Moderates in Israel and Palestine could accept each other's right to exist. Or we could accept the self-fulfilling Armageddonist prophecies of fundamentalist meddlers from the USA and Iran. People in the Middle East do not want to be manipulated by evil morons like Bush.

U.S. police state: "At midyear 2005, nearly 4.7 percent of black males were in prison or jail, compared to 1.9 percent of Hispanic males, and 0.7 percent of white males. Among males in their late 20s, nearly 12 percent of black males, compared to 3.9 percent of Hispanic males and 1.7 percent of white males, were incarcerated" -BJS.

The majority of U.S. prisoners are there due to the drug war!

Jonathan Magbie. The brutal U.S. prison state continues via the institutional racism of both the drug war and cannabis/drug reformers. Universal healthcare and harm reduction are preferable. Holland's safe cannabis cafes. Also; safe prescription heroin/cocaine using the Swiss bureaucratic model of addict registration, counseling, and paperwork. It takes the attractive gangster glamour out of addictive hard drug use. People live long enough to quit on their own. Swiss property crime rates have plummeted where implemented. Healthcare, welfare, workfare, and higher minimum wages cost less than prisons, courts, and police to control neighborhoods ruined by the drug trade. Many cops are against the drug war. Support LEAP.

The U.S. trains, equips, and finances racist drug-war death squads, as against the Akha in Thailand.

Abu Ghraib = racist Phoenix Program terror.

World sanctions against bigoted, U.S.-aided, Israeli occupation terror and apartheid will end the world war. No justice, no peace!

Stop corporatist Republicrat EVIL! The Texas Big Oil, Petrochemical-Pharmaceutical Complex!

Racist Texas leads the world with 4.6% of Texas adults in prison or jail, or on probation or parole!

"Nearly half a million people are now behind bars [in USA] for non-violent drug law violations -- that's more than all of Western Europe, with a larger population, incarcerates for everything!" - Drug Policy Alliance. Sept. 2003 mail.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." ~ An anonymous analysis of Benito Mussolini's fascism in Italy.

Thomas Jefferson to George Logan, 1816: "I hope we shall... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Corporatism quotes.

Most of the world's problems could be solved by lowering the Earth's population over time. One child per woman would achieve this. Nations with high population density (as in China, India, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, Holland, Germany, England) are experiencing severe problems.

In the meantime the citizens of most nations would do better, and be happier, if they had sustainable, livable economies with universal single-payer healthcare (which costs less due to preventive medicine), higher minimum wages (which lessens boom/bust cycles), and graduated taxation and lower overall taxes (recycles wealth without over-taxation).

Save U.S. soldiers' lives by withdrawing to a few big bases in Kurdistan and Kuwait where U.S. protection is welcome. This will also protect the world's oil supplies, and lower tensions greatly. Let Iraqis run Iraq.

"The most recent evidence comes from autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S. custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force injuries.' ... A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke [spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support at 63 percent. A month after Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the revelations." -Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36.

Axis of EVIL: USA, Israel, and Iran are wannabe theocracies. U.S. drug-war ads say drugs fund terrorism. The truth is that people like EVIL Texan, Armageddonist, George W. Bush support the funding and arming of EVIL fundamentalist Israeli settler expansion, terrorism, land theft, and murder of people like American Rachel Corrie (photo higher up) in Gaza and the West Bank in occupied Palestine. It is an EVIL Bush-led, fundamentalist, U.S. Death Cult of Big Oil! Working with hate radio, hate TV, and the disinfo of EVIL moron pundits at Fox News and much of corporatist Big Media.

=============

*** "How easy it is to pretend you are generous when spending someone else money."

Yeah, the bosses that pretend they are being generous paying the minimum wage when their money comes from the efforts of their laborers. Yeah, the bosses who act like entrepreneurs when they make business investments oftentimes paid for out of their inheritance.

*** "People who have everything given to them attach no value to the gifts. You just have to step on to any reserve to know what I mean there. Give a kid a bicycle and see how fast it falls apart."

Yup. Inherited wealth.

*** "Pretty soon the kept people are belly-aching that they don't get enough support to keep them in a lifestyle that would be the envy of any third world resident."

Yup. Wannabes who wish they had inherited wealth, and people who actually have inherited wealth. Oh how the rich and the corporate welfare receivers whine.

It is not complicated. A good economy does not depend on privileged elitist Libertarian whiners, nor on privileged Communist Party member whiners.

A good economy depends on money being paid to the poor and middle class through strong unions demanding high wages and reasonable minimum wages. Also on progressive taxation that makes the privileged pay more than those less privileged.

As long as the money is recycled the economy rolls on strong. And as long as the government gets as little of that money as possible. Excepting single-payer privatized universal healthcare of course.

Trickle-up economics works a lot better than whiny trickle-down economics.

When the NDP stops giving the money to the government, and when the Conservatives stop giving the money to the rich, then progress will be made.

A union of the NDP and the Greens (such as Jim Harris) might actually best accomplish that goal. If the egos of the leaders could get out of the way. They could forge a progressive party just as big as the relatively-new Conservative Party coalition.

The only problem with the NDP is that they don't want to cut total taxes as a percentage of the economy. They want to maintain the status quo.

But that is better than the Conservatives who want to make people poorer. As in the USA where middle-class wages are no longer keeping up with inflation.

The NDP increases middle class wages.

The Conservatives rob the middle class. All while whining every step of the way.

The whiners versus the workers.

1925 to 1977 incarceration rates are estimates based on prison rates. 1925 to 1977 jail rates are estimated to be 50% of prison rates. The 2 rates are added together to get the 1925-77 incarceration rate. High* and low rates are shown for 1925-77. See endnotes.

Bold Evil Morons with power.
The false prophets of the fundamentalist and corporatist slave herds.
Morpheus: "It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." Neo: "What truth?" Morpheus: "That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you can not smell or taste or touch. A prison - for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends. You wake up in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember! All I am offering is the truth. Nothing more." -- From the 1999 movie, The Matrix.
