The e-mail showed up in my inbox, a greeting from one of the forums I participate in. urging me to join in the fun and come celebrate Cinco de Mayo with them.Argumentative type that I am, I had to respond with the observation that I have no reason whatsoever to celebrate a victory by one foreign army over another foreign army in a battle fought on foreign soil in a war which the battle's victor wound up losing. I'll admire the victorious army of...more
Executive Summary - First we have a video of a soccer game, not in USA. A guy runs across the field. Ok so they should take him into custody, throw him out of stadium, bar him from returning or maybe write him a citation for this event. What the security forces did was tackle him and then when he was pinned down they started to hit him in the head with their clubs. Watch the one on his right nearest the head. The fans ran out of the stands and...more
Hitler used to have riots started by having members of the GESTAPO infiltrate groups that were opposed to the NAZI regime, the GESTAPO was the political police force of the NAZIs. They would dress as civilians, and entice others to attack the NAZI soldiers or hurl insults. The GESTAPO did this to weed out who in the groups, were the leaders against the NAZI regime. Once the suspects were eyed, signals were given to the NAZI soldiers who would have them separated from the groups, hauled away and executed. This practice still continues today, only instead of NAZI soldiers and the Gestapo, it's being done by police officers.Have there been cases proven where the police have abused their authority ? On March 3, 1991, Rodney King and two passengers were driving west on the Foothill Freeway and were apprehended by four members of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) after a high speed pursuit. King was tackled, tasered, and heavily beaten with clubs, by the officers, all of which was videotaped by George Holliday.A Maryland restaurant employee and his friend were taking a break outside the restaurant, when a police officer approached them. The officer questioned the men and asked one...more
I think that the government is maybe to important to not let it go bankrupt. I feel that the consequences for letting this happen are far better than the consequences of doing anything else. I also think this might be true for any other situation. As citizens, it is our duty to inform our elected officials what we think they should do; And, only...more
As painful as it is for me to say this, it must be said; Osama Bin Laden has won his war with America.Bin Laden's attack on the United States on September 11, 2001 achieved all that it set out to do and much, much more. Whether Bin Laden lives or dies now, he has achieved victory. He has survived unscathed despite efforts to kill him (I can't say...more
The War on Terror coming to an end, it is time for our soldiers to return to their home according to the Iraq De-Escalation Act. Some of these returning soldiers would also be wounded and in need of a lot of support and understanding. Indeed so many of our soldiers have been fighting this battle at Iraq for so many days and so many have lost their lives that it saddens our heart thinking of their predicament. The worst part is that there are many soldiers who do not even have a home to return to or a loving family who would greet them with their open arms. Even those who have a family and a home to return to are also afraid thinking about their injuries and the chances of finding any alternative employment when they get well. Apart from these there are many other complications that a soldier may have to face when they enter into a civil life.Being sympathetic to the cause of the war veterans David H Brooks has founded a non-profit organization after his own name which welcomes and embraces the soldiers returning from battlefield. This organization lends an unflinching support towards these heroic people and makes them feel wanted. Indeed this is something which is the most...more
People make the right decisions far more often than the government ever has, does, or will. I think that the best form of government is one that encourages, facilitate, and empower the individual citizen to make their own individual choices on how to...more
