must all pray to the creator our land and her people  are enlightened by true wisdom,Freedom and justice must prevail.&lt;br /&gt;
America must prevail as te true light of the Free World..&lt;br /&gt;
T&#039;a&#039;a&#039; iiyisi ahe&#039;hee, nizho&#039;ni&#039;go&#039; nanina.&lt;br /&gt;
Peace to all.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Responsibility under Tyranny</title>
            <description>Bad societies need compliant actors to fulfill their edicts of subjugation under their unyielding callas boots - those who will accept the unquestioning responsibility to follow through with any action regardless of its nature. Culpability crosses across all members of a society that is based upon inequity, greed, and steel rationality at the expense of our humanity. History is replete with examples of citizens mechanically discharging their societal duties under precepts that disguised an unmistakable evil. Refusing to ignore the consequences of our actions only assists in the positive rationalization by the community - if my neighbor impatiently discharges his duties surely it must be right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the National Socialist&#039;s in Germany the populous was merged into an evil system that used propaganda, fear, and division to mold the citizens into compliant resourcefully evil appendages of the state. The citizenry under the Nazi&#039;s was so conditioned by the state that any tyrannical action propagated by the state became a gospel precept not to be deviated from regardless of how inhuman the consequences. A non-questioning citizenry lead to the death of millions of innocent fellow citizens at the hands of a subverted &#039;right&#039; omnipotent point of view instilled by the state - but make no mistake those citizens hands were bloodied. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In our current totalitarian economic society when a doctor refuses to care for a patient that will die without care simply because that fellow citizen doesn&#039;t have adequate health insurance - the doctor is culpable of perpetuating an evil system. When a worker at an insurance company refuses to authorize an operation that could save another citizens life - that worker is culpable of perpetuating an evil system. When a judge rules in favor of a large company when the defendant was unable to attend the trial to defend himself because she didn&#039;t have the thousands of dollars to pay a lawyer - that judge is culpable of perpetuating an evil system. When a police officer evicts a family onto the street because the husband&#039;s job was outsourced overseas and they were unable to pay their mortgage on time - that police officer is culpable of perpetuating an evil system. When a legislator votes in favor of giving millions of dollars to an investment bank but votes against providing mortgage foreclosure assistance to millions of fellow citizens - that legislator is culpable of perpetuating an evil system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When we recognize that what we do is unjust but continue to prop up the unjust as just we are all culpable of perpetuating an evil system. There is no turning back on responsibility for we are all responsible simply for accepting what is unacceptable. None of us can turn our backs towards a brighter future until we put both our hands up in protest and say enough is enough - I will no longer accept the unacceptable. Anytime where in doubt of whether we reside in a just society we should ask ourselves do the actions of the society benefit the majority of society - are they equitable. If the answer to this question is a resounding no we need to begin to extricate ourselves from the sticky illusion of right typically exuded by these corrupt societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A byproduct of our totalitarian economic society is pain, inequity, and submissive compliance by the many under the stiff arm of the economically powerful few. There is nothing equitable about our current society! It is time to disassociate ourselves from such a patently sinister destroyer of humanity.</description>
