NPR & PBS - Funding Cut!

Cutting funding for public creativity, art/music is effectively cutting a major artery in the right arm of every American. In times such as these children and adults alike need creative release and entertainment to ease the pain of the daily horrific reality of our current affairs. It seems odd to me the political decisions made during critical times that actually aide the demise of the spirit of America as we once knew it. I understand political B.S. and a corporate mentality, and it is exactly these practices which are destroying many lives time and time again. Please make the right decision and let the people decide NPR & PBS's fate. Government used to be for the people and by the people, it seems it is no longer our choice as Americans, we are now at the mercy of a handful of political thugs.

BP (British Petroleum)... a UK or a US blunder?

This recent BP blunder apparently has had UK feeling as if the US lies blame upon, or faults the entire United Kingdom for the recent BP blunder. Is our president Mr. Obama in charge of our country? Does he not have the power to fix this issue? If he doesn't, then I haven't any idea who does??? And furthermore, how is a single organization/industrial company allowed to make such a critical decision on their own without multiple permits and clearance period! Are we all sheep??? Don't we question the obvious any longer?! Shouldn't our US Government have been regulating situations such as these and our recent "economic meltdown"! And when someone or something goes wrong... what does our government do? That's right US Citizens! They point fingers every which way but the obvious direction! When did we start holding an entire country responsible for a single company or individuals mistake/blunder just because the individual or company who F'd up happens to be of native origin of that particular country?!! Who is ultimately responsible for the well being of the US Citizens and legalities of running this country? How many of you would have allowed such a decision to be made by a single company period!? Let's mend our US/UK bridge and lie blame where it should! On a single company and a single US President! Not an entire country of innocent people who have had NOTHING to do with a greedy and careless mistake! Show the UK we as Americans are too intelligent to lie blame on an entire country due to the actions of one company or individual from that country! I have raised the "Union Jack" along with "Old Glory" to show my support to the English people, in my attempt to drown out any loose/careless comment by our US Government.
This recent misunderstanding truly makes no sense at all! It's like saying the US is responsible for Mc Donald's and Mc Donald's is responsible for making the the world OBESE!

"Richard Peacock is running for president"

That's right! I have decided that I would most likely do a much better job in that seat, so, I am officially announcing that I am "throwing my hat in the ring"! I have had enough of these guys in office doing a half ass job! I have been closely studying all the blunders over the years and I can honestly say that I know exactly what NOT to do at this point! And I am pretty sure I can do just as good if not better of a "half ass job" as the next guy! So, there you have it... April fools!

Healthcare... the Un-American way? Continued...

Enough with the US Health Care debate! It's not about a perfect bill, a perfect system! That day will come, oh let me see... the day after NEVER! It's about improvement and room for it! The bill may not be anywhere close to perfect, who knows? Only the House Reps. and Obama at this point, but, I can honestly say that our system is broken without any bill in place and we have to start somewhere. If not now, then when? And with what structure? The only individuals who are against this bill are the ones who either fear the unknown and have nothing but what they have heard from the higher up on the food chain, or, fear they are going to be the target of higher taxes and, or, fear that the government tell them which procedures they are able to have. I guess they don't mind having the insurance companies and HMO's make those decisions for them. The government getting involved should only regulate prices and put a tourniquet around this blood thirsty system! As we are now, they can name their price and there is no one to stop them in their tracks! The insurance companies will either approve it or deny it, either way they are passing the costs onto YOU the consumer!
