TWO MORE WAYS THE US GOVERNMENT IS SCREWING US

First off, the Senate has decided it won't be investigating Bush's wiretapping program. The following comes from [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/16/politics/16cnd-nsa.html?ei=5065&en=d0c5458541016009&ex=1140757200&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print|a February 16, 2006 article] at NYT:

The Senate Intelligence Committee decided today not to investigate President Bush's domestic surveillance program, at least for the time being.

"I believe that such an investigation is currently unwarranted and would be detrimental to this highly classified program," Senator Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas and chairman of the panel, said this afternoon following a closed session.

HOLY FUCK--so, this "possibly" illegal program is too "Top Secret" to be investigated??

If there is a better example of total bullshit in government, I can't think of it.

The Senate has now shown itself to be completely and utter without morals and worse--without any checks and/or balances. When a crime appears to have been committed not investigating it is another crime.

Every single Senator who did not fight for this investigation to happen is violating the public trust and should be impeached.

If that's not bad enough, the following excerpt comes from [http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article345926.ece|February 17, 2006 article] at http://news.independent.co.uk and it talks about how the United States Government is trying to screw the world:

A satellite study of the Greenland ice cap shows that it is melting far faster than scientists had feared - twice as much ice is going into the sea as it was five years ago. The implications for rising sea levels - and climate change - could be dramatic.

Yet, a few weeks ago, when I - a Nasa climate scientist - tried to talk to the media about these issues following a lecture I had given calling for prompt reductions in the emission of greenhouse gases, the Nasa public affairs team - staffed by political appointees from the Bush administration - tried to stop me doing so. I was not happy with that, and I ignored the restrictions. The first line of Nasa's mission is to understand and protect the planet.

Yeah, that article was written by Jim Hansen--a scientist for NASA.

So, the planet is slowly becoming less hospitable for we humans to live on and the Bush Administration doesn't want the world to know about it.

OK, now would be a good time for the world to unite against us, I think. Especially since we Americans can't seem to give enough of a fuck to stand up to our own government.
