Roleplay: Come on and get real. Leave the past alone and focus on the now. Those people that are needling others by passing comments and innuendos between the channels need to be squashed and stop their attempts to gain stature and position by doing it. People are trying to go on with their lives but are getting dragged down by this petty bickering. People in Sorcery are trying to move on just as some people in Starchat are trying to move on. To the drama kings and queens that can’t accept that .. tough .. stop it or find somewhere else to park your character.

The Pledge: Why are we so quick to throw away our heritage and change what got us where we are at today? It isn’t perfect but it is the best system I have seen. Some people will do anything to get their minute in the spotlight. Why they will even use their kids. This is America. Our system was built by founding fathers that believed in God and saw Him as the basis of our Nation. This looks like now that God has made us the best place on earth to be we want to dump him and take the credit ourselves. But then again, we have become a bunch of “users.” We use things then discard them when we want something newer or improved. The Constitution was built as a living document to grow as the nation did but we are dismembering it to suit the special interests. It is not the land where the majority rules but where the minority forces the majority to concede their rights.
I know many will label me but this is America. In this land we speak English, pray in school, say the pledge, honor the family, anyone can succeed but not at the expense of someone else, when you commit a crime you are punished and the victim receives restitution, and marriage is between a man and a woman. I agree that some things are broken such as equality between the races. But let’s fix the problem and not brow beat each other on what happened in the past. Yes, the corrections system is broken when the guilty dictates how they are to be treated and the victim is further humiliated as the guilty demands equal rights. And the list goes on.
FEMA: Make it a separate entity once again. Let Homeland Security deal with terrorism and FEMA deal with natural disasters. The combining was a bad idea so let’s fix it now.
Katrina: Bush admitted the federal response was inadequate; Brown resigned (got fired). The Governor admitted she made mistakes. Ok, Mayor, your turn to quite mouthing off, playing the race card and admit you and your staff failed miserably.
With the charges against that couple for negligent homicide we see the tip of the iceberg. Humans become animals when conditions become deplorable and society breaks down. We see that when the Mayor fails to plan and execute a disaster response, when a Governor can’t relinquish some power or control in order to help those they swore to protect, when police desert their beat, when National Guardsmen loot, and Caretakers abandon the helpless. In the aftermath we need to look at human nature and how we can avoid the conditions that made a city turn into jungle.
It is great to see the Congress open its investigation before the disaster is cleared up. They think “people will work harder at recovery knowing they are being watched.” Well, I think they will “work less because they don’t want to be called on the carpet for their actions and they especially don’t want to be second guessed and then have to defend their actions.” If Congress is trying to find something to do then they should “work on the budget and get it out on time.” They do this every year, slow leak the budget process and mess up the government for months as they panic approve a patchwork budget. Congress should be legislating and governing the land. Leave the policing of our actions to the legal system. The lawyers would love that.
A Convicted Child Abuser tries to take a child from school: When will we wake up and realize that these predators never really change their ways? How many children must die before the so called adults fix this problem?
Oil Companies: Regulation is the word of the day. Federal regulation of the industry until the oil companies can show they are willing to be part of the solution. Now they want to educate us as to why the prices are this high. They feel the average consumer doesn’t understand. I understand that it is broke when you post billion dollar profits as the so called gas shortage rages and prices skyrocket.
