This is very sad.... what this country has come to being....

I was looking at LBN and saw these two stories one above the other.
Our infrastructure is failing us and they are spending multibillions on a new spy satellite.
Wonder how other countries manage to insure the health of their citizens? Hint: No multibillion spy satellites.
When are we going to join the rest of the world?

BTW here's those two stories:

2. & this comes on the heels of major screw up on the last big satellite

3. we worship youth, we worship riches, we worship power...

and mostly, we worship george bush, junyer! And that is very disturbing. Yes, junyer is a brilliant, darn-the-torpoedoes world statesman who has achieved everything he set out to, and it's conceded that the president has redefined 'rock star' popularity, but really...the man's a 3rd rate hack bullyboy who needs help to wipe his own arse...and he has possibly bankrupted the richest, most powerful political entity in human history, ie the USA, and has entrenched petty criminal morality as it's highest, most trustworthy virtue! Anyone could have done that, if they were depraved enough!
