Quote From the Past
Subject:"I Like Ike"
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things.
Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.²
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1952

Today's Headlines, and what they really mean.
If we take a clear eye to the headlines today, we have to give some credit to the SF Chronicle for at least dancing near the real stories.
For example, the top headline today "UC, Bechtel Team up for Nuclear Bid" (Here's the link: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/05/12/UCLABS.TMP
The news here really is "Bush Government continues to transfer the nation's wealth from the private sector, in this case, academia, to the military industrial complex" --So buy more bechthel, northrup, or martin lockheed stock today...
Or, the next headline: Tally of civilian deaths depends on who's counting" (link:) http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/05/12/MNG9UCML2E59.DTL
The real news is "Thousands, most likely more than 100,000 innocent civilians, have paid the price of death as a result of the US war in Iraq. The question has to be, is this the price of democracy? and why is a country like the US making those decisions?
We have to give the chronicle credit for at least dancing very close to the real questions we should be having vigorous public discourse on.

Isn't It Strange?
If you listened to our govinators' fine speach last tuesday, you heard a great example of the power of oratory...
but isn't it strange, that this supposedly "populist" politician really targeted only two groups as the targets for bringing control to the chaos of the california government budget. the cure for our budget woes are teachers, and public servants' pensions.
How is it we have gotten to a place in this country and in this state, where the people rise up, vote in a candidate who pledges to represent "the people", who then gets in office and goes after the security and lifestyle of the those with the least to give?
We seem to be riding a tide where every government initiative, federal or state, is designed to deminish the economic foundation of the rapidily shrinking middle class. the data says clearly that a few wealthy people are getting more and more of the wealth of this great country, while the rest of us are still trying to make it between paychecks, send our kids to school, all while we earn less and less time and resource to live healthy, happy, and secure lives.
How can this be? why would the electorate vote continue to vote for tickets that are sponsored and designed by the wealthy few.
how could our governor say with a straight face that it's up to teachers, cops, and other hardworking government employees to give up even more to balance the billions and billions of mismanaged dollars our representatives have doled out the wealthy few?
