Too much

I am getting overloaded, trying to keep up with all that's going on today. I've got no time any more to get anything done, for a lot of reading. Lynne Stewart getting 28 months for treason, a crime punishable by death. NO wonder no one is afradi to break laws. A killer was put to death, after 20 years of appeals and wasting court time and money. Congress had to pass a law allowing the military to question prisoners of war. The POWs in questions are enemy combatants who were captured while fighting out of uniform, not as part of a country's armed forces. That makes them, I think, spies, without any rights at all! Aiding and abetting enemy's of the United States. Get all the information we can out of them, line 'em up and shoot 'em. If the United States were to be invaded, and private citizens were to take up their hunting arms and fight the invasion, they would be treated no differently. They would be rounded up and publicly executed as an example to any others who may entertain thoughts of defying the conquerers. Afghanistan and it's Taliban leadership were harbouring enemies of the United States, which made them a legal target for US armed forces. Ditto Iraq. Iran should be next, then Syria and our so called friends, Saudi Arabia. Though, I think, the Saudis would be likely to surrender without a fight, as they love their money more than they love their religion.
North Korea also needs a good old fashioned spanking. Invade, execute Kim Jong Il for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and retrain the people of North Korea to appreciate the advantages of a democratic, free market life. Convert them to Christianity while we're at it.
Put the child abusers away. Lock 'em up in mental institutions if need be. A lot of them will be easy to find, just check the membership rolls at NAMBLA. Outlaw NAMBLA at the same time, as an illegal organization.
Institute new definitions of free speech. Return free speech to that which the founding fathers meant it to be, the freedom to express dissenting opinion without fear of arrest. Pornography is not free speech. Hate speech is not free speech. Free speech is the Minutemen being allowed to present their views without being interrupted by a mad mob. Free speech is those that disagree with the viewpoint of the Minutemen being allowed to present their side in a fair, peaceful, and above all intelligent and intelligible manner. A sreaming mob is not exercising its right to free speech, it is denying the other the right to free speech. Pornography is not free speech, or is it. What view point is the publisher of Playboy or Hustler trying to present with a picture of a naked woman in a provocative pose? The only view point I could ever see there is that women are nothing but sexual playthings, to be used and thrown away.
The European Union is trying to regulate video blogging now. They need to have their grubby little paws in everything that the people of Europe do. Another symptom of the same problem is the loss of jobs at the BenQ plant in Germany. The EU needs to be reduced severely in size, along with the governments of the various countries in Europe. The labor unions need to be dissolved, or severely limited in their powers. The European Social states and the unions constant demands for higher wages and shorted working hours are bankrupting every major corporation and small business on the continent. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the whole continent is in a massive depression. The unemployment rate is over 10% already. The only companies left are those that depend on technology available only in Europe. I think they'd all go to America, if there were enough potential employees there, but with unemployment figures under 5%, they'd never find enough qualified people. As it is, a lot of work is outsourced to countries with lower wages.
It would be better if a freeer market existed in Europe, one which would allow companies to pay their employees market wages. I believe this would lead to higher employment and reduce demands on the social state, allowing them to reduce taxes (as if they would), and make a better business environment. The idea that everyone has a right to medical care needs to be abandoned. No country in the world can afford, and trying to, as they are doing in Europe, leads only to reduces quality of care, low wages and long working hours for physicians, and long waits for care. It has already gone so far in some countries, that elderly are refused some types of care, or are euthanized, because it is no longer "worth it" to continue to take care of them.
European gun laws make me sick. To deny me the right to go and buy a gun for my personal protection and pleasure (I love target shooting) is unreasonable. I do not believe that allowing everyone to own guns would cause a blood bath. It is a matter of education and of moral values.
