Some things that have happened very recently that stand out in my mind, and make me very uncomfortable knowing that these people are in charge of our government.

Vice President Dick Cheney shoots a fellow hunter (78 year old lawyer Harry Whittington) while hunting birds. Ever heard of muzzle awareness? Cheney obviously has not. It is basically paying attention to what your gun is aiming at. Also, wouldnt it be nice if those who are in charge also followed the rules that we are supposed to follow? Vice President Cheney was missing a $7 stamp allowing him to shoot upland game birds. Luckily for him, he had all the correct permits to hunt in Texas, minus the $7 stamp. I wonder how much the stamp is to shoot at lawyers? Find more info here.

Millions of dollars meant for Katrina aid ended up being spent on tattoos, beachfront condos, 10,000+ mobile homes stuck in the mud and unusable, condoms blah blah blah. Read more here.

And of course, the whole “why are we in the Middle East” question. The question about wiretapping and how much of our freedom needs to be removed to stay free? The questions about our dependance on oil and petroleum products vs. the industry preventing other means of energy and fuel to be either developed or released to the public.

I lost my momentum here, comments?
