World-wide Disasters

Perhaps we need a reality check; or perhaps we've just received one, or more! It comes down to the perception of values, or misplaced priorities. Of course, we all have to exercise our own judgement on issues and if you have ten people standing in a room arguing a point...you'll probably wind up with twelve or thirteen answers and wonder how that could possibly be.

So, let's start with values upon which we can all agree.

No one wants war - the Democrats have been attacking the Republicans over the war and demand withdrawal of the troops. And they've been making headway. Yet on Thursday, the 27th of September, 2007, the leading Democratic candidates for the Presidency declared that the troops can't be withdrawn until the year 2013.

So the Democrats have taken the war off the table as far as issues are concerned and admitted that their prior speeches were just so much horse-manure and that they have now accepted the war as their own, not just George Bush's. So now we have no leading politician in America who is willing to stop the war as the electorate have demanded.

Wake up folks...that's not the worst thing that's about to happen.

The war is essentially a planned distraction.

Have you checked super-market prices for basic food items such as bread, milk, meats? How about fuel, gasoline, electricity and sewer and water costs? Do I have to mention medical costs?

Our economy is about to spiral out of control. That little gimmick by the Federal Reserve of dropping interest rates by half a percentage point didn't even scratch the surface and, indeed, may have exacerbated the problem by driving foreign investors out of the dollar market. If the foreign investors, namely the Arab Oil sheiks, the Chinese and/or the Japanese, haven't already left yet; they will shortly, as our mounting national debt in support of the war accelerates the dollar's already plunging value.
