Happy Leap Year Day!

Me? I got to witness the culmination of the hypocrisy and racism of the United States government.

For a while now, I've been keeping note of the situation in Haiti, not knowing too much, but making sure that I knew something. And yesterday, we have a nation right off the Florida coast where a democracy is being threatened and the US government doesn't give a $#!+, yet we can go into Iraq, which was never a threat except to Mr. Bush's lemmings, destroy them, and claim that we care about putting in a 'democracy.' And earlier, we have our chief of staff saying that any refugees will be returned home. WTF? This truly is some lovely stuff. Haitian refugees have to be sent back because if you let one in, they all want to come. Nice to know that a refugee is nothing more than a roach, a parasite. But if it was something going down in Cuba, they'd be welcome here with open arms and you'd have a news report on them every single day. I wonder whether it has to do with skin color alone, or is it money? And I just knew that something stupid was going to happen there eventually, I just didn't know when.





What a lovely day it was. Just another day in this bicentennial year.

I don't mean to slide this thread off topic, but for a long time now, it seems like whenever ANY country is in trouble, it alway's seems that the US must go and fix it. Why can't countries solve their own problems? Eventually the US will get into serious trouble itself and I doubt any country will come help us. But meh, my Leap day was good.

Number 1: I was on topic. All day long the big story in my home was the ouster of a president in the land where my parents come from.

As for why countries can't solve their own probs? Well, mister, you may not know this, but this government plays a large role in the politics of the weaker nations in this hemisphere. A very large role that makes nations dependent on the US so that US interests can profit and suck the blood of the resources of other nations. They make others dependent on them and make them think they're doing favors for them. But when they really need help, they're nowhere to be found. If countries were allowed to be self-sufficient, then you might have a point.
