-Apparently 2005 marks the fifty year mark for Albert Einstein’s death, and the 100 year mark from when he came up with the physical equations of special relativity. So of course this is going to show itself as the year progresses.<\/p>\n
-There was a mock demonstration put on by our congress during the state of the union address. Apparently congress, or more importantly the republican portion of congress, felt it was neccessary to mark certain statements Bush claimed with live-audience feel. This was desribed to me as including but not limited to live gasps of astonishment at our newly found social security dillemma, mild support for recognition of the problem, and overwhelming applause and jubilation for bush’s supposed plan to privatize social security.
\n—-My one and only statement on this front, since i’m in the process of obtaining the footage of the union, is as follows. Does our government really want to change the country’s perception of government to where we really believe they are simply actor’s and stunt doubles? Is this what i am supposed to gather from their little farce? Because if they honestly want me to believe the current understanding of the social security dilemma (which is hotly contested as to it’s urgency) was just brought to their attention on the night of the state of the union i would be left with the only option left and that is abandoning the country in it’s ignorance. Government shouldn’t be a blatant showman’s game. It is not television. They make real decisions. These decisions kill real people, and save real people. Why the fuck do they think they have the right to make such an institution into a farce. I’m done.<\/p>\n
-Apparently Rice (of condelizza fame) has criticized the Iran government. Not to bad except she mentioned two important key points in her statements.
\n–We have no _immediate_ plans of attack against Iran.
\n–We plan on making democracy the norm in the middle eastern area, this applies to all middle eastern countries.
\n—-It is nice of them to qualify their statements with the term immediate. This way they aren’t blatantly lieing to us. I so dislike blatant lies.<\/p>\n
-Our senate is looking into limiting class action lawsuits.
\n—-My question is this, have corporations changed so much since enron and worldcom that they should be trusted even more? Why is it that we have faced some of the most disturbing news recently about corporate interests running counter to individual interests that it would seem outlandish to propose that we limit corporate responsibility. In fact i think we should make corporations more responsible for the problems they create.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
