Do you think that Corporate Greed triumphs standards of living?

Does the almighty dollar really controll the minds of our congress and executive branch to the point that the standards of living in our nation take a back seat to their pandering to the special intrest of big buisness?

Do you think that Corporate Greed triumphs standards of living?

Look. It's government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich. Democrats are a little better, but do YOU know a poor politician? I don't know of any. Yes. $$$ rules the game. The BEST we can hope for is the Democrats to make it a little better. Short of a Ghandi/King type of revolution, that's the way it's going to be.

Yes it does. Congress is bought and sold by special interest. And yes, our standard of living is going down the toilet with govt. trade policies, outsourcing and in-sourcing jobs and all the rest of what they call "global" economy.
Yes, absolutely! *sm*
I think this society's leaders have their priorities of what life should be like for lower and middle classes backwards. Seems like they give little care to anything but their own greed driven agenda-I see little respect and much disregard.
Modern American History answers the question without a trace of doubt

Yes
Corporate greed is a spin off from personal greed and its destroying just about everything everywhere.
It does when the republicans are in control of the government.

How many have trust issues? Are you working on them?

Getting too close still makes me nervous, but I find I'm beginning to open up again. It took me a long time to get here, but I won鈥檛 allow treachery to triumph! If I become secluded, a loner, or close my heart, evil wins鈥?and so do my abusers. That鈥檚 unacceptable to me.

So I work especially hard to heal the deep wounds. I must admit, I'm surprised how long it takes though. Are you triumphing over distrust or any other obstacle left by someone?

How many have trust issues? Are you working on them?abtuvurys 2005

I struggle with trust issues too. Once bitten, twice shy...

You are right, giving in to your fear would mean letting evil win. It's great that you recognize that - for me, it took a long time to come to that realization.

In life I have found there is a balance you've got to strike between taking chances and guarding your heart. You don't want to go out there and trust just anybody with super valuable things (like the deeper parts of your heart), but after you've seen how a person is and know they are a good person, you have to force yourself to take that risk and trust even if it's uncomfortable for you. Unfortunately, testing people out is the only way to learn to trust again.

For me, it's been an uphill battle at times to be as open to people as I want to be. But when I look at where I was a year ago and I look at myself today, I can honestly say that I'm a lot farther along now than I was then. And to me, that's success.

Democrats are good at acting busy without actually accomplishing anything?

IS it possible to humiliate yourself politically and score a political triumph at the same time? That would seem to violate the laws of physics. Yet that is the story of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's week.

In conventional terms, Reid stage-managed a disaster on Tuesday when he had the Senate stay up all night to debate the Iraq war in preparation for a vote on a bill to start withdrawing troops in three months.

What Reid did came to naught. He failed to get a vote on the bill he wanted. He acted peeved and peevish. He retaliated against those who'd opposed him by refusing to allow a vote on a bill to increase pay for military personnel serving in Iraq, which is politically stupid any way you look at it (not to mention morally questionable).

What's more, Reid handled the whole business like a rank amateur, not like a seasoned politico and parliamentarian, which is what the Senate majority leader is supposed to be.

First he called the all-nighter a "stunt" - not exactly the language you want to use when you're claiming to be focusing on the most important issue of our time.

Second, there were incongruous notes of good cheer and sophomoric excitement amid the supposedly profound sorrow and anger attending the war debate - boxes of pizza filled with yummy cheesy goodness; senators giddily toting their toothbrushes to work; cots delivered so senators could rest in a "nap room."

Reid acted simultaneously as though the all-night talkathon was a college rush party and an incredible hardship on those poor, poor senators.

Songs NEEDED!!?

Does anyone know any songs that have the words records or CDs in it?

I am doing a project on triumph and tragedy. My Triumph is the record (it was an amazing discovery/ invention for the music industry) and my tragedy is the CD, the tragedy is not to the average person, but to the record companies (records are not popular anymore). I am going to use the song as my title, so please i really need a catchy title!!

She also told me, "stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."

Just the other day i heard a soldier falling off some indonesian junk that's going round.

Father says, "your mother's right, she's really up on things."

"before we married, mommy served in the wacs in the philippines."

Mercs are a good square sold construction

Built to last

but so is a metal toolbox

mercs have the grace and style of a duck at a miss world contest

its only in the last few years that someone introduced them to aerodynamics, I think it was jaguar that told them about wind tunnels

How many words are in this?

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen, thro' the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream;

'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, Oh long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a country should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Have we all forgotten what made America great?

SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS ?

A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:

Today I went to visit the new World War

II Memorial in Washington, DC!

I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of "the greatest war," with their families. It was a beautiful day,

and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.

On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:

Yesterday, December 7,

1941-- a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.

One elderly woman read the words aloud:

With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.

But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. "Wait a minute," she said, "they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended

the message with "so help us God.'"

Her husband said, "You are probablyright. We're not supposed to say

things like that now."
