They are holding a hearing on cyber security on Capitol Hill, and they discussed the Chinese company ZTE Telecom as a possible threat to USA security. My cell phone is a ZTE!!!

Who Killed Bobby?: The Unsolved Murder of Robert F. Kennedy - Shane O'Sullivan - Google Books

What do these three have in common? Could it be the similarities concerning social welfare? Could it be the enormous costs involved? Could it perhaps, be the attempt to address issues the citizenry is faced with? ~OR~ Could it be this: "Social Security was...

The following political satire or fairy tale of mine mirrors the problems of takeover, mutual investments and trade relations between the US and China. Once upon a time a farmer and his wife were carrying an old broken table to a garbage dump at a nearby forest. On the way, they met a man who...

I oppose force. I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't like force. Yet, the federal government feels it is necessary to take money from your paycheck every payday to fund Social Security, a mandatory retirement program you have to take part in. Personally, I don't expect Social Security to be...

Lot's of things are amazing in our present day society. But none more than the cap on paying Social Security taxes. Social Security taxes don't apply to income over $110,000/year. Does anybody see the logic in that ? If we made all income subject to Social Security tax, there would be...

In a speech at West Point earlier today, President Obama stressed that more countries need to work together in order to defeat security threats and that the United States can not be the sole one acting. The speech gives some foreshadowing to what could be in Obama's National Security Strategy...

After the attempted Christmas bombing, a lot of scrutiny has been put on national security. The TSA has tightened airport security and soon we are going to be virtually strip searched with the new body imaging machines. These days it feels like the airport is a constitution-free zone...

For those of you that think that a comprehensive national health system will bring about the total destruction of life in America as we know it, I'd like your opinions on these other institutions. One of them is actually a national health system, one of them is a direct transfer of wealth, and...

Patriot Act. FISA. With all these bills that increase the power of law enforcement, which do you prefer. Living in a society where an increased risk of danger, however also having absolute freedoms of your privacy. Living in a society that is safer but your activities are more...
