Today is the eighth anniversary of the Attacks on September 11th 2001. Ever since then, The United States has fought the long and perpetual War on Terror. After eight long years, it's time to look at how this war has gone through an objective, unbiased perspective and if we do that we can come to some conclusions about who has won and lost this war.

If you use your imagination, it's not that hard to imagine a business model where you can completely privatize the fire departments.

Right now, there are already companies like ADT which sell home security systems that alert the fire department in case of fire or high carbon monoxide.

You also have GM which has their ONSTAR feature, so that if you're in an accident they'll automatically send in emergency roadside assistance.

You also have many car insurance companies which offer emergency roadside assistance as one of the features on their insurance policies.

I know that lots of liberals support getting rid of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Many also support the Dream Act. I oppose both and for the same reason. I want to put an end to all these stupid wars overseas, and to reduce the number of Americans killed in wars.

Yesterday in Congress, there was a resulution that passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 396 to 1, and that resolution demanded that China have an investigation into the Tiananmen Square Massacre. This was the statement made on the House Floor by the one Representative who voted against this resolution.

Watch this Youtube video. It shows a homebuilder company hiring a backhoe to destroy the homes they just built because they can't sell the homes for the price they're asking for and they're losing money by keeping the homes built because of all the property taxes and maintinence fees involved with posessing the homes.

I remember very well, how throughout the housing boom, environmentalists were constantly making a fuss about how the American way of life is environmentally unsustainable. We were hearing constant rumblings about peak oil, water shortage, greenhouse gases, food crisis, energy crisis, land crunch, and a million other ways the earth could kill us all. As much as the pro-pollution crowd in the Republican party likes to demonize the environmentalists, current events have proven them right. Although there were other factors involved in bringing on this economic crisis such as the Fractional Reserve system
of credit expansion and malinvestment, a big part of the reason our economy has collapsed is because it was unsustainable to begin with, and what's environmentally unsustainable is also economically unsustainable.
