Scoreboard


Let me get this straight. We have a government that is given the duty to do certain things in our interests. Has this government served us?

1. We are now told by a Senate Committee that FEMA is broken beyond repair. As citizens, we can ask, "Who is responsible for this screw up?" And "Who is going to handle the disasters this summer?"
2. The price of fuel both for cars and trucks AND for home heating oil and electricity (generated from the same)is going through the roof. I have a picture which I will post which shows the price of a gallon of regular gas in the Fall of 2001: $1.09!! As citizens, we can ask, "Who is responsible for this screw up?" More importantly, "Why was it not foreseen?"
3. Every single argument for the war in Iraq is bogus. We cringe when we even hear the word. As citizens, we can ask, "Who is responsible for this screw up?" (and it isn't retired generals)
4. Does anyone doubt that the climate is warming and that we are experiencing major effects from this (tsunamis, tornadoes and hurricanes of unheard of ferocity)? As citizens we can ask "What is our government doing to address this issue?" I'll tell you, they are DENYING it. Listening to Michael Critchon, the idiot. (Thank god he didn't stay in medicine.)
5. Extraordinary Rendition is UnAmerican. Torture is against the Law. As citizens we can reasonably ask "Where is the Constitutional permission to commit these odious sins?"
6. It is against the Constitution to spy on the American People. As citizens we can reasonably ask "Why are you spying on us? Where are our Courts? Why is this allowed to continue?"

7. Nuclear weapons are apparently still "on the table" for Iran. Why has this question not caused our country to go ballistic?

And then, "Why did you impeach a President for lying about sex when you won't even think about what is going on now?"
