Just 2 quick points about Bush

Yes, I'm trying to cut back on the anger, believe me, but:

1) Bush's signing message for the anti-torture law made it clear once again that he considers all legislation subject to his whim whenever national security, in his judgment, is at issue. His statement made it quite clear that he still considers himself fully empowered to authorize torture whenever he likes. This is a previously unknown legal stance, not only in the US, but also in England since at least 1640.

Why even pass laws?

2) Can anyone seriously doubt for a second that the secret snooping targets included Democrats, journalists, career non-politicals in the Executive Branch, etc.? Why on earth wouldn't they snoop on these people, from their vantage point? There is not even an argument you can make against doing it within their framework.

Further evidence that they did this is Bush's over-the-top non sequiturs about how he can't understand why anyone would doubt that it makes sense to eavesdrop on known al Queda leaders (who, needless to say, could be snooped on without resort to the secret program).

It is so insulting and demeaning when public debate is conducted in such a transparently dishonest way. They don't think they even have to try to make coherent arguments.

    "Slaving For Peanuts-vs-Graving For Walnuts"

    Let me tell you a story about me..............................Carael Knight
    (TRUE STORY........)

    When I first started building my company, MajorEnterprise,
    I had started at the bottom. For years, I had worked SO hard "busing-my-hump" for a worthless salary. I mean
    No Benefits At All........................................What kind of stability is this? And now, that I look back, the only thing
    that comes to mind is, "Man, I worked for some complete "Dummy's" (a.k.a "Bosses.").

    The majority of "J-O-B-S" that I have ever worked, I been fired from. I have never been really good at
    working for somebody else. I guess one of the main reasons would be that they knew I was humble. Or maybe they
    feared me being so intelligent that I would possibly take over the company or something.

    They would say stuff to me like "your not being productive enough" or "we need
    to talk about your work ethics". It had been times where I wanted to literally laugh in there face! Why? Well, one reason
    would be...........................................

    1. I have been commented on my "work performance" so much that it would feel strange NOT to be questioned about my work ethic.

    2. What benefit will it be to me if I worked "twice as hard" and doubling my workload for still the same pay rate???

    3. If I was to get a raise on a "J-O-B", it wouldn't be much because most "J-O-B-S" only give a person cents on the dollar.

    4. In life, if I work hard at something, I would rather "bust-my-hump" doing something I love to do rather than wasting my time doing something to make another man richer!

    A lot of people won't tell you these things because there "scared" that they may get laid off or have someone think
    differently about them. But as for me, I'm my own individual. I'm taking the gloves off! I'm taking a stand to let any individual that feels
    like there isn't hope, know that if I can be successful, so can you! Hear my clear, "The only way to truly be happy in life and be successful
    is to do what interest you"! Find your niche. Get out and explore new things and opportunites. Find something that you love to do and pursue it.
    "NEVER, EVER, EVER, GIVE UP". This is one of the formulas of success! I've always looked at things in clear view in terms of business and personal
    finance.

    MajorEnterprise

    The road was never easy for me but if there are people out there that have overcame hardships ten times as worst as mine, then this should be
    a piece of cake for me! That's how I've always looked at it. This is the game of life. Just because a person starts ahead in the race doesn't mean that he
    will always finish first. Statistics show that just about every person who is "self made" had to start from the "bottom of the barrel" and "work there way up the ladder". You can too. Being successful and become a shining star in life is not going to be easy "BUT" it isn't impossible either......................................

    This has been my true story that I felt I should share with the world..........................................................................

    Information powers our world. The more information you have, the more money you make. It used to be you had to go to an expensive business school or spend years becoming a doctor or lawyer to have valuable information people would pay big money for.

    Not anymore. Today ANYONE can use FREE classified ads to sell information demanded daily by MILLIONS of people. Think about it. These days when somebody wants to know how to do something, they GO ONLINE and look for INFORMATION to tell them how to do it.

    My name is Carael Knight. I started Major Enterprise about seven years ago with a vision and a plan.

    The vision was to show people how to start, run, and operate their own profitable online business. Now that led me to create the plan, which was the process of carrying out the vision!

    Since I was young I always had an ambition to become wealthy. This was not just for the sake of being wealthy, but because I saw what a struggle money was for so many people around me.

    The Internet Marketing Genius, Carael Knight

    Not knowing where to start on actually making money, I went to college and got a Business Degree. After graduation, I went straight into working in the financial industry only to find that I did not like putting in long hours even for the substantial starting salary.

    Who Wants To Be A Internet Millionaire

    I know most people would've been happy with what I was making, but the truth is that I had no free time. To me having my time was more important then having more money. I knew there had to be a way to have both so I started looking for other ventures outside of the traditional workforce.

    I tried several different things and ended up making the most on eBay. I juggled my full time job and eBay for nearly a year until I was making enough online to quit my job and pay my bills.

    I started to live the life. eBay was growing and actually started to make me more money then what I had been making at my "professional" job.

    Tip:

    Most "Real" home based online money making businesses has to have "Proof of Earnings" to back up what they say right? Well...............

    See My Earnings Here!

    I don't just "talk the talk", I "walk the walk" and can back up everything that I'm telling you. Look at it this way, if you make "ONLY" a measely $274 a day, that about $100,000 a year! Think about it.

    The Internet Marketing Genius, Carael Knight

    $274 A Day = $100,000 A Year

    I don't know about you, but this is amazing to me when you really think about it!

    If the truth be told I should be selling this system for hundreds of dollars because of how confident I am with this manual. Initially I offered it for $299 and was able to sell the program very successfully.....................
