Keep and bear this in mind; In June 2008, the Supreme Court upheld the right to keep and bear arms as an individual constitutional right. Preventing people with a concealed carry license from entering National Parks would then be, by extension, illegal and unconstitutional. I'm glad to see some justice finally for those who follow the law and value the freedoms recognized in the Bill of Rights. Hurray for freedom(!) and pass the ammunition...if you can find any!

Have more G20 meetings with caviar and truffles for the inebriated bloated global economic wizards of Oz. Promise that "help is on the way", then send the loot to secret foreign banks. Require no accountability for the Fed and the banksters who Madoffed the jobless, now homeless masses. Tax the hell out of everyone who has any wealth left and create hyper inflation by printing more coupons with more zeros and use them like they were actually real money to give the illusion of normalcy.
Wow, good thing these are all top priority for govt, or we might suffer a catastrophic financial melt-down, not merely a downturn.

Wow, I think we see a pattern here. NK threatens, gets attention, gets what it wants, then threatens again, while the west sucks its collective thumb about the need for more dialogue.

Savage has my vote. Long live free speech!! Such selective nilly-willy intolerance from the Brits. I can understand why my ancestors fought the War of Independence. Europe tolerates the intolerance of the homofascists and the radical Muslims, but what happens when those two cultures clash? Homosexed Muslims? Nah...don't think so.

Ha-Ha Haaaaa!!!! Success??? What success in Afghanistan? Security?? What security?
Why is the Pak military so impotent? Even women and children with sling shots could do a better job!
I predicted this, now it is happening. THIS is exactly the hell you get from appeasing evil.
On 2-19-09 I wrote:
Taliban forces quickly cut through the Swat region shooting innocents and beheading the opposition. Now, as a reward, they get what they want; a license do continue doing the same with impunity... in the name of God.
And what did the Pakistani govt get in return for negotiating? Nothing. This kind of appeasement resulted in Adolf Hitler's WW2 march across Europe. Make no mistake, the Taliban will not stop until they have toppled the Pakistani Govt.

Now that these whackjobs have been appeased and rewarded for their brutal behavior, they wont stop at the border of Pakistan. When they have the nukes, don't think for a minute that they wont threaten the world unless we all submit to sharia law. All of you who love to apologize for the murderous islamist thugs, what will it take? A mushroom cloud in your back yard, or just your head in a basket?
So today 5-5-09, Whatever it takes ( ARE YOU LISTENING ALL YOU PACIFIST Neval Chamberlin MORONS!!?) these spawn from hell need to be sent back where they came from, or we will all go to hell with them. Rise up and kill! Time for talk is over, its kill or be killed.

Welcome to the future.
When a population reaches maximum carrying capacity, starvation, sickness and war work as an evolutionary feedback loops to bring numbers back down to sustainable levels.
Since the petroleum era has endowed humans with a surplus of energy large enough to grow abundant food and the global population far beyond carrying capacity, the density dependent mechanism working as a limiting factor in response to explosive population growth in this case is an epidemic.
Living in sprawling urban mega cities is simply not sustainable on any level; spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially. Before any major disruption in the modern way of life would result in mass starvation ( the end of petronomics ) a global pandemic and/or world war is plausible in direct proportion to peak oil production as a feedback loop to correct the huge global population imbalance.

Boo-hoo. Why believe this crap? Pirates that so far have been trying to scare ships? SHIPS? Really? Ships get scared... not people? ( Oh, thanks for informing us of the pirates honorable intentions, as if THAT'S what their REAL mission is...just scaring inanimate ships like the Boogie man would if he could!)
Gunfire? COOL!!! Hurry for guns!!! Shoot the pirates! Fight back! Give them hell! With a chance to shoot a .50 cal. people like elcitset will be signing up to fight them! A real stimulus package that .50 eh? Yeah, Wall Street can even take that one to the bank! Put a bounty on their heads! Rather: "Pirates that so far have been trying to scare ships could now enter the food chain as shark chum chowder". Bam!-Bam!-Bam! Kersplash! Wahooooooooo!!! ...Got another one!!!

With a global population of 6.5 billion... it can be much worse than 1918. It could be the book of Revelation.
The 1918 pandemic is estimated to have affected up to one billion people: half the world's population at the time. It is estimated that anywhere from 20 to 100 million people were killed worldwide, which mean this epidemic could potentially kill 325 million(aprox. the pop. of the US) or more, given that many more people live in overcrowded urban centers than they did back in 1918.

Close the border now! Just the latest way we will all suffer and die - not just Americans, but the world - from the lack of political will over the last 3 decades to deal with the flood of illegal immigration across the US/MEX border. You can screem all the airports, but without viable border restrictions( militarize the border ) none of it will do any good. One would think that with all the murderous drug crime on the border, this alone would be enough to get the border under control. So what does it take; a pandemic? The only reasonable assumption is that they want it this way. God help us all.
