I guess you guys are seeing it on the news, but most families here are scared and angry and I am not just talking about AA families. The common enemy of Al Qaeda is fading fast.

I would even dispute our intellect. I voted for Bush's first term. And I regret that vote. I did vote for Kerry, though I thought he was a pitiful candidate.
Well anyway, I wouldn't say Americans never learn, even if the majority are stupid. Barack has a good chance Safety. Everything I hear from my Washington friends says so.

Activists Angered By Blame For Crisis
By Darryl Fears and Carol D. Leonnig
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, October 3, 2008; Page A15
The head of the National Urban League is calling on Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. to refute statements by conservative politicians and pundits that subprime mortgages provided to minorities led to the financial crisis and a $700 billion federal rescue of Wall Street.
In a strongly worded letter to Paulson this week, Marc H. Morial said Paulson has "an obligation to correct the misinformation that is spread concerning the root cause of the current financial crisis."
Morial, a former mayor of New Orleans, said in an interview yesterday that the effort "to pin the subprime crisis on African Americans and Latinos" is a "big lie."
"It's an effort to shift the climate away from deregulation and the lack of oversight," he said. "The numbers are becoming clearer each day that a large number of people who ended up with a subprime loan could have qualified for a prime loan. That's the abuse that's inherent here."
Morial said he has not heard from Paulson. A spokeswoman at the Treasury Department was forwarded an electronic copy of the letter but did not respond.
On the House floor, on cable network television and in Internet blogs in recent days, conservative politicians and commentators have traced the problem to the Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, enacted in 1977 to extend loans to minorities who were historically denied homeownership.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) lashed out against the act, reading from an from Investor's Business Daily article that said banks made loans "on the basis of race and little else." Neil Cavuto, a business news anchor on Fox News, recently made a similar statement. In an exchange on television with Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), Cavuto noted that the congressman pushed for more minority lending to "folks who heretofore couldn't get mortgages" and asked, "Are you totally without culpability here? Are you totally blameless?"

Debate rages over blocks that can be snapped together to build prisons anywhere, at any time
Thursday, Sept 25 2008
Pictures of concrete prison cells being unloaded from wagons in Utah earlier this month have surfaced on the internet, causing a storm of debate over their purpose.
The cells are designed specifically so they can be snapped together side by side and on top of each other like lego blocks to form rows and columns.
Each block looks to contain 2 cells of little more than six feet square each.
The pictures first appeared earlier this week on the alternative news website Fourwinds10.com.
According to the owners of that website, the pictures were taken on Monday, September 8 2008 at around 3 PM at University Ave, East Bay, Provo in Utah.
Since that time they have spread to various forums and websites, sparking off a lively debate as to who these cells are for and in what circumstances their use is envisioned.
Those suspecting a sinister use for the cells have described them as “portable prisons” and argued that they may be being readied to deal with mass civil unrest in America.
The surfacing of the pictures dovetails with news that U.S. troops returning from duty in Iraq will be carrying out homeland patrols in America from October 1st in complete violation of Posse Comitatus for the purposes of helping with “civil unrest and crowd control”.
Others have also linked the discovery of the cells to a similar story of hundreds of thousands of plastic coffins recently uncovered in Georgia.
The less conspiracy minded have asserted that the precast concrete facilities have been in production since the 1980s and represent what is known as “modular construction”, which is also used sometimes to build hotels and other permanent structures.
“They integrate everything at the factory (lighting/plumbing/security hardware) and ship it directly to where ever the prison/jail/correctional facility/internment camp is at. Lift cells up, drop in place, splice a few wires and pipes, and voila! Instant prison.” writes one commenter on reddit.
What is not up for debate however is that the United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but it now has almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners.
According to the prison studies center, the US has 751 people in prison or jail for every 100,000 in population. That means that if you count only adults, one in 100 Americans is locked up. Those figures dwarf any other nation, including China which is four times more populous than the US.
However, from these pictures it is apparent that there still aren’t enough cells, and more cheap and quick prisons are being built with taxpayer dollars.
Another fact not up for debate is that there is a coordinated federal government program to build civilian detention camps at undisclosed locations throughout the United States, in conjunction with the Army and the Pentagon.
There is no debate over the fact that the prison industry in the “land of the free” is out of control.

It's Black Americans fault that the White morons didn't make accounting mandatory in the schools for all of the White kids 30 or 40 years ago.
It's Black Americans fault that the White moron economists haven't been telling the White people how much they have been losing on useless variations in crapmobiles for the last 40 years. Put men on the moon but get excited about useless variations in machines that roll along the ground at less than 130 mph.
That is INTELLIGENT!
The bankers wouldn't want a society where almost everyone had their mortgages payed off. The employers would not want it either. The system works on economic servitude, so mandatory accounting contradicts what they really want. It is NAZInomics.
GDP = BS

Start stocking up on food and water. Trust and believe that the crooks and thieves who have been bailed out (because it damn sure wasn't us regular folk who got bailed out) are getting themselves ready. And if you don't already know, the Dow Jones dipped under 9,000 points this past Friday.

Ron Paul is an interesting candidate. I have followed some of his positions on the Iraq War and prosecution of drug crimes in America. Can you share a bit of his economic agenda?

Paul criticizes the system at a fundamental level thereby guaranteeing he won't get elected.
The media will see that he is minimized as much as possible.
The curious thing is that the internet has become a new factor in the system.
