  Posted by okami from Spacewar
  Frequently in the history of military and security issues the public and policymakers take for granted the conventional wisdom of the day. That is, until it is proven false.

  Posted by okami from Spacewar
  To try and better understand the Middle East, it helps to take in a broader perspective of the situation -- to step back and examine the problem with some distance.

- The Dumbing Of America
  Posted by okami from Washington Post
  "The mind of this country, taught to aim at low objects, eats upon itself." Ralph Waldo Emerson offered that observation in 1837, but his words echo with painful prescience in today's very different United States. Americans are in serious intellectual trouble -- in danger of losing our hard-won cultural capital to a virulent mixture of anti-intellectualism, anti-rationalism and low expectations.

- The R-word: how hard a landing?
  Posted by SoxFirst
  With a US recession looming, the question is how bad is it going to get? The economists are debating it with some saying it will be short, sharp and shallow and others saying it will be long, drawn out and more painful than previous downturns.

- Presidential candidates' subprime solutions
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Should there be a tax break for subprime victims? How about a freeze on interest rates? The candidates for the US presidential elections are coming up with different solutions to the problem.

- No greenbacks at the Taj Mahal
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The US dollar has fallen so low that in India, the Ministry of Culture has begun telling tourists visiting the country's popular sites, including the Taj Mahal, to pay the entrance fees in rupees rather than in dollars.

Illegal Immigration Spurs Constitutional Amendment - Associated Content

An art. V was tried in Sept. of 2004, and s.c.o.t.u.s. ruled it was ok for the congress to not allow it…so, the entire Congress was sued, and hired the Govt. to defend them..they again lost.
However, it has now proved to be a criminal act ,in that they had basically admitted to it by defending themselves…...
It appears now that there are a few new approaches to the Art. V , but not to many Attny’s are willing to stick their necks out fighting our own CROOKED govt.
please read the article on WALKER vs theU.S….probably find it in google….

US business in the dark on climate change

I’m sure Canadian businesses aren’t far behind, though there’s an imbalance in the average created almost exclusively by the corporations making their living off exploiting the northern Alberta (Athabasca) Oil Sands – with virtually zero consideration for even the local biosphere or environment.

For me, I will never forget his hateful comments about gays bringing on 9-11. This is pure hatred.
