Add that to the new TIPS program (Terrorism Information and Prevention System), which enlists your friendly neighborhood postal workers and others to spy on you. Which risk is greater, terrorist attacks or an environment of reduced civil liberties and rampant mistrust of our fellow citizens? Meanwhile, King George II promises to slap the wrists of his friends for being dumb enough to get caught bilking the public. Even His majesty got away with that one, silly boys. Soon, the barbed wire fence and ditches will go up around Dearborn, as it becomes oour latest ethnic detention facility - I mean, "ongoing conference of all Arabic people in America on how to support the President." It makes me want to vomit. |
environment of reduced civil liberties and rampant mistrust of our fellow citizens?" The risk is the same. We'll keep terrorists from coming in while we keep creating them here, mistrust leading to fear, fear to anger, anger to hate, hate to...haven't we seen this enough? My bestfriend lives in Dearborn. She tells this story better than I do, so here goes: On September 12 I was eating dinner in a suburb outside of Dearborn, a man at the bar started to talk with his cronies, and I paraphrase, about how "we" need to "poison the water over there for the next 1,000 years. Those kids are only taught by their parents, wipe them out." and that he had heard about some A-rabs in Dearborn cheering when the news broke while some "Americans" were in the store. And, now I don't paraphrase, because this is etched into my mind forever, that he would like to "go down to Dearborn where all the A-rabs are with (his) 12-guage shotgun." Against every bone in my body urging me otherwise, I left the bar. Not before I looked him square in the eye and saw that he is what I fear in America, the violence, isolation and ignorance WITHIN our borders. |

essentially the SEC didnt have enough evidence to link Bush's sale with the subsequent drop in price. A short time after he sold, the stock tanked and then rebounded 20% the next day to previous levels. The stock eventually tanked a month later but that was the beginning of the Gulf War and many energy companies, as I understand it, took it in the ass then. In situations like that you have demonstrate they had inside knowledge and the subsequent sale was a result of such inside knowledge and there wasn't a link to be found. I think its safe to say an oil man/politician from Texas is about as trustworthy as a 16 year boy old in the Playboy mansion. But Im not convinced at this time its something of importance, and for dems to try and hang him for would be a mistake. Cheney and Haliburton smell much like a rat than Bush in corporate fraud. |

In situations like that the SEC lawyers have to demonstrate they had inside knowledge and the subsequent sale was a result of such inside knowledge and there wasn't a link to be found. It was like he sold it for dirt. He actually had a buyer pursue him. I think its safe to say an oil man/politician from Texas is about as trustworthy as a 16 year boy old in the Playboy mansion. But Im not convinced at this time its something of importance, and for dems to try and hang him for would be a mistake. I think they know this and are letting it go. Cheney and Haliburton smell much like a rat than Bush in corporate fraud. |
his stocks two months after signing an agreement that he wouldn't seel his stocks for 6 months. Where's Ken Starr when you need him? That would be awesome. |
