I must say that I'm rather speptical about the threat of Bird Flu and the promotion of the vaccine Tamiflu once I found out about how much Donald Rumsfeld has invested in the company and his links to the company.

Interesting Britain is currently going through a lot of similar changes.

We are in a bad way because of who we are inside and what we do or don't even know we believe in.

God help us to remember to stand up for what is right and wrong and give us the courage to shout it from our own very rooftops... Before it is too late to save us. It all starts with you.... each of you. I know this sounds so simplified and like nothing to do with all of this but IMO it is the core of this . It is how we got here and why we are not able to snap out of it.

Two more things to point out briefly... We have a President that can't keep his dick in his pants long enough to protect the reputation of a nation during his term and then bold faced lies about it and we do nothing. What did that teach our youth about right and wrong? It taught them that they can get away with anything as long as you know the right people or can reason it away. Not standing up and punishing the wrong doers.
Nice post! I totally agree

Surely the dollar can only slide so far before every country in the world has to change their reserve currency to some other currency (of more value) IF that was to take place then I'd say that would be the final straw.
