Killer Cops

I will not longer support the Fraternal Order of Police. I saw a very disturbing video the other day about a man who was involved in a high speed chase. It doesn't matter who or where because it's happening all over our country. The police were acting like crazed animals on a hunt. Their itchy trigger fingers had to fire because they had their prey cornered between three cars (two parked cars and a police car) in a parking lot. They were protected from the perpetrator's retaliation and they fired at will for the poor slob had disrespected their request for him to pull over. That was the real reason these cowards fired--I saw the video. At no point were they in danger of losing their lives. Cowards! The police chief said that the man should have stopped when he was first pulled over because "this is what drivers are instructed to do when they get their licenses." Bullshit, I say. The Asian family, it turns out, was not able to sue the police. Probably because they ...

Campus Police

Well, tin soldiers and Nixon's coming/We're finally on our way/This summer I hear the drummng/Four dead in OHIO. I know, no one got killed during the recent police activity at UCLA and Florida. But two students did get tasered and that smarts. We still don't all the details of the UCLA incident. It seems the student who got tasered may have planned it. However, it's still an abuse of power. BTW, if you don't have a union representing you, you are really missing out on the sweet life. I personally think that government employees should not have unions because the bastards that we put in charge of spending our money (the politicians) spend it just like anyone spends money that is not their own. They'll bow down to the unions and give away our money to teachers, firemen, the police, and bureaucrats--all in the name of great education (hah!), safety (when was the last time a fireman saved someone's life? Where are the stories apart from the jaws of life that do ...

New Directions for Our Country

Eliminating disenfranchisement through the Web. Peer pressure amongst politicians perpetuates the status quo. I can see it happening and I've never been to Capital Hill. But there is a way to keep them working for us instead of the special interest. The cure is for us to compete directly with the lobbyists and other movers. Forget letters to your elected officials. Forget public opinion polls; the fat cats cannot be trusted with our future. The only way to keep them honest is to keep them on their toes every step of the way. When this site is implemented, the politician will be guided to do our will, not his own. Notice that I said guided; the politician will always be allowed to vote his conscience. This is necessary because he/she is privy to a large amount of so-called classified information that may work against our wishes. This roadblock however only affects decisions regarding national security. No other area of our society is off limits to our will. Here’s how...
