Cheap
I'm always struck by how inexpensive it is to buy Congressional support for Billion dollar benefits. ''...20 years received $2.3 million in contributions from the insurance industry—more than any member of the House or Senate except John McCain, R-Ariz. During that same period, Dodd has received $774,000 from health insurers, ranking second ...

Millionaires
Millionaires don't move to save on taxes. They have to be where they can make the money. They live in New York because they have to. How can you swindle people if you live in North Dakota to save on taxes? This country makes working people work for nothing while they glamorize people who USE the system to steal money all the while claiming they ...

A long time dying...
When I was a kid in the 60s and early 70s, I counted on music journos and reviewers to point me toward interesting music that would likely not -- even in those far more eclectic and free-wheeling radio days -- make it onto my local AM or FM dial... music I might have to drive across Southern Cali to find. When I first saw Rolling Stone in 1969, ...

Bush & Cheney-Poster boys for corruption
I have been writing my senators and representatives repeatedly asking for an investigation of the corruption of the last administration. Their abuses of power, lying and corruption are unrivalled in modern politics. Now they are both sitting in Texas collecting their ''ProQuo'' for the billions they sent to Halliburton and other large Oil ...

Prison Problems!
I feel that many of the problems that exist in prisons are that, there aren't enough rehabilitaion programs that exist. Another problem is that, too much negativity is provoked, because many security guards there, seems to turn their heads and pretend that the problems doesn't exist. Another problem is, the time that is sentenced for a ...

Re: CORRUPT "JOURNALISM"
''Grateful''? The children should be ''grateful''? Did you actually say that? OK, never mind. We won't go there. You haven't even done Adoption Sensitivity 101. These are not the ''worse'' cases; this is a trend. If you don't believe me, read the article on trafficking and corruption in China and why it's ...

Not news but worth repeating
I don't understand how you could look at the accompanying slide show and not see that something is amiss in the world of international adoption. The injection of this much $$ into the process has seriously undermined the original purpose of adoption: find parents for kids, not babies for parents who pay.

BEIJING, March 12 -- China's top judge Wang Shengjun said on Tuesday that the Supreme People's Court will ''improve its education of work ethics'' for judges in a bid to weed out judicial corruption. Wang said judicial corruption has seriously damaged the credibility of the country's judicial system and led to ''very bad'' social ...

Corruption v. Criminality
I think the piece that is missing in the discussion on criminality is the fact that we as a society have allowed corruption to become institutionalized at all levels. To the point where we are at now, when no one questions it. T Our most important national institutions; The Market, The Government, The Media have all been irreparably ...
