More issues!

Another sign of why everyone hates President Bush.  On NPR today President Bush was reported as saying he would veto more bill if  congress doesn't follow his guidelines.  The "decision maker" just has to make sure he pisses everyone off before he leaves office.  Does egotistical, self-centered hypocrite remind you of anyone? 11/09/2007

Why we need to stop outsourcing:  With China becoming known as the world's largest producer of inferior, cheap products and Indian as a good place to go if you don't care about customer retention and/or  loyalty, this gives America an opportunity to take back what was once theirs: American Pride:  take pride in our work, be thorough, honest, fair, and speak good English!  10/03/2007

If most every country in the world hates the USA because of our medalling, financing opposition parties, and our constant demands for democratic and capitalistic changes, why don't we mind our own business? 

Alberto Gonzales steps down - yet another bull headed, Bush appointed, arrogant, self-serving leader bits the dust.  Will President Bush be the last arrogant leader standing in the US or are we getting ready for the next wave of power-hungry leaders? 08/27/2007

If President Bush's aids are jumping ship why doesn't he?  This is just another example of the lack of ethics Bush's aids really have for their country.  They can't even stay to the end, they have no country loyalty and that's probably part of the reason why this country is so messed up.  With no ethics, how could they run a country?

It's a shame that we (USA) have a President like George Bush, while he seems to have great communication skills when talking with the general public, he has little or none when he talks with the rest of the world. His advisors project Mr. Bush as the "know-it-all, answer-it-all, my-way" President. 

Personally he comes across as a genuinely nice guy with a major ego problem. 

Last week I was invited to meet with President Bush, to which I immediate replied "no thanks." When I look back at my response; it's a shame I felt/feel this way about my own President. President Bush, on the outside, seems to really care about others no matter what country they come from or live in, however his persistence coupled with his inability to be flexible causes more problems and issues then if he and his cronies would just keep quiet and let other countries take over the actual communication side of things.

So to the rest of the world, I'm sorry about President Bush, we're really not as bad of a country as he projects.

Exxon-Mobile boycott?!  It has been suggested that if the general public were to participate in a boycott of all Exxon-Mobile supplied gas stations it would have little or no effect on the price of gas. I fail to understand how a significant decrease in their sales volume would fail to get their attention. The public would need to know all the names under which their product is sold. I would willing play my part in such an action, would you? Someone should provide a state by state list of all retail points of sale for gasoline produced by Exxon-Mobile. 05/2007

Dymler Chrysler sells majority shares of corporation without notifying employees.  

Just another example of big business doing what it does best; selling out the little guy.  

Where does your future stand with the corporation you work for? 05/14/2007

Fuel prices in America are just another example of why big business should not be allowed to self regulate and monitor itself.  For the little guys government makes rules, regulations and laws backed by costly legal expenses and often jail time.  But for big business the government seems to think self regulations and the honor system works best.  So why would you think a petroleum company would lower their profits at a time when they're making records profits?  Do you really think BP, Shell and Chevron really care about the American economy?  Not unless it effects their pocket book and let's face it; American citizens aren't organized enough to team-up and do anything together.  After all when it comes to big business, it's these same large corporations that make the enormous contributions and offer all the perks to our politicians, not the little guy, and who's listening to the little guy anyways unless it's re-election time?  Yet it's the little guy that pays most of the taxes, sends their kids off to fight foreign wars, tries to pay for healthcare, education for their children, property taxes, federal, state, and sales tax and more, all on what's called middle income earnings.  So who's really watching out for whom?  When will enough be enough and when will America start watching out for Americans instead of big business and politicians?  Unfortunately, never.  05/15/2007

Tony Blair is stepping down after 10 years of service.  Blair's started off in office with a great reputation and a huge following, but when Tony took  sides with President Bush, his following and reputation went straight down hill with him.  So what's my point?  First of all, I'm  embarrassed to have President Bush represent the USA, secondly I think the world can bite the big one!  Yes our politicians have their head up their asses, and yes they don't have a clue when it comes to taking care of anyone other than themselves, their families and friends, yet whenever there are injustices in the world, it's the world that looks to the USA to take care things and pay for everything.  I agree Bush and the majority of politician are self-centered, self-service ego maniacs, but they don't speak for our country, they just paid more than the next guy to get in office.  America is, in spite of the political arena, a great place; we care about not only our own people, but we care about others no matter what country their in.  We send our money, support and our own children off to foreign countries to make things better, not for us but for you!  We go to these other countries not with our hands out, but with our hearts out.  Yes we have a few bad apples, but it's the US news that reports those bad apples and what they've done.  I bet, you can't think of another country that actually takes action when it comes to protecting other people and other countries, and no country has sacrifice as much as the US in both money and our own peoples lives.  So if the rest of the world wants to hate us, I'll say it again; they can bite the big one.  05/09/2007

America, world opinion: When people used to think of America they might have said a few bad things here and there, however eventually they would come back with something about how America reaches out to the poor, needy and helpless, but today America stands for greed, power and insincerity.

Much of the problem is we have a President that just thinks about how he feels, everyone else's opinion simply means almost nothing.  I guess he's just part of the "ME" generation.

It's time for a change.  04/28/2007

It's incredible to hear the Democrats and Republicans criticize President Bush for his actions in Iraq, yet both parties has been directly responsible for authorizing and acknowledging each step along the way.  I personally don't understand how they can keep criticizing yet they can't seem to come up with any better solutions other than asking the U.N. to get involved and for the U.S. to pullout.

First of all, the U.N. has already told the world they're not interested in getting involved, so stop talking like it's an option.  If you really want to stop the war in Iraq or elsewhere, give them electricity, jobs, food, shelter,  and a future.  You can't blame anyone for helping whichever special interest group that offers to pay, feed and shelter their families.

Why is it so important for the news media to broadcast every step our military plans to take before it happens?  If our enemies would do the same, we wouldn't have to worry where they're at or what their up to, we'd just do what our enemies do, what the news!  This reminds me of our original 13 colonies battling against the British.  The British did everything by the book while our colonies used every sneaky little trick in the book.  The British chivalry and ethics help give us our independence.  

This is a war we're in, and the rest of the world isn't in it with us, so stop justifying everything to the world!

43 year old astronaut Lisa Nowak allegedly planed out a long term plot to rid herself of one member of a three way love triangle (Nowak, Shipman and Oefelein).  If it's true or not; Nowak is just a person, so let's just send her to jail for a few years and let's move on!  I only hope this doesn't turn in to a military issue where they go through the motions (for show), then protect their own the the police departments do.

Government in America: Why is it that the President and our politician never seem to ask us little people what we think or what we're most concerned about in America until just before the elections, thereafter, nothing seems to change?

Joe Bidden opens his mouth about Obama without thinking.  Does this mean he's a resist?  Does this mean he shouldn't run for President, or does this mean he's only human?

Two US Federal agents (Ramos and Compean) have been sentenced to prison after they attempted to arrest a known drug smuggler possessing over $1,000,000.00 worth of drugs. 01/19/2007

Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell are at it again! Both act like little kids as they point figures and throw mud at each other and do the name calling thing, belittling each other's life, looks, behavior, TV shows, marriages/civil union and whatever, all while "The Donald" tells the world how rich he is, and didn't go bankrupt (just took advantage of the situation).  You'd think the news would zero in on these two adult's childish behavior but instead they talk about how each is actually promoting themselves "bad publicity is better than no publicity", which I totally disagree with.  These two, not to mention the news are setting a poor example to everyone on how to behave and act when you're a star.  If I owned stock in whatever business either one is associated with, I'd sell it!   12/28/2006

The "Do Nothing Congress" is trying its best to finally get something done, but it's to little to late for most and even at this late date, most still think they need to wheel and deal instead of just voting for what's right.  What a poor excuse of a government.  12/12/2006 

"Do politicians really think negative campaigning is really what their constituents want?  Are the barrage of annoying phone calls at all times of day and night including Sundays, also something politicians think will get people out to vote, let alone for them?  Hasn't the past 10 years of negative campaigning taught them anything?  

Not one ad or solicitation has offered a real proactive strategy.  And why is it if we have "no call" laws, only the people running for office and a few other exceptions are allowed to?  

I say, kick them all out of office and start over.  November 7th, SUCKS!"

PM WY 11/07/2006

John Kerry makes a statement he won't be honest about making and the Republicans act like a bunch of kids saying "All he has to do is apologies."  What a bunch of spoil little rich kids.  

Democrats and Republicans, grow up, each of you know neither party admits anything unless they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar. 11/01/2006

Politicians:  Why is it ok for each party to make faults accusation against the other party when they know what they're saying is a lie?  Recently I notice politicians running inexcusable ads against the other party only to say, we didn't authorize the ad and we're trying to get it off the air.  Is there any accountability, or do politicians just keep breaking laws because they know they won't be held accountable anyways? 10/28/2006

Do not call list cover just about every type of business other than politicians and I for one, think this is yet another bunch of bull from our legislators to protect their own interest while controlling ours.  When they get in trouble with the law like the Kennedy's, negligence homicide, drunken driving, rape charges, leaving the scene of an accident, careless driving, etc they simply manage to get the charges dropped and off they go to a luxurious rehab center for the week, where you and I would end up being fined beyond our imagination and forced to serve real jail time.   So why doesn't anyone do something about this type of one sided legislation?  Answer, because the public just sites back and complains and does noting!  So I guess we deserve it. 10/20/2006

Politicians and movie stars go to rehab, you and I go to jail!  How is this fair, and why do we keep letting both groups get away with everything? 10/09/2006

Is outsourcing good for business?  Well, you might say, it depends on where you live, but for many US businesses, outsourcing has brought on an entirely new problem; poor support has meant poor customer loyalty.  And many companies are losing customer base by the thousand mainly because their customers simply can't communicate or get help from their outsourced support teams. By the way, calling your help desk 'technical advisor', 'specialist', 'consultant' etc doesn't make much sense if they don't know that their doing.  10/08/2006

We're losing the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, not just because President Bush is nearsighted, self-righteous, arrogant and foolish, or because we have no real leadership in America, it's also not just that the news media has an agenda against everything in America.  We're losing the war because all of these things and our enemies love to hear it!  My advise would be a little more patriotic, freedom of expression is a nice privileges to have, but bashing everything about America isn't news, it's a simply a matter of a negative opinion controlled by people with money.  10/07/2006

GM and Renault, now there's a real great thought.  One's a company that discontinued selling their junk cars in the US and the other is a company that acts like their trying to stop selling cars in the US.   Just to consider the two as a team means the folks at GM are screwed up!   09/20/2006

Condoleezza Rice says we're only going to warn you 10 or 20 more times then we're going to take appropriate action.

Why is the Federal Reserve so interested in curbing inflation when jobs and complete businesses are moving out of the country and our economy is going down the tubs?  I personally don't care if bread is $10 a loaf as long as I'm working and can afford it,  I'd also rather pay high prices than I would having to worry about if I get another paycheck.  10/07/2006

Migrant workers seem to be, in general, nice people, but they be registered if they're working or living within US borders. 10/02/2006

US news is bent on stating there was no connections between Saddam and al-Qaida, therefore the war in Iraq was not necessary.  Who cares if there was or was not a connection?  We went in to Iraq because Saddam refused to let UN inspectors in to Iraq to inspect their nuclear capabilities and Saddam mocked and taunted the UN and in particular the US.  Many of the UN countries didn't support the attack/war but few took a strong stand either way. 09/10/2006

President Bush is back on the bandwagon looking for mid-election voters, watchout minorities here he comes!  07/20/2006

Supreme Courts protects government from whistleblowers.  Yet another example of the  government protecting it's lawmakers and  agencies while letting the American worker know he or she's just a pawn.  Do your job, the government will tell you what and when you can say anything!   Article 05/31/2006

The Feds monetary tightening and rising interests rates not only slow US economic growth they actually cause inflation.  If my business can't borrow money at an interest rate comparable to overseas rates, then how do you expect my business to compete without passing the higher cost of doing business on?  05/23/2006

Why do you think American investors are scurrying to invest money overseas?  Lower cost of labor, lower interest rates, fewer restrictions, national pride, patriotism and government assistance is impossible to compete with.  05/23/2006

Who really runs this country?  It's the news!  Despite the media's claims, the news slants political stories and certainly seems to have a hidden agenda against any political power that's in office.  It's almost as if the media automatically takes odds against whatever party that's in office and seems to relish any and all signs of negativity.  Our media has turned from a reporting agency in to an entertainment series capitalizing and theatrisizing each incident at the sake of the victims evolved.  If you ever wonder why anyone would want to run for office, become a police officer or hold a public office, you would have to contribute most of the criticism if not all to our media.  Mean, vicious, relentless, opinionated stories without a rebuttal.  Is this really what freedom of the press was suppose to offer? 05/23/2006

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro breaks right rear leg in numerous areas (Morning Call reported left ankle, can't tell right from left) and veterinarian claims Barbaro has a fifty/fifty chance.  My question, why is a broken or fractured leg life threatening to a horse or are they making this in to a more suspenseful situation than it is? 05/21/2006  Your comment

How much more can middle and lower class America take?  Republican controlled House passes $70,000,000,000.00 tax cut for the wealthy, the average working person receives approximately $45.00, the average wealthy person receives $45,000.00.  Is this really what America needs to spur economic growth?  Personally Ragonomic's trickle down theory didn't work then and it surely isn't working now.  America is losing thousands of jobs both overseas and over our boarders while large investors like Warren Buffett spend their investment money in foreign investments and stocks.  The only thing worse is the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke raised interest rates again today effecting only the little guy and small businesses that can't afford to borrow money overseas at near zero percentage rates.  How much more can America middle and lower class take?  05/11/2006

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke upped the interest rates today one quarter point with profound words of wisdom, basically  if need be he will raise them again next quarter, if not, he won't.  Dah. 05/10/2006

	Immigrants: Is there something wrong with the way people think in  America?  How can anyone think it's ok to sneak in to any  country then demand representation and all the privileges and benefits that country has to offer without following that countries laws?  I for one am in
favor of legalizing migrants that apply for legal work permits and/or citizenship, but it simply makes no sense to allow people to sneak in to America then make demands. If they can't follow America's laws, we don't want them here anyways!  05/04/2006

Immigration, illegal aliens etc, it looks simple; have every illegal alien, migrant etc register as visiting, working or as citizens of America and arrest, fine and deport the

rest.  If an employer has an illegal alien working for them (without the legal identification) fine them!   America needs to know who is living within our borders and every person and business needs to be held accountable.  I wouldn't think about hiring an illegal alien in my small business because it's illegal!   Personally I love most people from Mexico and think most are hard working, polite, happy people that are also vastly underpaid and overworked, but then again, so are Asian immigrants.   So let's give them all a chance to live in America, as long as they're legal.  Viva la/le difference!  05/02/2006

President Bush has requested an investigation in to rising gas prices.  Who does he think he's kidding?  He's from Texas!  Bush knows how gas prices work and he knows there's always a few (10% or so) that take any advantage of whomever they can, whenever they think they can get away with it.  Bush also knows the only people that can get in trouble for price hicks is the individual gas station owners, not the corporations that are making billions on the higher cost of fuel.  I personally think President Bush thinks he'll look good to the public while not losing a dime of the larger corporate campaign contributors. 04/25/2006

Gas prices around the world have more than doubled, first because of OPEC, then the war in Iraq, next the hurricanes in the US and now because of Iran latest nuclear endeavors.  So how does each event impact the rise in oil prices yet the price of oil never seems to go back down after the latest catastrophe?  04/20/2006

Someone asked me the other day why I dislike the media, well here's a few of my complaints:  1.) The press has lead us all to believe we need to take prayers out of schools and public places, yet over 80% of all Americans are Christians.   So what's wrong with nondenominational prayer in the morning?  2.)  By listening to the press one would think America is full of racism and hatred and yet the vast majority of Americans have friends that are of another race, religion etc.  3.)  The press would have you believe "freedom of speech" means any person or organization can and should say anything they want anywhere no matter whom or how many people it offends.  Well, I think "freedom of speech" is great but still needs to be controlled just like anything else.  Protesting at funerals, blocking abortion centers, harassing religious and ethnic organizations and broadcasting where our troops are located and what their plans are, including the "imbedded reporters" need to be controlled.  4.)  I'm not a Republican nor a Democrat, so it really gets me when the press pushes everything off as American's being one or the other.  Sometimes Republicans win, sometimes Democrats and occasionally Independents win, why?  It's simply, most Americans vote for the person or organization they most believe in, not along partisan lines! 04/20/2006

Supreme Court Justice David Souter issues another blow to hamper the police investigations by stating, police can not enter a building if one of the occupants object without a search without a search warrant even if the others give authorization.  More on this store....  

Comment: It's just a shame to think judges can interpret the laws anyway they want, if a person asks the police to come in to a building, I would think the police have every right to search.  So basically if a person has something to hide, they can tell the police to leave while they get rid of the evidence.  What a shame! 03/22/2006

President Bush seems like a nice guy when it comes to talking on TV, however his methods of getting things done offend everyone.  Why doesn't he use the same attitude he uses on TV with other countries, congressman etc?  It's no wonder the rest of the world hates us.  But then again, they always do until they need help.  03/12/2006

Michael Brown past head of FEMA is heading up his own disaster control prevention organization, it's amazing what TV can do for a person's ego!   It would seem that after Katrina's devastation and loss of so many lives Michael would get in a business that didn't have to risk any more lives. 1/22/2006

Judge Cashman demonstrates yet another example of why I say; judges are just people, they just act like they're Gods and wing it thinking they can get away with anything.  They're a lot like politicians, celebrities, movie stars and the media.   More, click here!  1/10/2006

Judge Alito is really none of your/ my business, no one has ever asked what I think about a supreme court justice and probably never will.  The entire process seems to be just between the President and the congress cronies.  They approve or disapprove along party lines and decide who best fits their particular interest.  Have you ever met a judge that just seemed to be a normal citizen?  I haven't. 1/11/2006 

President Bush's approval rating is now near 30% and slipping.  So what can this guy do right?  First George could care about America and take care of the issues at home.  Low paying, unskilled jobs are taking over America while our technology companies are leaving as fast as possible.  George might want to stop rubbing shoulder with his VIP buddies for a while since he can't run for another term, and maybe he should start addressing the issue of industrial plight!  Let the companies and congress know it's not ok for the companies that have made their fortunes at home to simply pack up and take our jobs, skills and welfare elsewhere.  Be a friggen leader and a true American!  Make a stand for your country!  It's simply not right to profit in America then leave to China, Indian, Malaysia, Mexico etc.  And as far as the American people, stop doing business with companies that abandon you!   Wake the heck up!

Happy Christmas, oh sorry, I forgot you aren't suppose to say that any more.  Happy Holidays, here's hoping you get exactly what you all deserve; toys man in China, a new car from Japan or Mexico, close from India or maybe even some of the great French wire.    12/09/2005 

I was listing to the radio a couple of days ago when I heard a lady say that we have a government of one.  At first I didn't think much about it, but then when I listened to what she had to say, I believe she's right.  George Bush unfortunately does and says whatever he wants and he gets whatever it is that he wants and doesn't seem to care who it offends or hurts. What's wrong with our government and how can they continue to talk badly about Bush but yet support everything he wants?  10/22/2005

Article from USA Today-Monday, Oct 17,2005

"West Virginia: Charleston - Sexual abuse of students is the No. 1 reason public school teachers have lost their licenses in West Virginia during the past five years, officials said.  Since 2000, 118 of West Virginia's 24,000 teachers permanently or temporarily lost their licenses.  Of those, 41 lost their licenses for sexual assault or abuse of a student."       Surveillance cameras  as a 'Second Presence' could protect the innocent.  With cameras placed strategically, Film dated and stored could serve to establish the truth of claims made even many years after the fact in situations of , schools, churches, nursing homes, day care, street corners, police and more.  We live in a litigious society.  Innocence needs a Second Presence for protection!  (A grandmother.)

Not to impressed with politicians, however I heard a person speak on National Public Radio (NPR) the other day and thought, this guy sounds like he not only knew what he was saying, but I even liked the way he said it.  Thought your audience might be interested in him, Barack Obama. 09/23/2005

Where was President Bush when hurricane Katrina hit?  Wasn't Louisiana and Mississippi important to him?  If you had been left on the rooftop of your home for 3 to 5 days without any assistance, wouldn't you wonder how important you really were to your country?  SHAME ON BUSH AND SHAME ON ALL OUR POLITICIANS!  09/04/2005

Gas prices getting you down?  It's not for the oil companies!  2005 will prove to be record profits for  the oil sector.  High demand, refinery accidents, and China's emerging economy are only a part of the picture.  BP, Shell, Exxon, Mobile and others are all in cahoots with each other protecting their production, shipping, refining and exorbitant profits at your expense( price fixing?)!  Oil could be sold for less than the $60.00 plus a barrel, but why should it?  They own the companies that buy their own products, then own the distribution end of things.  Many even own the gas stations, so from start to finish, they own it all!  So do something about it!  Contact your congressman and tell them to take action!  08/12/2005 ZL/CN

I watched an interview with Bernard Goldberg author of "100 People Who Are Screwing Up America" last night on TV.  I was looking forward to buying this book until I listened to his sour and often adversarial comments but then again I was disappointed with all the guests including Donny Douche.  None of the guest would allow Bernard time to answer their questions and when they did, he was rude and extremely arrogant.  One of the biggest complains I have is that none of the guest including Douche even taken the time to prepare themselves by reading the book.  What a waste of TV time and paper.

Why is Ford and GM so focused on v8 power instead of economy?  Our cars, trucks and vans can only legally go 75mph on the highway anyways.  So focus on better fuel economy and lower gear ratios for low end torque.  After all, I'd like to purchase a new vehicle, but not if it can't get better than 15mpg.  04/27/2005 BT/IN

President Bush meets with the Saudi Arabia Prince, stating the Prince knows there's a need for reasonable oil prices, he's doing everything he can.  Is this the best negotiating President Bush can do?  And how is it that we suddenly realize the US doesn't have enough oil refinery capacities to handle more oil?

Social Security needs a major overhaul, however allowing an individual or the government to control future finances is a lot like allowing Garfield to control his own lasagna. After all, the government runs a continuous deficit while over 90% of all American owe more than they earn.  So how in 'Toon-Land' do you expect either to  control retirement funds?  Maybe we should allow Goofy to do it?   02/03/2005

Deans back, what in the heck are the Democrats thinking?

4 more years of 'Bush-authoritarianism', can America take it?  With Jimmy Carter we had a chance of world peace.  With Bill Clinton we had a wishy-washy storyteller that would say one thing then do whatever he thought the people/press wanted.  With George Bush we'll all have to like things his way or leave.  (MJ/02-04-2005)

Athletes, actors and actresses, celebrities, and TV personalities seem to be America's most influential people.  So what does this say about the influence and impact of TV on our society? By the way, can you name more than one living  philosopher, scientist or chemist? (01/05/2005)

What's the real reason why the press continually criticizes President Bush?  No matter what Bush does the press is quick to say it's wrong.   Has the press ever heard of patriotism? 12/21/2004

I'm not really sure how things really work in America,  but it sure seems like we give an awfully lot of money to foreign aid and goodwill, while at the same time, millions of us live on very little.  I don't think the President, the Senate or the House of Representatives really know what it's like to live in America on a less than average household income.  I just keep hearing President Bush repeating how America sacrifice, yet all I see is how the middle to lower class families sacrifice.  I have been working for over 40 years and yet I drive around in a vehicle that's over 12 years old.  I'm also not willing to have my kids go fight battles on foreign soil while the upper class kids go off to college and move on with their couriers.  What am I missing besides money?

By the way, I just heard on NPR that some government employees are now being guaranteed to receive their average annual income once they complete 15 years of service.  How can they enact such a law when these are the same people that are cutting every other American's jobs, medical benefits and social security?   Who's representing the middle class, nobody?

Detroit Piston's Basketball game erupts, so who cares?  American athletes think they're gods anyways, this is nothing new.  After all, once an athlete turns professional, the press and fans treat them like they're gods, what are they suppose to think?  After all they didn't get to where they are because of brain power. I personally think, all the attention, prays and glory and sometime reference to "heroes," goes way beyond what the athletes deserve and/or give back to the people.  There's dollars in athletics because of the entertainment value, nothing more.  Athletes are glorified entertainers, so don't expect more out of them then they can deliver.  As far as Detroit goes, I think we should seriously think about asking Canada if they might be interested in annexing.

These surely are days of greed and the me generation. Detroit get what it gives.  tt/MI 11/23/2004

Bush wins re-election by a narrow margin!  Does this really mean as the press has been stating for the past year "America has been deeply divided?"  I think not!  As evident by the previous election, each state kept its Democratic and/or Republican majority vote.  So why does the press keep saying Kerry and Bush have this deep divide in beliefs? And what's this bunk about 60% of all Christians voted for Bush, while 70% of all non-believers voted for Kerry?  This is not reporting, it's more guess work.  How could the press really know who voted for what, they're all secret ballots, aren't they?  (11/03/2004)

Late last night one of Bush's campaign managers contacted a spokesperson in Kerry's camp asking for Kerry to formally concede the election victory to President Bush.  Kerry's people stated they were waiting for all the votes to be counted, after all, the election count was not final.  Bush's people than lashed back by stating Kerry was holding on to foolish hopes and basically wasn't in touch with reality.  My quest is, why would the morons in Bush's camp feel it necessary to contact or riddle Kerry at that time, instead of waiting until the votes were officially counted?

Personally, I'm embarrassed to be called an American at this time.  Is  Bush and Kerry the best America has to offer?  I'm embarrassed whenever I think of how many times I've watched both parties dodge question and avoid the issues, then turn to the crowd holding their thumbs high in the air as to celebrate victory.

It's sad to think that most American's can'tt point out what either party really stands for, and it's more of a shame to have to wait until we get to the voting booths to know what the really issues are.  With all the unaccountable advertising, signs, phone calls and more, it would seem like at least someone would have addressed the facts and laid them on the table for all to see.

Who runs these campaigns anyway, a bunch of rich, intellectual idiots? (11/03/2004)

Bush and Kerry met for staged debate #1, no surprise questions allowed.  I'm not a Kerry fan so it came as no surprise when I thought Bush looked and acted most like a knowledge,  home town President.  But when I watched the debates the second time, and yes I fell a sleep a few times, I began to believe the news panel; Kerry looked and sounded good especially  when he wasn't reiterating himself, which Kerry did over and over again.

I personally think we need to reunite our allies, however I also feel most of our allies are fair weather friends at best (France, Russia, Germany etc.)  Besides most countries hate us anyways unless they need aid or military support.  At the same time; I guess the U.S. does push its weight around a little too much.  In the past our political and military involvement was fairly secretively, but since Bush came to office; it's done like a bull in a China shop.  It might be that the silent method had proven to create less enemies, therefore Bush really should go back and speak with his dad about politics and public relations.  Other then this, Bush is an excellent military President, he's just out of touch with the common folks of America and the rest of the world.  Maybe we would be better off with a wishy-washy President like Kerry in office.

Fox News coverage of the Republic Convention was great up until the end of convention, when Fox News announcers  started putting down President Bush's wife and daughters for their part; speaking about their lives with President Bush.

The 2004 Democratic Convention went as well as the final balloon mishap.  The balloons didn't fall when they were suppose to and Kerry didn't deliver anything  new, just the same old political jargon he used to be against.   I don't like Bush, but I sure don't want someone in office that doesn't have a clue what he's going to propose once in office.  08/04/2004

Politics first before good old common sense and a little humor.  In a speech in Ontario California  Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed Democrats were holding up budget proposals, however all the Democrats seemed to have heard were his comment about "girlie men."  Why can't the Democrats just laugh it off and get to work for their constituents?  Details regarding Schwarzenegger's speech are listed below.

LOS ANGELES (July 19 Saturday ) - Democrats are upset by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's claims Democrats are  delaying new budget proposals by catering to special interests. Democrats protested that the remark was sexist and homophobic.  Schwarzenegger also mocked Democratic law makers by calling them "girlie men''. 

Democrats said Schwarzenegger's remarks were insulting to women and gays and distracted from budget negotiations. State Sen. Sheila Kuehl said the governor had resorted to "blatant homophobia.''  Kuehl is one of five members of the Legislature's five-member Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus.

Assemblyman Mark Leno, a San Francisco Democrat who is chairman of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Caucus, said he was glad Schwarzenegger didn't repeat the "girlie men'' remark Sunday, saying it was "as misogynist as it is anti-gay.''

"To disparage a group of law abiding tax paying citizens is just wrong,'' Leno said.

Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, a Democrat, said that while he wasn't upset by the remark, his 13-year-old daughter was.

"She's a young girl who knows the governor and really likes him a lot and didn't find the term to be a positive term, and finds it to be derogatory,'' Nunez said. "It was no question a very, very insensitive comment to make. I personally am not intimidated or threatened by it, but I think it really is beneath Gov. Schwarzenegger.''

A spokesman for the governor said no apology would be forthcoming.  Go Arnold! (07/19/2004)

Don't vote this November, let the world know we know we don't have any real leaders and get it over with.  Maybe, if other countries knew we're not all that proud of our leaders they wouldn't hate us Americans.  It's hard to believe our country can't do better then John Kerry and/or President Bush.  Take Kerry for example, he's  accomplished virtually nothing while in the Senate, in fact I had never heard of this guy until he started running for President.  While Bush, on the other hand has managed to, at one time or another, pissed-off most of the rest of the world.  Yes, I know Bush was raised as a spoiled little rich kid that was used to getting things his own way without having to answer to anyone, well, his daddy isn't there to get him out of problems any more.  And let face it, Kerry has  been completely out of touch with the Senate and for that matter, the rest of the world.  So how can we allow either of these two to represent and shape our country for the next four years?  Stop backing either of these egotistical morons and let's find a couple of real  candidates, we must have at least two don't we?   (07/09/2004)

"Nuradin Abdi of Somalia had been arrested, back in November of 2003, for plotting to blow up a mall in Columbus, Ohio.  June 16th, 2004, Nuradin appeared in court where his lawyer successfully requested Nuradin's psychiatric evaluation.  Nuradin's brother was quoted as saying "it was like he was another person."  Do you see any problem here?  I do!  For one, if I were Nuradin, I would acting crazy too, since I might be facing life in prison or the death penalty.  Besides, Nuradin is obviously being held in a country that he looks at as being the world's enemy.  If Nuradin had been picked up in one of many third world country, Nuradin could be tortured, then face a firing squad.  So, why would he be tortured there but not here?  Well, mainly we're a country of softies that turn the other cheek unless we're directly effected.  We're so used to hearing about death and destruction both here and around the world, we don't pay much attention to what it must be like for the victims surviving families.  We seem to be impervious to other's pain and suffering, yet we fight for other's protection and rights when their out to kill other innocent people.  Yes, I do believe in 'innocent until proven guilty' but I'm tired of watching us chastise our police departments, FBI, President Bush and many others who are merrily trying to protect us.  "War on terror" will never end unless we get tough, root out our enemies, press for answers and plan for the future.  I would like to ask you why are there more successful terrorist attacks in Iraq today then there were when Saddam was in power?  The answer is easy, Saddam, although crazy with power and guilty of using extreme inhuman torture against his opposition, took the offensive and routed out his enemies.  So for all of us here in the U.S., let's learn a lesson from those that have been fighting for thousands of years; take action against those that are trying to eliminate us, let's root out our enemies and where needed, do what's needed to protect all of us.  Who know, may be someday we will even take action against crime in America"  NR/FL (06/18/2004)

With Allen Greenspan's needless, repeated warning the Federal reserve is ready to raise interest rates as needed, who would need more proof of Greenspan's incompetence.  It's obvious with gas and oil prices surging worldwide, companies will have to raise their cost of goods and services to compensate for the added fuel and energy costs, and yes; we might see a few signs of economic growth here and there, but growth isn't a  bad thing, it's exactly what the U.S. needs; to help offset Mexico and China's new found economic boom.   Greenspan needs a refresher course in economics, after that, boot him out in the street so Allen can see what the U.S. economy is really like.  By the way, hasn't Greenspan ever heard of 'retirement?'  LT/MI (06/15/2004)

Jobs and security for March of 2004:  Contrary to public opinion, I believe President Bush has been doing a great job fighting terrorism.   Also Bush was right on the money regarding war on countries like Afghanistan and Iraq.  If Bush would have stood by and listened to more of the rhetoric as many of you "turn the other cheek" do nothings would have, our country would have been infiltrated by more Arab sponsored terrorist then it has.  If America continues to just turn the other cheek,  you'll just make an easier target for the terrorist.  The terrorist aren't going to take the time to come over to your house, turn their bombs off, have a cup of coffee and discus things.  Keep in mind, "you are the enemy!"  

On the other side of things, President Bush has a complete disconnect from reality when it comes to foreign trade.  His new ads say he knows exactly where America is headed and he knows exactly how to get there.  The only thing he doesn't say is "America jobs will be sacrificed in order to get there!"

Sending jobs and technology over seas is close to the stupidest thing I can think of.  I don't care if Chinese made toasters will cost less for American's, not if we're all unemployed!  I can't eat a toaster!   And I definitely will care, if we have another war and all of our technologies has to come from Arab countries that don't like us anyways.  Even our Allies aren't really Allies, they're fair-weather friends.  As long as they need us, we're great, when they don't need us, we're power mongers.  

Then again, all of us Americans are exactly what's wrong with our own country.  We buy imported goods instead of American, we hirer non-citizens because they'll work for less and they're more dependable.  At least for a while.  They also do what their employers ask without calling the NAACP, Better Business Bureau or their attorneys.  Let's face it, we are a country of selfish nearsighted egotistical goofballs that think everyone owes us a living!

If we don't watch ourselves, America might just go down in history as the shortest lived world super power!

SAIA Motor Freight and C.H. Robinson fails at both delivering products and customer support 09/20/2008

Re. FedEx Claims:  Our company shipped a package "FedEx C.O.D./Money order" for $3300.00 back on June 8th 2008.  On June 11th, 2008 FedEx brought back a unsigned $3300.00 company check that also had a 'Stop Payment' applied which makes the check  totally worthless.  Since that time we have had to call and email FedEx over 25 times and only three times have FedEx ever been courteous enough to return our calls.  So today I spoke with Ms C Walker and Ms C Robinson, both in FedEx claims (#901.348.9324,) and both informed me, even though FedEx was suppose to collect a Cashier's Check in the amount of $3300.00, FedEx will only pay a maximum of $100.00 per claim, adding "look at  the back of the FedEx form (C.O.D.  Airbill receipt which FedEx filled out and, according to Mrs Robinson, FedEx didn't need my signature in order for them not to pay.)  Details:  Issue non-endorsed check with a 'Stop Payment' applied by Ron Jiron of Inland Empire Components of California USA.

Despite Putan (President of Russia) running an authoritarian society, we Americans need to understand and accept why the majority of Russians support him, and it's also time to stop criticizing Russia for the differences they have with the USA.  Russia economy has prospered, unemployment cut in half and income has doubled and they are definitely better off today then they were 10 years ago when Putan toke office.

Russian government may not be perfect, but neither is America's.  Click me!

Solution to better economics:

There's probably only one way for Americans to bring business back to America; build things better, with unmatched quality and American pride.  After all, does the world really want or need more Chinese cheap crap that's filled with lead and doesn't do what it was represented to do?  

In most cases I would rather buy a quality item then to know I bought simply because it was the cheapest.  And regardless of what American auto manufacturers think; we buy Toyotas because of quality, not price.

Over 40% of bottled water found in stores, supermarkets and in restaurants are no different than ordinary tap water.  

I never thought I would say this, but my suggestion is, drink city water.  At least it's periodically tested and virtually germ free.  Better yet, try buying a $20 water filter, you'll have great water at a fraction of the price.

Where did all the honey bees go?  Last year as I was watching honey bees go from flower to flower, I notice a strange looking bee hovering behind the honey bees as they gathered pollen.  Suddenly the strange looking bee would fly down on the honey bees back and hold the honey bee in position for a few seconds, then fly off to do the same to other honey bees.  That by itself was strange enough, but more difficult to understand was the honey bees once let lose of by their attacker, didn't fly away, they just kept on doing their thing like nothing happened.  

My question is this; was the strange looking bee depositing a parasite on to the honey bee or stealing pollen?  And since this strange looking bee went from bee to bee could it be either contaminating the honey bees with some kind of deadly toxin or was it leaving a parasite behind to do its dirty work?  05/05/2007

Nigerian Oil is destine to hurt America's pocket book while making corporate executives record profits, and the native people of Nigeria, well they live on nearly  nothing.

What do Arab countries have in common with France?  1.) They each hate any country that has more power than they do!  2.) Each country brags, boosts and makes accusation without doing anything about the problem.  3.) Fanaticism; each allow their most wealthy to dictate terms to the less fortunate, and none care about anything other than power!  4.) Each country is run by old men that have no concern for others.

Saddam found guilty, now what?  The Iraqis have decided to hang Saddam and the US want a life sentence in prison.  For me, I'm against cruel and unusual punishment, but I'm also against America making any more demands around the world.  We should keep our noses out of other countries business unless there's a direct treat to America. 11/06/2006

Oil prices are dropping just when new oil reserves are being discovered in South American and the US looks toward Ethanol, what a coincidence!  For years I've watched the Middle East play with fuel prices while our government sites back and does nothing, and this summer I heard President Bush comment "American ingenuity will bring us through this, it always does".  Well I've only got one thing to say, "what a simple minded, do nothing statement and President!" 10/29/2006

North Korea may be able to play diplomatic games with the US, but who can't these days?  It's not the US or the UN that North Korea should be worrying about, they've successfully caught the attention of both Japan and China, and these two countries have enough resources to make a difference if not eliminated the threat. 10/10/2006

The Hezbollah seems to have outsmarted both the US and UN by helping with reconstruction, providing money and aid for those that lost in Lebanon while the US stated "that was a good idea."  All I have to say is "what the hell is wrong with our "do nothing congress" and "Johnny come lately" President?" 10/08/2006

Mexico has an economic agenda and the US is the major contributor.  With Mexico's  second most revenue coming from the US, why would Mexican President  Vicente Fox want to stop migrant workers and illegal aliens from sneaking across the boarder to America?  There's little talk about Mexico building a wall or adding additional security along US/Mexican boarders, because less migration would only cost Mexico billions.  So let's place the blame where blame is do, Mexico!  05/23/2006

Gas: The world is starting to feel the impact of rising fuel prices and they're starting to look at self indulging fat America.  The US produces 2% of the world's gasoline, but consumes 25% of  the worlds fuel.  SUVs, lack of mass transit, huge homes and luxurious living with little or no environmental policies point to the US as an example of waste, greed and over indulgence.

When you're filling up your gas hog, look in the mirror and say "self centered American." 05/03/2006

The United Nations needs to take more responsibility for world events, not only has the UN taken little or no initiative in Iraq, Iran and North Korea, but they are allowing America to appears as if it is the only world power with an agenda.  America wouldn't be in Iraq if the UN would have stepped up to the table and take proactive steps.  It's time for new leadership in the UN and America!  04/19/2006

Why do the Iraqis want the US out of Iraq?  They don't have a real military or strong police force in place and their country seems to be torn along old sectarian lines?  It would seem like the Iraqis would want the US troops to stay until things settle down a little, but then again, it would also seem like Iraq would want peace without violence instead of going around randomly killing each other. 03/23/2006

I was for the war against Saddam and his moron military, but it really is a shame President Bush didn't get the generators, water and State and local police departments up and running in Iraq as soon as we supposedly won the war.  As far as the looting, robbing, and killing, I blame this on the US and European press.  After all, if they didn't point out everything that was negative over and over again, most of us would have thought Bush was right, the war was over.  Instead the press keeps giving a blow-by-blow like it's a play-by-play only all designed to negatively portray President Bush and our military.  Have you ever heard anyone on the news talk about where the US spent its billions in Iraq, or how the young men and women in our military gave their lives for doing what they thought was their duty.  I'm personally ashamed and embarrassed to hear either the US or European press give their slanted views.  

You know, I really think the press just doesn't understand we re-elected President Bush, he wasn't assigned the job, therefore someone must have been behind him.  03/23/2006

Hamas, the new leadership in Palestine appears to be yet another giant step backward for all peaceful countries around the world and another sign of Arab extreme fanaticism.  How can any group, individual or religion think the suffering, murder and torturing of others will look good in God's eyes, including the US? 03/11/2006

The Palestinian people simply won't rest until Jerusalem belongs to them and Israel is eliminated.  Since we know what the Palestinian goals are, what should America do with/for Israel?  I personally feel Israel has been way to  concessionatory with the Palestinians.  Arafat was a pin head and represented the Palestinian people, teaching hatred and animosity whenever he wasn't pined down by the Israelis.  Bush doesn't seem to be much better when it comes to foreign public opinion, but the nice thing about America is that we bash or leaders on a regular basis and we really don't go out an kill others because of how our leaders feel, or do we?  Maybe there really is little difference, and maybe we need to sit down and re-think our polices with the Palestinians and Israel.  We need a continuing dialogue and we need the Palestinians State's economy to grow, which will in turn pay for better education, jobs and an economic life that might eventually lead to peace.  Wars, segregation, separation and illumination all only maintain the status quo which is sad and fruitless.  Good luck to the Palestinians, Israelis and America. 12/09/2005

Iran' new president recently stated Israel should be eliminated and seems to have the majority of Iranian's support.  So what are we waiting for, another 911 in Israel, England or the US?  Let's give Iran some action!  I know most of you don't have a clue as to how serious this threat is, but for me, I take it very seriously; Iran's new leader should either resign or let's give him some military attention.  I'm sick and tiered of hearing countries yelling and screaming about how bad the U.S. is and how they want to kill all of us.  You babies can sit on the side lines until someone in your family is seriously hurt by these pin heads or you can take a stand.  I for one, would rather know I'm in a fight then to have someone jabbing me in the back with a knife without know who they are or why they don't like me.  I personally don't care why they hate us, so let's face the issues and do what it takes.  Many of the Iranians would kill you or your children without any remorse, so get your head straight and face the music.  Let's give them what they want.  HT/ON 10/29/2005 

If you want to help the situation in Iraq, we need to start by helping the Iraqi's economy, they need jobs, electricity, food, trade, fuel etc.  And the world needs to realize we (the U.S.) made a mistake in stating "weapons of mass destruction."  They may or may not have had them and they may or may not have been working on the technologies, but the simple fact is Saddam wouldn't allow the inspector to do their job and continued to play games with these issues.  Saddam was repeatedly warned and the Arab world seemed to support his games.  So Saddam and his followers got what they asked for.  But this doesn't excuse the U.S. for not helping the infrastructure of Iraq and from providing jobs, food, water and education in Iraq.  

I do believe many of the people hate the U.S. and their allies, however we would probably hate them too if they had all the military and economic power.  But then again, they'd just kill us all. Jenny 09/21/2005

4 explosions in London cause injuries but no deaths. See CNN for details.  America and Great Britain should take more extreme steps against terrorist movements.  Temporality stop all trade with countries expected or implicated in terrorist activities.  This would place pressure those countries to take proactive steps.  I noticed your web site seems to be against the media in general, although I do not agree that the media is against us I do agree they should suspend all mentioning of terrorist groups claiming to take responsibility, this just furthers their cause.   07/21/2005

I was watching the Abrams Report on TV tonight (06/22/2004) as Mr. Abrams asked an expert on Al-Qa'ida which method should the U.S. take to stop Al-Qa'ida, keep searching for Al-Qa'ida members or simply just accept they'll always be around.  They both overlooked the obvious, it's the news coverage that gives our enemies all the press coverage and support they're looking for.  Each kidnapping or killing of U.S. troops are plaster on every TV channel and radio station around the world along with the group that claims responsibility.  If we just stopped publishing each Al-Qa'ida atrocity, the Al-Qa'ida wouldn't be able to let their followers know what new damage they've accomplished.  (06/22/2004)

-----

A view from one of our very troubled readers:  "Pakistan apologizes after getting caught selling nuclear information to Libya and elsewhere.  So what's going to be our reaction this time?  Nothing?  After all, how can Bush do anything?  Every time he does act or says anything negative about any country true or not, he gets bashed by the press and Democrats.  By the way, where was our intelligence on this one?  Were they on top of things like their suppose to be or did this one simply get by them like everything else?  I'm beginning to believe our Intelligence committees really aren't that intelligent, in fact even our military really isn't run as well as I thought it was.  After all, with all the new technology and money supposedly at their figure tips, why is it our soldiers are having to fight a war in the streets of Iraq instead of on the battle field?  Didn't we supposedly liberated the Iraq people?

When I think of the economic side of things like our  Federal Reserve board chairman, Allen Greenspan, this guy has never heard of being optimistic, he's doom and gloom 24/7 and he's obviously never heard of retirement.  I know that the press likes Mr. Greenspan, but why?  Is it the negativity they like?  He's always been way to late when it came to reducing the interest rates and now his pre-mature talks about raising the reserve rates are confusing at best and terrible for our economic recovery.  Personally, I'm glad to see the Yen and Euro high, now may be some of these countries will start purchasing more from the U.S., which helps our economy.  Of course we still have time for Greenspan to ruin it.  So let's wait and see how long it takes for him to start the interest hicks.

We are a country of mismatched state laws, most state governments, police departments and intelligence gathering agencies won't or can't share data with each other.  At the same time our country has a history of crime and yet, always opted for "early out" jail sentences  just to save a buck.  It also seems that only our politicians, lawmakers, movie and sports stars receive fair treatment when it comes to the occasional brush with the law.  Not to change the subject but what's with all the junk on TV?  The violence, sex and continuous beeping out of the way-to-often swear words.  This can't be good for the moral fiber of our country, if there is such a thing any more..

Even President Bush's "no child left behind" isn't working, unless we do like they did in Texas, lower the grade standards.  If we're not careful, we won't have any schools receiving government aid.  After all, it's exactly these intercity schools that aren't getting the needed grades, education and environment, and yet they'll be the first to be cut.  Personally, I know my kids do twice the homework as I used to have to do when I was a kid, and what's funny is the school system has sent numerous notes home demanding parents spend more time helping their children with homework and taking a more of an active part in school programs.  Do they forget that as parents, we not only help with homework each night, but we need to get some sleep to be able to work the next day and pay for our homes, car, utility, college education fund, charge card payment and retirement, if there is such a thing as retirement.  Don't get me wrong, I'm all for helping our children whenever possible.  Unfortunately when your children reach high school, most parents aren't able to help.   Which brings me to my next point, college tuitions, how can the average pay rate decrease as people are having to work for less pay, while school tuitions keep rising?  Do the people that run these colleges know anything about the current economic woes?  I sometimes think their totally out of the loop.  You never hear about any college president, instructor or coach taking a pay cut because of lowering funding, yet you hear how the colleges cut library hours, raise tuition and keep on building these multi-million dollar sports and tech centers.  If I have to take a cut in pay, so should these profs! 

You know, even our inter-cities aren't safe.  Whenever you travel you're warned to watch out for certain areas in just about any big town or city.  Most of this is because our poor are getting poorer, while we're giving millions away to countries that hate us.

I'm sorry that I've rambled on, and I don't expect you to print all this, but I just don't see a lot of good in what we, as a country are doing."  OB/AL (02/09/2004)

AOL just keeps on scamming people.  I've called AOL numerous time trying to drop their service, yet each time I speak with their "specialist" they give me this bunk about not being able to credit more than 3 months back, at the same time they switch me from one "specialist" to another until they either hang up or disconnect.  Even my credit card company (Chase) seems to be in on this game, Chase won't go back more than 3 months  even though I've called and mailed both AOL and Chase demanding AOL not charge my credit card long ago.  How in the hell can I get off of AOL and get my money back? 11/22/2004 Michigan

AOL has scammed me for the last time; each time I ask AOL to drop their service, they either find a way of disconnect, or they  insist I accept 2 or 3 months for free hoping I later forget how much I dislike them.  AOL simply won't disconnect as I've asked numerous times.  What can I do? 08/19/2004 JL

2005 Jeep Wranglers and Jeep Robicon are no more road worthy when compared to other current model vehicles then the old 1975 Jeep CJ5s and CJ7s were.  The 2005 Jeep Wranglers and Jeep Rubicon ride and handle terribly while offering some of the worse fuel economy of any 2500 lb vehicle, about 11-14mpg highway!   Maybe Chrysler should just have Japan take over their manufacturing.  ST/CA (06/15/2004)

SEC complaint against Scottrade 2004

-----

Scottrade.com advertises $7.00 trades yet they charge up to 75% more ($12.00,) while not answering their support emails!  Also, their new Java streamer is suppose to replace the older streamer, however it just doesn't work on my computer.  I've called Scottrade over and over yet they simply do nothing.  What can I do and why isn't their a regulatory agency that oversees companies like Scottrade and E-trade?  (01/15/2004)

-----

Scottrade.com, I placed a 'buy', later in the day; I canceled it.  The following day I was notified that Scottrade made the purchase and I owed them $9,000.00 for over purchasing with my account while using their system.  When I explained about canceling, Scottrade said "that the breaks," they are not responsible for their software, "did you read the disclaimer when you joined?  You owe Scottrade $9,000.00."  Reporting this to the S.E.C. did nothing, the S.E.C. stated Scottrade should take care of the purchase at no cost to me, however the S.E.C couldn't make them do anything.

AT&T:

After 14 years of business, I finally added a second line to my home and changed my AT&T phone service from my business to my home (remote call forwarding AT&T calls it) only to start receiving collection letters and over 10 calls from Alliance Collection Legal Service which identifies themselves as attorneys representing AT&T (none of which could speak English and not one had records of past conversationsith them regarding the "remote call forwarding.  Then finally after two months of emailing, calling and writing AT&T, finally I was told the collection company should stop calling within the next two weeks.

What a bunch of B.S., AT&T has no accountability to anyone and their foreign attorneys need a lesson on how to talk to AT&T customers without threatening and yelling about something they knew nothing about.

AT&T: 

HK Inventory, www.HKInventory.com, WARNING: DON'T PAY UP FRONT UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF!  Our company has posted about 50 products we're looking for at HKInventory.com.  off of our HKInventory listing we have received  hundreds of suppliers that claimed to have the exact product at great prices.    Unfortunately 100% of the offers ended up being B.S., and not one could deliver the products as agreed, while over 95% of the suppliers wanted to change the payment options as they went along and all ended up wanting T/T electronic funds transfer in advance, without offering security other than the normal "trust us".    In the end, and after wasting 90 days, not one of the companies actually had the parts.

As far as our company is concerned, HKInventory.com should be removed from the Internet, what a complete waste of time!  We've never seen such a bunch of con artist.

I've heard one of our airline companies (I think it's Delta Airlines)  might be coming out of bankruptcy early.  All Delta needs to do is void all their existing stock leaving John Q Public holding stocks worth nothing, in favor of a new stock offering which will be given to each of the commercial lending institutions that helped bail out the airlines.  Wow, that sounds normal for corporate American, what a great idea!  After all, the little investors can't lose much, they don't have much, right? 05/08/2007

National Public Radio (NPR) used to be my favorite radio station to listen to, at least up until about 6PM when they turn the station over to a group of anti-whites.  I really have to wonder how many hundred years has to go by before the Afro-American/Blacks or whatever will stop blaming Whites for everything wrong in their life.  Personally this reminds me of someone with an ex-wife or ex-husband, and every time you see them, they complain about their ex.  Enough already, stop the B.S. and move on!

Classic case of unfairness in America's legal system: Why is it that if a congressman, policy office or highway worker are killed, the world is on a full scale alert, but when you or I or our children have a crime committed against us, it takes months and in many times years to get any results?

Overcharging on collect calls from International Satellite Communications while staying at Barcelo Hotels in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic 05/10/2006

Regarding Zero Plus Dialing, Inc. / International Satellite Communications.  My family and I  took an AppleVacation "all inclusive vacation" to Barcelo Ixtapa Beach Resorts.   I must say initially I was impressed with the arrangement made by AppleVacation.  The flight was great, the ride to Barcelo Ixtapa Beach Resort and their services were definitely outstanding.  Great people!  And I wished my story ended here, but of course it doesn't.  While staying at Barcelo Ixtapa Beach Resorts I was told I needed to call home.  Before calling my wife said I should ask how much the call was because she has heard of many travelers being bilked out their money calling long distance.  So I did.  Initially I asked the Bell Hop at the front entrance of Barcelo, he thought it should cost about $5.00 American money, from there I went back to the room and spoke to my wife and was told to call the front desk or operator.  So I did.  Here again they felt it wasn't much and said I wouldn't have any problems.  So I called and spoke to my son for 7 minutes.  Guess what?  That 7 minute call cost me $58.66!  I was shocked, so I call International Satellite Communication Services and was read a prepared statement ending by stating I could contest the call through our local phone company but the hotel nor International Satellite Communication would offer or make any reductions.  My point is, there's a thief in every country, town and office, this thief has cost AppleVacation, Barcelo Ixtapa Beach Resorts and International Satellite Communications services my business.

You can't make money by cheating people and I'll remember not to do business with any of these thieves in the future.  Pirates at Zero Plus Dialing, Inc. (1-888-502-0734 and 1-800-460-0756.)  05/23/2005 JT/MI

Bankruptcy:  Stop allowing business and individuals the legal loopholes of bankruptcy.  All profiting parties should be held  financially responsible until the total amount of money is replayed.  Many Corporations, LLC, Inc and individually use bankruptcy court to simply and painlessly wipe out old debt, then start out fresh which hurts everyone that has extended them credit in good faith.  If you have a debt, PAY IT!

Complaint against Citizens Insurance Company:  I called my "local" Citizens Insurance agency asking what my policies covered, a week later I received a phone message that they had been trying to contact me.  So I called again, this time my representative was out to lunch, so I waited.  Never did get a return call, but I did receive a cancellation notice.  When I tried to go online to Citizens there was no contact information or method of making an online payment, next I called Citizens but there was no option to speak with a real person.  So now I'm stuck with expired insurance, an overdue payment and possibly a State penalty for not carrying proper insurance.  This is just another sign of big business not knowing how to run a business.  They might be worth millions but they'll have to do without my money.   Is there an insurance company that really do care about their customers?  02/14/2005

1.) It's easy, stop handing out money to those that have proven they don't know what to do with it. 

2.) No new taxation, which can only cripple the already ailing economy. Besides, most State and government offices have already proven they don't know what a budget is for.

3.) No more bailouts of American financial institutions or American auto manufactures that haven't a clue as to how they got in the mess their in.

4.) GET RID OF THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP!

5.) Tell the American people to get their shit together, take pride in their work, be on time, work late, get the job done right and quit complaining! After all, if things are made better, people will buy them, right GM, Ford and Chrysler? Well, between those three no ones listening anyways.

6.) Train government employees how to do their job before you release them on the people and make sure they can communicate in English! You might even teach them how to listen and take notes so when you end the conversation they actually will have something to look back on, especially since most of them don't seem to have a clue.

7. Stop listening to Ben Bernanke.

8. No more hiring incompetent people in government related positions. After all, why should I be placed on hold for an hour only to eventually speak with someone that didn't finish high school, and yet their controlling my life, future and welfare?

9. Don't allow any more government stimulus packages, especially if you're going to turn around an tell everyonje not to use if for their debt. What are you trying to teach people? If you really want to help out, create long term jobs with regular paychecks, health insurance and retirement. Let's take pride in what we do and get paid for it, I don't want a hand out, I just want a good job!

10. One of the most simple reason to get people employed is when you pay a person, their taxed, when they buy things the government collects more tax, when the people that got paid receive income, the government again receives taxes. Get the picture? Nearly 99% of every dollar paid to a person is collected in taxes during the next 12 months.

11. Print all the money we need, after all, China does.

05/15/2007 Exxon-Mobile boycott, might work! It has been suggested that if the general public were to participate in a boycott of all Exxon-Mobile supplied gas stations it would have little or no effect on the price of gas. I fail to understand how a significant decrease in their sales volume would fail to get their attention. The public would need to know all the names under which their product is sold. I would willing play my part in such an action, would you? Someone should provide a state by state list of all retail points of sale for gasoline produced by Exxon-Mobile.

01/2007

1.) President Bush and Congress is out of touch with the world today.
2.) Congress no longer represents middle class America viewpoints.
3.) TV news station no longer report the news, each has an agenda, and their agenda is to make you think and support those that support their interest.
4.) TV program concentrate on abnormal life in America which bends our personal viewpoint into thinking these abnormalities are normal and acceptable in America.
5.) Middle class people pay the bulk of our taxes, bare the burden of sending their children off to foreign wars, do all of what's left of labor in America, while the upper classes control who's in office and what the future of the middle class will be.
6.) Contributions from special interest groups, large corporations and the upper-class/wealthiest of Americans illuminate the need for anyone in power to attend to the average American's needs.
7.) Every President, congressman, executive in America has healthcare, why don't you?
