OK people all together now... "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore." Yes I am quoting from the film NETWORK and its spot on. YouTube - Network - Mad as Hell Scene
If people can not shout out that one simple line then it will prove that we are going down the pan and no one cares, apart from a few.
This helped get me in a foul mood this AM: "The Reason Foundation is a Libertarian think tank. This bit from Jon Basil Utley. Don't read it if you still think Obama hung the moon: It's only a matter of time before President Barack Obama's vast popularity runs aground on his energy policies.(Mindless Obamabats will not even notice ). In the name of saving the planet from global warming, he has delayed new oil drilling, an action that will have major political repercussions once the world economy recovers. Instead of using some [of] the stimulus billions to produce more gas and oil, Obama's wild-eyed supporters dream of "renewable" energy derived from corn, wind, sunshine, and even grass. (Remember Jimmah Carter's energy "policy") With the appointment of extremists like climate czar Carol Browner and science adviser John Holdren, Obama has placed his administration's environmental policy in the hands of radicals. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar proposes replacing oil and coal with windmills. Yet Barron's recently reported that America would need to build 500,000 giant offshore windmills and transmission lines to produce Salazar's specified 1,900 gigawatts of electricity. In contrast, oil and gas drilling could provide hundreds of thousands of solid, well-paying blue-collar jobs. . . . All of these things are happening at a time when natural gas is abundant and cheap. The new technology of horizontal fraccing has made it economically feasible to drill into vast shale deposits in many states, even famously difficult ones like Michigan and New York. Many cars could run on natural gas, much like many buses do already. On a recent trip to Peru, I learned that most taxicabs have been converted to natural gas for a cost of about $1,000 each. New technologies continually revive old oil and gas fields and make new ones economically viable. So it's little more than socialist Malthusianism to argue that the world is running out of cheap energy. Science will always find and harness new sources." More American Idol Presidency "policies"
If only it was so simple to say "Hey I'm super pissed and this bullshit needs to stop" Um, if that was the case, that would have happened a hundred years ago. What we need to do is stop electing politicians. Elect people who know some shit.
People have got to get mad to wake them up to action. But we the few are out numbered by those who sit at home watch TV and so on.
Seriously, you are right. The elected elite (incumbents) of any party should be throw out after ONE term. I will never vote for an incumbent again. The US Congress is a morass of power thirsty power-seekers who will sell out to the highest bidder and promise anything to keep being re-elected (NOTE: both political parties and the "seniority system" are the root of all this corruption) My New Political Movement is the TTBO: THROW THE BUMS OUT! ONE TERM AND DONE!
if the people would come back together like the allies did in world war 2 to fight the germans the world would be able to pull themselves out of this ****** mess
Hi luketdrifter We have a big problem here where people moan and groan but not one of them will write a letter to there Member of Parliament or even to the Prime Minister...I wonder how many people meet there MP's or even know there names. The problem is we have bought this on our selfs by taking this silly attitude 'what the hell can we do' and 'voting changes nothing' so we elect people who bend the rules...break the rules...what rules...and so on. We must get mad and wake up and say..."I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore." The masses must wake up and demand change to our corrupt political system which is long out of date. Why the hell do we need 600 odd MP's for crying out loud...America has about 400 odd and look at the size of America...its big real big. I would also get rid of all these sitting MP's in safe seats...bloody no good dinosaur's. I would get rid of a third election win in a role as time and time again the party in power goes to the wall will sleaze as they run out of steam. The only way that we the voter will get change is stand up and get mad as hell and make it crystal clear we the voters are back and we the voters are going to make that lot at Westminster work for us.
I do agree with you there...too many politicians. I was firing off letters to my state reps and senators a few months back about some issues with the Great Lakes and I wondered myself how many people in the state even knew their names. Sad.
