I swear to jesabus some people just don't have basic problem solving abilities.

I guess that's why some folks never made it past solder and slide, solder and slide (and some shouldn't have)

All intermixed of course. The leaders & supporters of corporate control (investors) prefer we don't discuss the causes of climate change or at least that we don't lay the blame at the feet of massive pollution caused by their greediness.

The fact that our so-called "liberal media" is not only ignoring Romney's and the GOP's lies, they're helping to spread them. A good example is this idiocy over the Ohio rally and those 4000 empty seats. None of them even bother to mention that this turd couldn't even fill those, let alone the other 14,000, plus another thousand on the floor as the President did.

American capitalists for over a century have been looking at China as the new economic frontier with the closing of the West. But it wasn't until now, that the internal politics of the Chinese Mainland permitted the opening of their market.

Big, fat piles of unparalleled corruption at every level of government, while most of America pretends the only reason we have a massive social crisis in this country is because of governmental incompetence. It's the REASON for the incompetence that's significant.

I see today he's at record highs in popularity. WTF. Honestly what has the mean spirited jerk done besides vocally voice hate and anger at the poor and disenfranchised? What is wrong with New Jersey and America that such blatantly false people can still remain popular. Christie a coward to standing up to power, but a champion of the powerful belittling the weak. Yah team.

I hate the total surveillance society that continues to march forward little by little. Its everywhere. I hate the sheep that go along with it, because they have the stupid mindset "well, it will only hurt the bad guys, not upstanding citizens" BZZZZZZZZZZT Wrong. The freedom of the individual to have privacy and conduct themselves without others watching them should be one of the basic human freedoms. Human beings really are probably 90% sheep like in following what authority tells them to do, and there are very few of us who see things differently and oppose this nonsense.

I also will mention the continuing destruction of the environment that keeps taking place worldwide, that always pisses me off.

Very important. I just fucked up...that's all. I included some I shouldn't have and left out at least other very important issues like LGBT and Corporate influence over our Government...Not to mention the Supreme Court or the environment...etc.

Again - very important issue...I just made a mistake. I do that.
