In this issue, we focus on two important aspects of our country’s welfare. Of primary concern is our government’s use of horrible weapons for the destruction of civilians. This is covered in detail in our Reality Show for this date. These actions are without any doubt crimes against humanity and their use demonstrates to one and all the blatant inhumanity of Bush, Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their cohorts. Their barbarous acts in Fallujah and other area of Iraq were completely unnecessary and were based only on vengeance and spite . . . on showing the Iraq people “who’s the boss.” These acts are also crimes against the American people because they were done in the name of America, in the names of all of us. Anyone who can look at the photographs on Reality Show and feel that this is how they want democracy spread ANYWHERE, has a great deal of self-searching to do. We have reached the limit of what we can tolerate in the name of the Bush and Company version of democracy. They must go. Of secondary concern this issue is the activity of “super” corporations such as Wal-Mart, activity that outsources the very economic substance and vitality from our small communities. Wal-Mart and like valueless economic giants perform as economic leeches, sucking the vitality out of individual small enterprises, the economic foundations of our country. These immoral giants feast on an endless supply of economic “blood” shed by the small business failures they cause. They imprison communities by lowering the wage standards of those communities and then using profits drained from the communities to fight attempts by the people of the communities to organize for better working conditions and higher wages. This downward spiral results in further corporate dominance. And that is their goal. Resist them at all costs or America will become another Soviet Union only under a different name, wherein people will become hopelessly dull and drab objects existing for the good of the State. |
