Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

We should all Shut Up??

Bush set sights on Saddam after 9/11 and never looked back. In his march to war, President Bush inadvertently united the people of the world as he pushed for and implemented a war without anyone's permission. Although Bush is not bothered by inconsistencies (or lies ) many of us are. We are bothered that the USA lied about Iraq's weapons. We are bothered that House Budget Resolution Will Slash $9.7 Billion from Veterans Medical Care and $15 Billion from Disability Compensation and Other Benefit Programs. As we set our sights on the World Time Clock, Let's be clear about what this war is, and what it is not.

We have a little matter called the Master Plan (PNAC) which includes Richard Perle's motivation for the article in which he declared Thank God for the death of the UN , and the issue of Insiders Making Billions in the War on Terrorism and headlines such as this: Dollar soars as air bombing of Iraq begins and, Halliburton profits from business in Iran while three of our precision bombs inadvertantly go astray in Western Iran. The US actions in the Middle East spur unexpected 'reforms' inconsistent with US ambitions for the region

We have moral inconsistencies as well. A recent Gallup poll shows that church-going Americans are more likely to support war against Saddam Hussein than are Americans as a whole. while the leadership body of major Churches deplore war in Iraq .

We have major problems with the interpretation of our Constitution by Justice Scalia.

We are moving dangerously close to having a state controlled media.

Senator Biden says, "we should all shut up."
