2007 - Look Back in Anger !!!
... Americans seem to be a people with a very short memory span and a
very limited sense of outrage. I don’t know what it will take to shake
them into any semblance of collective outrage or united action. I do

divided Congress, in the very least, the facts finally would have been
placed in the public arena. In the very least, they would not have been
swept under the proverbial rug of our shamefully intimidated and
cowardly elected legislators.
As 2008 begins, here are SOME of the issues that have endangered our
democracy and the lives of so many around the world. For all of 2007,
there was no action, nor were there any plans to:
