Well exscuuuuse me for not jumping on the bandwagon until more info was available and the issue had been discussed and debated. I believe it's called healthy skepticism. |
Yes, except the same sources who told you it was a bad idea are the same sources that told you it is okay. (The media generically.) All you did was follow where they led you.
You are not reading between the lines.
If anything, this story shows how weak the American economy really is. Not only have we outsourced everything being made, we no longer control the ports when it comes in. Phone calls are already routed overseas.
Since you are in the food producing industry, (the original industry) maybe you think you are immune to what is going on. But eventually no one will be able to purchase what you are producing. These political debates in the newspapers are meaningless. It's like rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.
The only way to get the fear and redundancy out of our politics is for everyone to recognize the fear and redundancy. Partisan squabbles leave all the serious work undone.
If America's security apparatus could not prevent 9/11, then you can be sure that the apparatus is equally ineffective today. The words are meaningless that are being offered.
I am not worried about the security issue, I am worried about the cause of the conflict. Address the issues behind the conflict and you solve the problem. |
I can't believe I just wasted my time reading this nonsense.
