That legacy of the Reagan/Bush/Bush years needs to be reversed.

Booz.

How appropriate a name.

You would have to be drunk to believe their bullshit.

Privatizing our national security has caused irrevocable damage.

Free Trade Deals that devastate labor around the globe has caused irrevocable damage.

Allowing our country to be controlled by global corporations has caused irrevocable damage.

Allowing the ponzi scheme perpetrated by Wall Street to continue has caused irrevocable damage.

Corrupt unscrupulous politicians have caused irrevocable damage.

Empire building under the guise of keeping the homeland safe has caused irrevocable damage.

The insane war against cannabis has caused irrevocable damage.

Politicians, CEOs and corporations not being held accountable for their criminal and illegal behavior has caused irrevocable damage.

The U.S. media being taken over and used as a propaganda tool has caused irrevocable damage.

Many things have caused irrevocable damage to this country.

Whistleblowers, leakers, publishers and proven journalists are not on that list.

I am tried of the charade.

I am starving for the truth.

If Profit weren't you're only motive...
If you had screened you're contractors more carefully to avoid "loose cannons".......
Put in positions that should be filled by government employs....
Doing a job that should NOT be done in the first place.
None of this would have happened!

There is no need for to follow up on this.
Please stay in you're car!

Well, Mike, it looks like it is doing more damage to your business bottom line than damage to the people of the U.S. You must mean it is damaging your company and the mass marketeer and intimidation teams in our embassies and all those folks out there in contracting land that are part of the scheme to get public money into private hands. It isn't damaging me. You have damaged me
and everyone else that you have been spying on. Shut your selfish mouth you monster.

The issue is the collection of information on American citizens without warrants as required by the Constitution. Not North Korea. What a crock. Since this has come up, it would be a good idea to ask why cookies and unsolicited advertising are permitted on the internet. Pandora's box has definitely been opened, and it's about time.
