Lucky

There is no doubt in my mind that we have been extremely lucky not to have suffered additional attacks after the World Trade Center was destroyed and the Pentagon was damaged. You see, our borders still aren't safe from people who simply just walk into the territory of the United States of America.

As a matter of fact, from a distance, an Arab or a Mexican and/or Latino look just about the same. Then again, I wonder how many of the dozens of forest fires within our Country, that destroyed more than 2 million aces of trees, were man made or as a result of natural causes? Your guess is as good as mine.

Deadly products and contaminated foods are still getting into our Country. The latest that I know of are the hot peppers that killed a few people and made hundreds really sick. The FDA first blamed the tomato growers in the United States before they discovered that those imported hot peppers was the cause.

The fact is that sick people picked or otherwise hamdled that food product before it was sold to us. I wonder how many people in Mezico got sick after they ate those peppers?

Clearly, the Department of Homeland Security isn't doing the job that it was created to do. Neither is the Federal Drug Administration, the Department of Immigration and Naturalization and the Congress of the United States of America. Our Congress is supposed to allocate enough money for the funding of those very important branches of our Government but it is quite clear to me that isn't the case.

As a matter of fact, the members of the Congress of the United States of Anerica can't even stop the loss of our jobs to Foreigners within Foreign Countries. It seem to me that the majority of those people are nothing more than the bank-rolled "Yes People" of the owners and the controllers of those multinational corporations.

Maybe that is why the policies of the Republican Party have failed and continue to fail to serve the needs of the majority of "We People of the United States of America?

For your information, one of the suicide groups on 9/11 were in a plane that didn't take off on that day, and those Arabs escaped and left behind evidence that linked them to the attacks. Yes, that group of people is still at large within our Country.

Clearly, we have been lucky so far, but at the same time, tons of illegal, deadly, and additive drugs, thousands of illegal aliens, harmful products and poisoned food still arrive at our borders and get into our Country each day. From my point of view, that is despicable.

It is quite clear to me that we need a new batch of elected politicians who will be more responsive to the needs of the majority. Who will you vote for in 2008? More important, who will you vote out of Public Office in 2008?
