Can we stop being politically correct, for a change?
Ok, now that another deranged and directionless young idiot was brainwashed into attempting to explode a bomb, I can only imagine TSA getting busy hiring lot more people who will subject 80 year old grandmas equally and subject them to unspeakable duress.
Can we be more sensible? Let us try to solve this problem like any other problem, efficiently.
Here are all the options we have available:
We will limit ourselves to risk from airlines.
1) Can we agree international flights are more likely to suffer terrorist incidents than domestic. Why not tighten the noose around inbound/outbound international flights.
A. Disallow direct flights to and from select countries.
B. Disallow indirect flights from anywhere if any of the passengers originate from one of those select countries.
I do not understand what the reward is if the risk is lost precious lives of innocent others.
These select countries do not extend any freedom to anyone. Why should we?
2) If (1) is too much for you, can we at least force such flights to land at a distant place like a remote island and eliminate all
threats before allowing them to continue onward.
Oh, yes, it is unsettling that the culprits are an insignificant minority. I agree but why should a vast majority waste time and
be subject to duress and delays because of the insignificant minority. What is the economic cost of this mindless search thrust on the entire population. Only in America!
If you wondering why the majority of those select countries suffer, I say the majority in those countries allow these anti-social elements to thrive, recruit, train, plan and execute these acts. Those silent majorities deserve the Hiroshima and Nagasaki experience more than the Japanese deserved.
Does anyone even ask these terrorists if they ever know of a mullah or the ring leader who participated in such acts.
Mullahs almost always send others to do their work. What a heavenly place this world would be if these mullahs would participate and purge themselves.
Dream on, I hear you say! What spineless cowards these ring leaders are?
There is no harm if we selectively stop and examine by profiling passengers. We are a fair people! We do not need to be
politically correct punishing the entire nation to prove this point. No matter what we did, these bigots will never change their
opinion of us. Time we ignored and do exactly what they would do. I am tired of our political correctness. Just so you know,
I am a liberal and ailing from one of those select countries, I will be happy to endure all this nonsense to relieve countless others who are being subject to nonsensical delays.
I am opposed to illegal wars to usurp others wealth however I am for fighting to finish when it is just.

Bail me out!
If you are still not sure -- I am extraordinarily ordinary American. I am broke.
Guess what! I would like to be bailed out. I never spent more than what I earned.
I never speculated more than a dollar or two on state lottery -- hey my children go to school and expect to be educated. And yet I am broke. I am just another ordinary American who is broke.
I lost 60% of most of retirement savings. Oh yes. The biggest retirement management companies lost 70% of what I had with them. I just lost and I am broke now. I need to be bailed out. If you are not convinced -- My home is worth less than I what I paid for.
The amount I borrowed to move in. Hear me out -- Congress! Hold some hearing for us,
some of us, who wake up before 6 AM and cast a ballot once in 4 years..right down the party line.
Now let us get serious about bailing me out. Just raise the limit on 401K contributions so I can put away to make up the 60% I lost. Really I am not asking
for a handout. But little help to help myself.
Of course bail out the Auto Industry. My kids would scream omg..they created something in like unlike the bandits that were gifted 700 billion for a 3 pager.
Common guys...American Cars .. Chrysler in particular is the finest vehicle .. have you driven one lately! I never drove anything but American automobile. I never will.
They are the best!

Bailing out the free market!
Who is being bailed out? Those whose jobs were shipped overseas? Those whose health benefits have been eliminated? The same people to whose common benefit taxes are collected at great expense? No! No! Nada! Stop day dreaming!
Then Who is being bailed out? you ask. The firms that ship jobs overseas. The firms who seek to cut benefits to maximize profits. The same firms who employ every method to avoid tax.
Can you believe it?
If the companies make insane profits there are even those who think they should not even be taxed.
These are the companies that forsake the public in every way possible cutting health benefits, shipping jobs overseas. Why should I --having suffered all these-- bail out those who inflicted the pain?
And who are we bailing out? The shareholders got nothing. The employees have been shafted.
We are bailing out the trading partners who traded these toxic instruments.
Spin doctors keep drumming that there are small players who will not get credit and the small business would grind to a halt?
If that is the real intent why not setup 700 billion as a trust that can lend these small players?
Why do I need a middle man who collects a fee for doling out my money back to me --given to them by the government--. It is naked and awful scheme. Let the global system of big banks fail! It will not affect me or most of the people. Those whose profits will go down will find another way to defraud the working class anyway. Hopeless.
Why finance sector alone which is probably where greed and arrogance begins?
Why not bail auto industry?
Free to hoard profits free to unload loss to the public. Privatize profits socialize losses.
Diabolic.
Why cannot the govt hire the fastow guy from prison and ask him to setup off balance sheet SPE to repair the troubled firms. The companies can then cure their own ills over time.
The govt does argue these assets will recover -- do not want to extend a loan or recover the profits. If the govt seriously wants to help the small guy, they can double the tax-deductible
401K, they can allow me to deduct upto 10K in college tution fees or even make it tax credit.
Because kids educated on my dime are going to pay tax when employed.
Govt can even be green -- replace the current fossil fuel engines with 80 USD booster from a kid in Indiana/Ohio --.
So seriously the "system" wants to protect the rich and filthy cats from their own lewd greedy behavior by shafting the common. Another grand scheme to defraud the public. Redistribute the wealth from the poor to the filthy rich. Every 10 years it happens like magic.

Join the RICH. Steal from the working class and the poor! Nothing more.

Action not lament!
Americans have pursued many endeavors in the interest of world at large.
Participation in WWII, expedition to the moon etc. And numerous wars and aid programs.
Our charter is not to debate the right and wrong of any of these. Instead we want to
find a solution to this problem. Leave a better world for our children.
There is no room for politics here. Concise and actionable ideas -- at an individual level -- are welcome. Any individual who shares our concern should be able to act
on the ideas, find ways to implement the ideas -- with the objective of reducing our national debt.
