Evil Will Find A Way When Responsibility Is Taken By Someone in Authority

It is a stunner as the Senate decided to test the waters at home this summer rather than incur the rancor of locals over immunity for crimes by telecommunication companies and the president.

The bill, which passed the Democratic controlled House, now grants the immunity to the telecoms in exchange for continued financial support through the elections. The bill also grants any agents of the government the right to spy on Americans as long as they let the courts know in a week or two after. That means spying any way possible including your email, phone calls, mobile number and microphones in your home, office or play spaces. All with no court order and instigated by any agent of the government without the need for any orders or oversight. Just a whim.

An astounding fact buried in reverse numbers is the fact that 89 percent of Americans give Congress negative marks! 77 Percent disapprove of George Bush. The miniscule minorities that may be pleased are sure to be the profiteers who have provided the catastrophe the people now face economically, politically and globally.
