I find it even funnier your a "journalist" in a dictatorship an absloute rule of the goverment they don't really allow for jorunalisim to take effect. You write something down that the goverment dosen't like they shut down your paper. Or worse they just decide to kill you off. Now since a lot of people like you would be happy to see someone say like obama or another far left take over and probably shut down things like talk radio and fox news. I have to ask what if Bush or Cheany was the "benavolent" dictator telling you iron clad what the paper could write, would you be happy in your industry.

That is why your statment was absloutley moronic. And sorry I don't spell check my comments.

Although I don't appreciate your crude insults, Tommy, I do appreciate your bizarre attempt at satire, though perhaps putting in all those misspelled words was going a bit too far.

A BENEVLEENT DICTATORSHIP THERE IS NO SUCH THING HAS A BENEVLELONT DICTATOR SHIP THAT IS WHY IT'S CALLED A DICTATOR SHIP. WHENEVER A GOVERMENT GETS GOD LIKE CONTROL OVER A PEOPLE IT'S ANYTHING BUT BENEVLOENT. NAME ME ONE PLACE ON EARTH THAT HAS A DICTATOR AND AFTER 3 YEARS IN POWER THE PEOPLE WERE HAPPIER AND MORE PROSPEROUS IT DOSEN'T HAPPEN. ONLY WHEN PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE ARE THEY HAPPY, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE FORCED TO LIVE WITH THE BAD DECESIONS THEY MAY MAKE.

HAS FAR HAS SCREWING UP THE KIDS FUTURE BOTH SIDES REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE THAT. OBAMA FAR MORE THEN BUSH BUT BUSH STARTED THE TARP SO HE'S NOT OFF THE HOOK. In the 70's intrest rates and inflation went over board because Carter put 13% more money into the market, printed money. With Tarp and the giant stimlus packages the feds have printed 120% more american dollers then there were last year, from now on I am going to start doing my financial transcation in Charmin toilet paper because in about 5 years it will be more valuable then the doller bill at this rate. The USA is also in danger of loosing it's tripple A credit status (in other words we won't be able to borrow money) because other countries are scared about our debt. So both sides have done a pretty good job of screwing my generation out of money.

Has for the kids and there debt a lot of that is true but it is part of A being young and unexperianced, and B living in hard ecnomic times. The companies always will let loose there most inexperainced employes first because they aren't has valuable yet and keep the ones that make money in hard econmic times. Does it suck yeah I have had run ins with similer situations in my jobs but it just happens. I have been able to keep from being laid off in situations like this by showing up on time, and doing extra work outside of what is consider doing my job, and staying late and giving up weekends if need be. I see a lot of people my age or younger though who don't show up, or show up late, and wonder even why there getting yelled at. I wonder just how stupid they are or lucky they have a job.

Oh and just in case you think I am some right wing union hated bigot. I am not I am a member of a union, a union that might go on stirke any day now. And someone who voted for said strike twice. But I am getting screwed by both sides to. Just for fun if you really care to see what I mean google UFCW7 Duran.

I think you're right. I'm sure we'd be better off without the damned Republicans and their Neanderthal approach to government. But then a one-party system, whatever the ruling party, would of course be a dictatorship, and we obviously don't want that, either. Or do we? Maybe a benevolent dictatorship might be preferable to the mess we've now got.

Unless the Democrats and the Unions catch up with the Republican retro-Gilded Agers, the great majority of young Americans have a disappointing future ahead of them.

Good thoughts.
