Real Heavy Politics: jail the bankers

I have long said `there are WAY too many cops' - and finally - our Great Recession is proving the obvious. http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/penny-pinching-towns-put-police-out-to-pasture/19550879

Meanwhile - Confidence in Obama reaches new low, Washington Post-ABC News poll finds - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/12/AR2010071205453.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&sub=AR

Meanwhile - 1500 Bankers went to Jail After the S&L Crisis. Almost None Today - http://www.zcommunications.org/wall-street-criminals-by-danny-schechter

After 100's of thousands refused to pay the tickets - Freeway speed cameras to be turned off this week - http://www.azfamily.com/outbound-feeds/yahoo-news/Freeway-speed-cameras-to-be-turned-off-this-week-98237994.html

Thanks for reading today and thanks for the support by Reddit users on my last post about protesting in public. Appreciated.

Progress

Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You can’t have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were too uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a man’s worth couldn’t be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorney or politicians, therefore we couldn’t cheat. We were in a really bad way before the white man came, and I don’t know how we managed to get along without the basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilized society.

Is This The White Culture That Glenn Beck Meant To Defend?

"White Culture? This is the euro wig wearing foundations of the country called America. The big money player/plantation owners (WashAdJefMadMon...) who were interested in the milk & honey land grab. It evolved into the railway manifest destiny profit mongering pilfering of more land. Savages just a bit above a beast to be removed to a reservation. Their sacred land? A fitting place to carve the figure heads of these white so called "leaders". Morphing into the slimy oil gas industrialists(white men) who further destroy any natural habitat with more greed and profit as "the american way". This is the "white culture" of suit and tie all powerful businessmen who chainsaw 1,000 year old redwood trees for a patio deck to prop their fat white ass on and sip martinis after a nice round of golf sprayed with pesticide to keep it green and thus our 2000 year old dilemma, the roots of this so called great "civilized" Greco-Roman culture that rolls on its destructive course of zero collecting profit making at the expense of anything sane! This in my opinion is "White Culture".
