| Article Title :: Putting a Government in the Sole Hands of the People |
| |
| If a society has become innately socialistic in their leanings is it safe to rest the future of that nation in the hands of the people? Some would say yes, that is what Democracy is. Actually that is what a pure Democracy is. Unfortunately pure democracies turn socialistic and socialism can destroy a once productive nation, as the citizens continue to vote for freebies from their government, until it can no longer keep up.Moving to such socialistic state after the people take back or are given back their government, when in fact the people have hurt the efficiencies of their civilization in the first place; that is to say that the people have caused the current problem can be a hug (read full article) |

| It’s a sad day, when you realize that the country that you love, and the place where you’ve lived all your life is going to hell in a hand basket, and nobody wants to do anything to stop it, are the people in the USA just going to wait for the country that we live in to destroy it’s self from the inside out, and take no action to stop it form happening.Have we really gotten that lazy, when did we all just give up on the most important resource that we have, the United States Of America, our home land, you know, the land of the free and the home of the brave, it’s not the land of the idiot, and the home of the moron, at least not the last time that I looked, but we have beco (read full article) |

| Article Title :: AI: New Government Fails to Address Human Rights |
| |
| On February 16, Amnesty International released a new report about Iran under the new government of Ahmadinejad. In this report Amnesty expresses concerns that the standoff between Iran and the West may distract attention from this country’s human rights abuse record.
"The Iranian government should take concrete steps to improve the human rights situation in the country," said Amnesty International. "The current standoff regarding the country's nuclear program must not distract the government or the international community from addressing the country's long-standing human rights problems."
Before the referral of Iran’s nuclear case to the United Nations Security C (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How the Poor Were Lost |
| |
| When the poor were the majority.The poor in developed countries like the USA and UK are now a minority, though up to maybe the 1950’s or 1960’s they had been a majority.While the poor were a majority their main problems were simply economic poverty and economic exploitation. Government bodies manned by the upper and middle classes understood this sufficiently to be able to handle the poor with some appropriateness, if not always entirely to the poor’s liking. The votes of the poor majority were basically sought with a policy mix of small economic titbits and nationalistic policies.The poor becoming a minority.In the USA by 1950, and the UK by 1960, growin (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cheney Was Right |
| |
| When you shoot someone, you don’t feel good about it. Ask any G.I. who has brought fire on the enemy. Injuring or killing a fellow human being is not a pleasant experience. You can hear their families crying. Hunters feel the same way after shooting someone.When Vice President Cheney shot his good friend he was sorrowful and distressed by the event.The shooting was not part of the Vice President’s official duties. He was on vacation (or a weekend outing) on a private ranch. What happened there is really none of our business.Cheney deserves some privacy even if he is the Vice President. Can you imagine the news story if Vice President Truman had have been the shoot (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Do Christians Have Too Big A Slice Of Pie? |
| |
| Christians obviously make up the majority of people in the U.S. Because of this, our laws are being affected by Christian morals. Should a Christian moral determine our laws just because it’s a Christian moral--and not universal? H.E. double-hockey sticks no!Think about it, everything is being run by Christian-Republicans who are trying to pass laws based on the Bible. We can’t scientifically determine whether abortion is murder, yet those who believe--to them “know”--that it is, get to call the shots.I’m probably going to get scolded for this one. Yeah… but I am very hurt and even somewhat angry about the forcefulness of our nation. More rights are unjustl (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Best Answer To Bad Speech Is More Speech! |
| |
| Throughout history, societies have wrestled with a crucial choice: When we hear a speaker that the state feels is threatening, do we shut him down, squelch him instantly, and if necessary, brutally, or do we allow him to continue, and by doing so run risks of promoting instability and even, revolution?America’s answer has been mixed. Officially, we enjoy freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the Constitution. But this is a right that is not absolute.During wartime, political speech has been curtailed. World War I brought some seminal cases before the U.S. Supreme Court that are still used as authority to restrict what one Justice called, shouting “fire” in a c (read full article) |

| He steps from his polished limousine, secret service agents fanning out around him.Deadeye Dick Cheney.He holds in his hand a gleaming black beauty, a pump action, $12,000 dollar shotgun with a hand engraved stock showing a scene of pheasants in flight.Love me. Kiss my gun.This isn’t just any man’s hobby, like painting a painting. This is life or death. Nearby, a little dust covered quail cowers under a bush, trying to live out the remainder of its miserable short life.Cheney isn’t going to eat the quail. He doesn’t depend on the quail for food. He doesn’t like quail and besides, who wants to crunch down on a shot pellet and possibly ruin their (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Will Free Trade Really Bring Democratic Reform to Emerging Nations? |
| |
| One major push we see in the United States is to help third world nations and emerging nation states help them selves, by bring trade to their lands. This indeed helps in many ways, as it brings in money to upgrade the nation by rewarding hard work and productivity. Another great thing is that when done correctly it can bring about Democratic reform and introduce Democracy to the nation state.Many have of course been critical of this, especially the Global One-World Conspiracy Theorist. They say things like; “The problem is that Government thinking that free trade will bring around Democratic Reform!”This is true in that free trade in of itself, without any other follow (read full article) |
