I wrote up a proposal for an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which clarifies original intent by the founding fathers (which I believe a great deal of my suggestions would be considered well within reason.) and the Principles set forth in the Constitution that we've been so conveniently disregarding.
hopefully the copy paste function works pretty well.

American Hero's seem to be few and far between these days, and the lack of understanding of the U.S. Constitution by the majority of Americans is truly significant of a sad day in what once made our Country of Liberty truly grand.
Jury Nullification is a term used to describe one extremely important radical in our version of a Justice system. The U.S. Constitution as it was written and later ratified by the people of the individual states making up two-thirds of the members established several checks and balances. This is why we have Jury Duty. And it was expected that each juror would determine guilt as well as applicability of the laws.
So when a juror asked a Judge whether or not there had been an addition to the U.S. Constitution that allows the federal government to prosecute prohibition, it wasn't long before he was removed from the Jury, and a guilty verdict followed shortly after.

It is said that the laws of the Union are to be the SUPREME LAW of the land. But what conclusion can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme?
It is evident they would amount to nothing. A LAW, by the very meaning of the term, includes supremacy. It is a rule which those to whom it is prescribed are bound to observe. This results from every political association.
If individuals enter into a state of society, the laws of that society must be the supreme regulator of their conduct. If a number of political societies enter into a larger political society, the laws which the latter may enact, pursuant to the powers entrusted to it by its constitution, must necessarily be supreme over those societies, and the individuals of whom they are composed. It would otherwise be a mere treaty, dependent on the good faith of the parties, and not a government, which is only another word for POLITICAL POWER AND SUPREMACY.
But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the large society which are NOT PURSUANT to its constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such. Hence we perceive that the clause which declares the supremacy of the laws of the Union only declares a truth, which flows immediately and necessarily from the institution of a federal government.
It will not, I presume, have escaped observation, that it EXPRESSLY confines this supremacy to laws made PURSUANT TO THE CONSTITUTION; which I mention merely as an instance of caution in the convention; since that limitation would have been to be understood, though it had not been expressed.

You can see the activity in the medians of the interstate expressways the energy is palpable. The elevated structure that will carry the bullet trains traveling in excess of 350 miles per hour is visible while driving down any expressway of the country. There is a feeling of participation exuded by my fellow citizens as if they understand the significance of their being present at this momentous period in our country's transformation. Across the fields in places like Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas large wind turbines, solar collectors, and other innovative structures utilizing a multitude of technologies are being constructed to provide the much needed power for our nation.
Everyone is talking about the activity with an air of anticipation. The undertaking is one of pride that all Americans acknowledge the significance and urgency in completing. We may have been late to act to secure our country's future in a world of uncertain energy supplies but have expended the money and energy that typifies the unique strength of our citizens when faced with a Herculean effort.
It was only a year ago that most of us felt that once again nothing would be accomplished given all the divergent business interests that were vying to derail any initiative that would disrupted the preferred societal stasis. For it was through this static regressive state that the business elite were able to most effectively maintain their control over our society. Why should they consent to changing a totalitarian economic system that had benefited them enormously? What transpired was truly miraculous one by one citizen's starting standing up demanding that the yoke of business be removed from their government. Even governmental representatives who had been the stewards of business interests for years started moving from the shadows into a new light of realization that their country's economic survival was more important than any single business. We could have either continued down the same worn paths of acceptance of our business handler's dictates or rise above the sludge and build a better tomorrow for our nation - together. It was the latter decision that was ultimately chosen.
A patriotic pride has enveloped our nation from the most remote to the most populous regions. It is impossible not to understand how important the completion of all these efforts is, given the continual pressure that is being placed upon our environment by a nation whose expansiveness demands burning unimaginable amounts of fossil fuels just in a daily commute. Not to mention the continual rise in a barrel of oil that has been accelerating of late given OPEC's understanding that once our green industries, and cross-country mass transit systems fully come 'on line' our consumption of oil will drop precipitously.
In some parts of the country our citizens are already enjoying their commutes on bullet trains after parking their cars at their local station. Fully realizing that they'd better become acclimated to this form of travel given that the Emergency Oil Corporation will cease to exist after the completion of the entire transport system and 75% of the green industries are operational - rider ship has increased exponentially over the past few months. For a fee that is a fraction of what we pay for gasoline even at a retail rate with no profit included it represents a significant savings in money not to mention the time saved by not having to sit in traffic during a daily commute. Some people have even begun using the monorails (for they do resemble something you'd see at Disney) for travel during their vacations. With expansive luggage compartments underneath the passenger section most people find that their still able to take between 2 -3 suitcases on a trip for 1/10 of the cost of a plane ride.
Newly formed public utilities are beginning to supply power to homes and business at rates reminiscent of the 1950's generated through renewable energy sources. These public utilities (that are essentially electric cooperatives) are supplanting the private electric companies that for years had been raising rates beyond the means of our citizen's ability to pay.
The benefits are to numerous to quantify - every sector of our nation's economy has been benefiting through the foresight of a few visionaries willing to stand up and push back the selfish business elites in an effort to once again allow our country to travel down the road of prosperity. The only difference this time is the road of our memory where millions upon millions of vehicles burning fossil fuels each competing for space has now become a swift moving steel monorail blazing down the center of a highway.
There is once again talk about the future not in the despair reminiscent of yesterday but the promise of tomorrow - for both our government and economy is finally free to move towards new horizons. We are united under one nation of citizens within one country that we all call home - what a beautiful home.

An awakened aggressive nation of citizens has been voting with passion expending their emotion in a torrid of energy that will eventually crest over the parapets of a government embalmed by a cadre of lobbyists. What our citizens are desperately seeking is a leader that will cross the boundary of obscene doctrinaire generalizations into a clear valley of dreams.
Envision our nation not in disconnected segments but coalesced into a future without preconceived barriers. The only barriers that exist are those that are conceptual self imposed granite walls gouged by bloodied fingers attempting to scale an illusion. We must allow our vision free rein realizing that the walls of impossibility don't exist but were constructed within our minds through well placed preconceptions. Allow your thoughts the freedom to wonder across the valley of dreams.
A leader requires the ability to envision something when nothing is present. A cold stark emptiness devoid of hope or cause filled in by a gentle breeze of the possible. Clearly envision what is possible without logic or preconceptions crowding out your creativity - block out every distraction. We will, we can, we'll be able to accomplish anything - there is nothing that is insurmountable when a nation of citizens resolves to transcend from mediocrity to greatness.
Be that leader - Senator Obama - for we have seen sparks of greatness. Now is the time to present your unencumbered vision, plans, and actions that will result in our nation achieving the unimaginable.

A government isn't supposed to tell its citizenry what to expect given certain precepts or inalienable truths never once questioned to determine their validity. Governments have one function that overrides all others, to answer to the will of the people. Whether in a direct fashion as in a democracy or an indirect way through a responsible monarchy that perceives the general tenor of their subjects - the foundation of all good governments rests upon a respect for the citizens that they govern.
When a government disrespects its citizens by engaging in activities or passing legislation that benefits a small select block of citizens to the exclusion of the majority that their supposed to represent - the citizens have every right to dissolve this form of illusory representation. Once corrupted through the melding of the interests of the government representatives with those of the pirates seeking to cannibalize the interests of the general citizenry into their exclusive domain - all is usually lost. It then becomes far too difficult to differentiate the representative from the pirate that has initiated the capture of legislative expectation that once was the exclusive purview of the people.
In their communications with the general citizenry the representatives increasingly disrespect those whom their charged with governing. With the representatives conveying beliefs encased as facts in ever more potent condescending tones the citizens of a nation begin to acquire a subservient posture. Juxtaposed against the patriarchal airs of their representatives the cast is formed and is hardened around the citizens becoming an impervious belief in their own idiocy on a multitude of matters of the state. Once this process is initiated it can be used to silence all dissent by pointing out the ignorance of the former constituents on any matter and contrasting it to the impervious infallibility of their governmental representative benefactors.
Never mind that the supposed infallibility of judgment of the representatives is slanted towards the benefits that they extract through their direct connection with lobbyists that are hooked into business elites. The illusory representation of facts and logic conveyed by the representatives becomes more and more biased towards a belief system espoused by their business elite controllers.
Beware of any law of nature that is just a weak exponent of a human mind that was more interested in perpetuating theory than fact. When the gospel of 'The Free Market' is pandered to those of us who represent the general citizenry of this nation - our ears should perk up in anticipation in receiving an audible justification why tyrants have supplanted our government in our own best interests. It is always in the best interest of the citizenry that tyrants legitimize their rule of tyranny.
The only interest that represents the best interest of the citizens of a nation is those actions by their government that better their lives - not adhere to unchallengeable precepts. We are the government, economy, and for that matter anything that we've conceived those vassals of society to represent - any one of them can be changed for they are not static. Evolution is a constant of nature - change will occur over time. The question now is whether it is change that we desire or change that will enslave us under the power of a few tyrants.

One of the central benefits obtained through the nationalization of the oil companies will be the immediate redirection of all accumulated profits towards finding renewable sources of energy to replace oil, the construction of an affordable cross country mass transit system, investment in green industries, and the complete elimination of the profit margin in the retail price of gasoline & diesel.
The oil industry under its current umbrella of subsidies and corporate structural benefits within the totalitarian economic society has absolutely no incentive to invest in alternative forms of energy given the huge profit margins that they've been able to make on retail gasoline & diesel. Proof of this is abundantly evident in the fact that only 1% of all gasoline pumps within the United States are currently E85 ethanol while the remaining 99% are still dispensing fossil fuel based petroleum products. Granted, their have been many concerns of late that ethanol production that uses food crops such as corn are negatively impacting the available supply of food on a global basis but this issue aside why haven't the oil companies made available more 85% ethanol pumps? The reason is simple why should they stop their successful pillage of wealth from the American citizens when nothing is inhibiting them from discontinuing this behavior.
While our country faces an imminent economic collapse perpetuated by over zealous speculation within the energy & commodity markets, excessive profit margin increases at the retail level for petroleum products, a significant reduction in consumer consumption spending stemming from negative wage growth within the past few years, and a continuing downward pressure on wages due to labor arbitrage no meaningful action has been taken by our government of the business elites for the business elites.
Since it is not rational to expect the oil companies to immediately start investing their profits on a massive scale within green industries that would effectively have the effect of significantly reducing the plausibility of their propaganda campaign aimed at maintaining these very same profits - the government of the citizens of this great nation should promptly nationalize all the oil companies.
Once nationalized all retail prices should immediately be reduced by the excessive and artificial profit margins that are currently built into the price of petroleum products. This would have the effect of stabilizing this most important energy source until such time as new renewable forms of energy could be successfully brought to market. In combination with this, a program of building an affordable (for all our citizens) cross country mass transit system of bullet trains linking every city within the United States should commence utilizing a proportion of these acquired profits. This would lay an infrastructure of transportation for the 21st century that would eventually replace our outmoded highly inefficient highway system that is geared more towards a resource abundant past and not a resource constrained future.
In addition to the above outlined steps our nation should use the balance of the profits extracted through the nationalization of the oil industry to invest in the green industries that will provide the jobs of the future. These new industries should design, manufacture, and market products globally of the highest quality in order to set our nation apart through a distinct competitive advantage. We must undertake this initiative without delay and invest heavily in order to insure that our nation has a predominate position in these industries that will be central to our future prosperity.
Granted none of this can be accomplished under the current totalitarian economic society that we find ourselves immersed in - we will first have to take back our government from the business elites and their lobbyist stooges. Once we have accomplished this within the first half of next year everything outlined within this article should be instituted forthright so that we may stop the downward spiral of economic calamity that is currently upon us - there is no time to lose. We must get our citizens back to work ensuring that each and everyone who wishes to work will have a job with a decent wage. With the enactment of the steps outlined within this paper we'll begin to arrest the current extreme inequality of income that is the 'killing fields' of our future economic stability. Time is short but our resolve should be endless - let's grasp our country before it falls into an abyss of instability and global irrelevance.

High priced gasoline and diesel with 60 - 80% increases over a span of a few months has been generated by global market speculators providing an illusory justification used by the oil companies in their astronomical rise in retail prices. Through their daily bidding up of the cost per barrel of oil from around $50 dollars per barrel in late 2003 to above $127 dollars per barrel on May 16, 2008 global market speculators are contributing to a well orchestrated market manipulation originating first with OPEC's refusal to increase production quotas. With substantial oil reserves still available across the globe these business elites are engaging in an activity that they know all to well - inventing further contrivances to append to the already distorted totalitarian free market society in order to extract the maximum wealth from those lest able to afford their pillage.
With each increase in the cost per barrel of oil the media 'parrots' of the totalitarian market society echo their scripted concern on queue, this en mass media sludge flows across the nation in a wave of propaganda. Almost immediately we the citizens are confronted with yet another increase in the price per gallon in gasoline and diesel. The oil industry blithely dismisses these increases as a direct result of market forces (those same forces that their conveniently engaged in shaping) that are being stimulated in a skyward direction due to limited supply which is driving the underlying cost per barrel higher. How quickly we forget the record profits that these same oil companies have been piling up over the past few months - profits that have exceeded any made by any company in history - billions upon billions of dollars.
Also, disregard the fact that the oil industry hasn't invested in new refineries since the 1970's thus constraining the supply further - is it at all inconceivable that if you constrain the supply of something that it's price will go up when demand increases. With the introduction of India and China into the community of developing nations global demand for petroleum has skyrocketed with populations that when combined represent the largest proportion of human beings living anywhere driving more and more cars, and requiring ever more electricity to power their homes and factories. So with the supply being constrained due to limited global refining capacity and demand that is increasing almost exponentially, market speculators bidding the price up daily on a barrel of crude oil, and the oil companies using this as a justification for raising their retail prices way beyond any market related factors is it any wonder we are having to make an investment every time we stop to fill up our vehicles.
Now steps in the oil producers and particularly the largest oil producer in the world - Saudi Arabia. Why not keep the pillage parties of these business elites riding across all the nation-state citizens grasping at every wallet or purse in sight galloping along at full speed? If production quotas enacted by the cartel of thieves that call themselves OPEC is maintained at a minimum the global supply can be further constrained but instead of at the point when the oil is transformed into gasoline in this case directly at the source - the wells.
So what's been contrived by the oil producers, oil refiners & companies, market speculators, the entire cadre of business elites including government lobbyists, and the media through their propaganda blitz is an absolute marvel of finessed manipulation of the totalitarian free market economic society with the effect of bringing about the 'perfect storm' of income pillage of the global citizenry.
It's time to put an immediate stop to this hideous greed - we must nationalize all the oil companies within our nation. The egregious profits that they've been accumulating on the backs of citizens just attempting to live their lives in a quiet peaceful and pleasant manner is utterly indefensible. Once nationalized these profits should benefit a nation and planet on the point of ecological peril by investing in the new green industries that will provide jobs for us and a future for our children. Let the United States once again represent the promise of a brighter tomorrow - everything is in our hands - we the citizens that once again will be represented.

Time clicking, click, click, slipping past each second moving incrementally towards a minute then an hour after an eternity of drifting through innumerable minutes. One day at a time we drift across towards the close of another week. Month after month succumbs to a year and then many more years evaporate under the passage of our lives drifting imperceptibly within the steady decline of our great nation. Where not to be blamed for not noticing the cracks, worn paint, crumbling roads, graffiti filled concrete, and shabbily clothed hardened souls that form a gray backdrop to cities who've had their empathy vaporized under a beam of evil within the totalitarian economic society. Stark contrasts are only recognizable when contrasting a beginning with an ending.
Look around you, do you see it, do you feel it, its the faint pulse of a country slowing ever so audible one injustice, decline, old car, crumbling home, crime infested neighborhood, and sad citizen moving across a tapestry of selfishness inflicted by an evil concerned with nothing but power and one extra dollar.
Once a brilliant nation expanding the horizons of the possible with journeys to the moon and passion infused dreams of a future uninhibited by barriers - now a static greed infested corrupt capsule of a constricted vacant staring money machine that grinds endlessly. Nothing is left but the worship of our sacred ruby encrusted holy book of 'The Free Market' which instructs every one of us in the proper actions within the well orchestrated money society constructed by the business elites. Crumbing infrastructure, dreams, souls, or any other fluid of existence is acceptable given the cost that must be controlled per one of the most sacred commandments within this holiest of written works committed to memory by our Economic pastors. If you believe in a deviant form of equity, justice, community of citizens, and dreams - your sacrilege will not be tolerated by the Order of the Republican Party. You'll be punished for your sacrilegious acts against the one truth that all must live by - greed. Immediately, cleanse your minds of those deviant recollections of a nation before everything became something to be calculated within a spreadsheet of profit and loss.
Do you see it, some form is becoming clearer, is it a past with crisp clean lines, uncluttered by inhibitions in thought or destitute of spirit? We've transcended from a people of purpose to a rock solid still quiet subservient benign unquestioning inhibited mass under the direct control of a government infected by a contagion of evil. The few business elites having vanquished our beliefs are now in the process of eliminating the exercise of our free thoughts.
...An Unwelcome Future...
Click, click, click, the transgress of our time is moving from the present to a terrible future - it was one that they could have prevented. Did they even attempt to stop the continued harassment of those attempting to correct a destiny of complete slavery and totalitarian intolerance by comprehending passed the deception?
It must be written that we the people of this moment acted to cut out this totalitarian economic society from our nation and excise those who were most adept at absorbing everything into their swollen hands.
One more imperceptible click, don't you hear another, there must be another, oh no it's quiet - silence. We have reached the end game - nothing remains of the country that we once dreamed through and imagined was blessed to be the beacon of enlightenment.
Action...Stop...Greed...Think...Equity...Citizens...Community...Nation
These were their last thoughts before the chains were welded to the steel.
Look around you, do you see it, do you feel it, its the faint pulse of a country slowing ever so audible one injustice, decline, old car, crumbling home, crime infested neighborhood, and sad citizen moving across a tapestry of selfishness inflicted by an evil concerned with nothing but power and one extra dollar.
Once a brilliant nation expanding the horizons of the possible with journeys to the moon and passion infused dreams of a future uninhibited by barriers - now a static greed infested corrupt capsule of a constricted vacant staring money machine that grinds endlessly. Nothing is left but the worship of our sacred ruby encrusted holy book of 'The Free Market' which instructs every one of us in the proper actions within the well orchestrated money society constructed by the business elites. Crumbing infrastructure, dreams, souls, or any other fluid of existence is acceptable given the cost that must be controlled per one of the most sacred commandments within this holiest of written works committed to memory by our Economic pastors. If you believe in a deviant form of equity, justice, community of citizens, and dreams - your sacrilege will not be tolerated by the Order of the Republican Party. You'll be punished for your sacrilegious acts against the one truth that all must live by - greed. Immediately, cleanse your minds of those deviant recollections of a nation before everything became something to be calculated within a spreadsheet of profit and loss.
Do you see it, some form is becoming clearer, is it a past with crisp clean lines, uncluttered by inhibitions in thought or destitute of spirit? We've transcended from a people of purpose to a rock solid still quiet subservient benign unquestioning inhibited mass under the direct control of a government infected by a contagion of evil. The few business elites having vanquished our beliefs are now in the process of eliminating the exercise of our free thoughts.
...An Unwelcome Future...
Click, click, click, the transgress of our time is moving from the present to a terrible future - it was one that they could have prevented. Did they even attempt to stop the continued harassment of those attempting to correct a destiny of complete slavery and totalitarian intolerance by comprehending passed the deception?
It must be written that we the people of this moment acted to cut out this totalitarian economic society from our nation and excise those who were most adept at absorbing everything into their swollen hands.
One more imperceptible click, don't you hear another, there must be another, oh no it's quiet - silence. We have reached the end game - nothing remains of the country that we once dreamed through and imagined was blessed to be the beacon of enlightenment.
Action...Stop...Greed...Think...Equity...Citizens...Community...Nation
These were their last thoughts before the chains were welded to the steel.
Dirt, grime, sacred cattle defecating on the streets, terrorist strikes aimed at the general population, and disease in their country of choice - we'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'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 'exit door' in mid flight on this journey of destitution they've charted for our nation.
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've been engaged in their latest global pillage of wealth. They'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'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've despoiled beyond recognition - small towns boarded up, torn & 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.
After throwing out these traitorous slugs in our effort to cleanse our nation of those who befouled everything that we once stood for we'll immediately replace the boards and executives of the effected firms with citizens who'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's citizens.
Those businesses that don'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.
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.
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.

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'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'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'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.
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't these creatures realize that he and his friends represented the refined crust of an American society already crumbling with mold? Why weren'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'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.
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'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.
Just yesterday his employees were demanding a raise even though he had informed the miscreants that they'd better 'toe the line' or else more of them would be replaced by those foreign workers he'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'd scaled down his life style. He wasn'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'd give them a raise, he hadn'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'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 'The Free Market' while they cut their financial throats - that always worked wonders on that bunch of intellectually lazy working scum. They'd believe anything the media pumped down their throats - for that matter they'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.

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 'free market'. They hold this false illusion that any act may be committed against their fellow citizens once they've crossed the demarcation line from their community into the domain of the all powerful business.
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 'kick of a shoe' by those who would disregard the most basic moral decency towards their fellow citizens is crystal clear across any expanse of time.
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 'free trade'. Family's lives are being disrupted beyond repair and communities torn asunder under the tyrant'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'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'll be answerable for your corrupt actions taken through your philosophy of greed.
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'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'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've realized that their will be consequences for their heartless revelry.
An awakening of realization is coursing across all the citizens of our nation. We're rising from a long torpor that was induced by a continual stream of 'free market' propaganda meant to subdue us to the point of inaction. With this realization and awakening we'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!

The DNC will vote May 31, 2008 on whether or not the votes of Florida and Michigan will count toward selecting a Democratic nominee. There are many beliefs that individuals have regarding this issue.
What do you think?
I have some basic beliefs that influence my opinion:
1) It is important to allow all citizens votes to count, despite mistakes made by leaders at the state government level.
2) Based on the argument of sheer ethics, it is 'right' to allow votes to count from these states despite mistakes made by the state government. It is not the fault of individuals that state officials goofed up. It would be 'wrong' in my opinion to invalidate over two million American votes that are considered 'swing state votes.'
3) I do understand that there are rules and that rules MUST be followed, however, at what cost? Americans should not be utterly represented by state government when it comes to the basic right to vote as a citizen.
The DNC should make allowances and allow the votes from Michigan and Florida to count. To do otherwise would be horrific despite the 'rules' in place.
I will reveal later in this blog what candidate I support, so please make no assumptions about exactly which candidate I support. You just might be surprised. I simply want the process to be 'fair and unbiased to all Democratic Americans.'
I would love to hear from many of you out there that have arguments on these points. I respect your opinion and I will engage you on the issues. I feel that right now, as of May 2008, our Party is much too divided, and I seek to be a small part in reuniting our party.

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.
Destruction unparalleled with anything we'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.
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.
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.
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'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.
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.
