Finding an End to a Costly War
Commented Nov 21, 2009 at 01:09:57 in World
“The American Soldier who gets Orders to Report for being deployed to a 4th Tour of Iraq or Afghanistan does not feel like he he performing an important mission for well being of the United States. No.
The G.I. who gets sent back for a 3rd or 4th Tour feels like he's being punished and tortured!
Far to many are easing the pain of being sent back to fight in a war his Countrymen do not care about. Because American citizens are not involved in what the Government is doing, pushing overworked G.I.'s far beyond the limits of Mental and Physical pain endurance, our soldiers are killing themselves to escape from becoming third-world psychopathic killers motivated by self preservation and fear.
Why?
Why are we spending enormous sums to create legions of psychopaths who have a need for as much ammunition as they can carry, sleep with a loaded weapon, shoot at anything that might be a threat; to get sent home for a few weeks and live as a stranger among his loved ones. Who realizes he wants to be unplugged from the war machine which will not release him until he is dead; so he pulls the pin on a Grenade and holds it up to his hear and listens to hear the fuse.
The two wars we wage are obscene.”

“Recruiters are already paying High School drop-out's a "Signing Bonus" if the pass the Army's new qualifying written exam.
The Recruiter even went so far as to tell his group of Army prospects that he taped all the correct answers on a sheet of paper stuck to the underside of the chairs.
One kid didn't know that all he needed to do was reach under the chair and snatch the cheat-sheet.
He stood-up and turned-over his chair and made sure his answers were the same as those supplied by the New Army of One.
He passed.”

“The civil war in the Middle East is essentially over. Iran won, with the help of George Bush, who removed Saddam, who protected the Saudis (paradoxically) by counterbalancing Tehran (or Qom.) Obama is now acceding to reality by talking with Iran, so of course Republicans are attacking him for being weak. A good joke. Perhaps the Republicans don't entirely understand the full implications yet of "greatest strategic mistake in US history." But Bush essentially handed the best Iraqi oilfields, and control of the head of the Gulf, to Iran. They only have to lean in order to influence Saudi Arabia. Not only did Bush bring to a close the era of US dominance of the middle east and control of the oil supply, but he also may have doomed Saudi Arabia.”

“Maybe the best course of action would be to Elect a Board of Scholars, let them convene and rewrite The Constitution. So that what WAS intended by the Framers to be for the good of all isn't misconstrued as license allowing others to do otherwise.
Back when the State of the Art for a Firearm was a Musket, only capable of being fired once before needing to be primed and reloaded; a feat nearly impossible for anyone whilst traveling by horseback, it's doubtful The Second Amendment was added to insure that Gangsters would be able to spray dozens of 9mm bullets upon someone's domicile from the Moon Roof of a Cadillac Escalade.”

“There is no need to rewrite the Constitution. The general concepts are as relevant today as they were 200 years ago. All that is required is a "board of scholars" that can interpret those concepts for today's world while staying true to the original principles.
We already have that. It is called the Supreme Court, and despite fussing from both the right and the left, the Court works quite well. Referring back to your example, there are limits on the owning and use of firearms as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. I would point out that the state of the are in advanced weaponry circa 1780 was cannons. However, you did not see too many colonists with those. In a similar manner today the ownership of such things as grenade launchers and bazookas is highly restricted. Even fully automatic weapons are restricted.
It is the legislatures and the people who create the laws that set the limits and it is the courts that determine which of those laws are valid under the Constitution. This creates a balance that has worked quite well for 220 years and it does not appear to be broken now.”

“The First Amendment includes a few qualifying remarks.
The Press is Free.
You can say whatever you are able to put into words.
Now that we have entered an information age far beyond the wildest expectations of the Framers of The Constitution; perhaps it is time to add some additional language to The Bill of Rights.
What qualifies as "Press"?
Your speech, according to The Constitution, if FREE.
According to Law, you are free to step-up upon a Soap Box and scream as loud as you can be heard.
Bull-horns and "Other amplification measures" are not allowed within the Protection.
What are "Other amplification measures"?
Somebody ought to take one of those Right Wing Liars to Court for violating The Constitution.

“Why do Americans equate an uncontrolled press with a "free" press. An uncontrolled press is only free to those who co-opt it for their own agenda, Which, it seems, is seldom in the best interests of your citizens.”

“I'm not quite sure where to start. Your concept of the "qualifiers" for free speech and free press under the constitution is a bit odd.
Regarding amplification, you seem to be referencing a common policy limitation employed by various institutions like universities in relation to "free speech zones" that often get set up on campus. This rule is a means to prevent disruption. It is not part of the overall concept of free speech. There is no qualifier in the Constitution that limits free speech to the power of your own voice. Protected speech is protected speech. The government cannot create a law that unfairly abridges that speech in any of its forms.
Also, there is not unlimited right for the press to "say whatever you are able to put into words". There are limits on what can be said. Libel is not allowed and inciting violence is not either. There are also limits on true hate speech (which is along the lines of inciting violence). The courts have established the line quite well through legal precedent.
I would like to know what you mean by "press protection". If anything, the press has a greater responsibility under civil law to the words they print, and their freedom is limited more than an average citizen because of it.
As for violating the Constitution, it is a document for what government is allowed to do. Only the government can be taken to court for violating it.”

“Despite the legions of Police Officers who will don Full Dress Uniforms and stand behind Sgt. James Crowley for arresting Skip Gates; their support is for a Cop who "Went by the book". Not actually for "Doing the right thing."
Skip Gates was irate because he had to break-in to his own house and someone saw fit to call the Cops on him.
I would have been plenty upset, too.
But, when Gates produced his identification, showing that he was in his home, ... The Constitution trumps the Cambridge P.D. Procedures and entitles Gates to be as crazy, disorderly and obnoxious as he might might want to be, or get, under the circumstances as they were.
When a Veteran, starched and pressed, Sergeant with any degree of swagger encounters an angry and irate individual, ... the outcome is always the same.

“Your statement makes a glaringly false assumption. You say that someone saw skip Gates breaking into his own home and saw fit to call the police.
The woman who phoned the police did not know who was breaking into the house.
This is a very important distinction because it seriously changes the nature of what was really going on. Your trying to build some case for "let's all get the black man" and it's not supported. Just as you jumped to the conclusion that the woman knew he was breaking into his own home, maybe Professor Gates jumped to the conclusion that the police were there to harras him. Jumping to conclusions is how this whole thing blew up.”
