Is there any doubt now that America has ceased to be a Democratic Republic and is now under the tyrannical rule of Corporations? A corporate Oligarchy if you will; a Corporatracy. Neither the Supreme Court or the Administration, Congress or the Legislature give a **** about the American taxpayers or their welfare. Only the big money lobbyist matter now.

What a sad and pitiful Nation we have become! The prophetic world of George Orwell is now a reality.

WOW...Well, it's like this. You drive a car. you buy gas at BP. They have a spill.
You STOP buying gas at BP? WTF... Really, you are part of the problem and now you're bailing?
To hell with the little guy that owns the franchise?
I don't agree that TAXPAYERS should pay, as I currently ride a BIKE and pay taxes,
but then again I DO ride the CTA (Chicago transit buses and trains)
and the cars I have owned were ridiculous 70's Chevys and Cadilacs,
and probably will again...and I do fly in airplanes...
If you're part of the problem then be part of the solution...

I feel about this like I did when 911 happened, like, I need to move because I'm guilty by association just by living in this country...I had just got back from Europe, thankfully the dollar was still stronger than the new Euro and they didn't hate us QUITE as much as now...not that they are 100% innocent either, but I saw 2 gas stations in two weeks there and most roads in the cities couldn't fit a stupid SUV down them let alone 2 cars at once, and the few cars I did see were TINY, and when they ran into each other on those streets and had to back up they didn't freak out because their automobile is not a penis attachment that they live in with a 15 inch speaker in the back or a DVD system so you don't have to talk to the kids in the 20 minutes it takes to get to the grocery store, it's a necessity because you commute and you got an amazing place for your family that you can't get to by train.

That's why they don't have a drinking age in most of Europe. People aren't as abusive of their commodities and have self-control.
Unless you're rich and have a chauffer and fleets of cars and planes, and then yea, pay up already.
Really, you should be scrubbing ducks with Dawn. Again.

Many support big oil, in their blind vain ideals that the earth is forever. We are parasites, however we can evolve and become something better. Homo sapiens die, so homo novus can take the scene. Novus tend to be intellectuals, concerned for thei global home and focused on the stars and technological innovation.

While homo sapiens are more simple minded, easily consumed by greed. Through out history royal families would "keep it in the family" thus halting any evolutionary process. So the rich and powerful of today, most have had similar genetic histories. So most of tptb are genetically inferior, they do not know what's best for the species, nor the planet, and should be removed from any political power they currently posesss.

It is logical, also novus, tend not to be overwhelmed by their emotions, while sapiens are blinded by theirs.

Like Neanderthals, sapiens had their time in the sun and now it's time for change. Evolution fixes just about everything. When one species starts taking over the species prior to it, either accepts the change or struggles and fights in a vain attempt to stop evolution. Sometimes even destroying their entire world, just to stop the process.

This next hundred years will be just that, do we make our transition into the universe, or do a bunch of emotionally compromised monkeys stop us from doing so? It's a waiting game, and I'm pretty sure novus has already won.

Why would anyone be surprised that a U.S. court rules against the interest of the American people? With the onslaught of rulings for homosexuality. Furthermore in respect to the rulings that the government can constitutionally force Americans to buy a product, the judiciary has proven to be more radical in it's deconstruction of America than al Qaeda could ever hope to be.
