  1. Yes, with a built-in clause to allow divorces at 35 when they grow mustaches and become swarthy...

  2. Recently, there was a Congressional hearing on the Internet and pornography. One of the witnesses disagreed with the government interfering with his online site. One of the Congressman replied "Well, we're going to make it our business".

    Baseball, steroids, porn, etc. Our central government is snowballing in its power and scope, and people don't give a damn. When do they start sending "representatives" to our dinner parties?

  3. Yep, this guy has balls. Remember he has also survived 2 US backed coups against his elected government.

    Drug war is just another in a long history of BS excuses for US imperialism in Latin America.

  4. American Government on all levels grows at an average annual rate of 2% per year on average. That annual number has probably been higher since 9/11. Look at the invention of the Homeland Security, complete new department of the Federal Govt created out of thin air with zero input (or outrage) from the citizens it works for, now that's progress! Unbelievable!!

    The US Govt is a powerdrunk bully that cannot be stopped or controlled by it's people, it has passed the point of redemption a long time ago that's leading America down it's slippery slope. :(

    Certain presidents (guess who!!!) know better than to allow America be at the mercy of Communists and Islamists controlling oil supply.

  10. Don't forget North Korea and the problems we had (and fixed) with Afghanistan. But I don't think they produce much oil.
