Comments on: A New Year Brings New Laws

It's 2009: You Cannot Text While Driving In Calif., Smoke In An Oregon Bar, Or Pee In Public In N.H.

You''ve really got to read this article by the Washington Post. http://tinyurl.com/6emukq

This top-rated piece of investigative reporting shows that Wall Street Banks took BILLIONS out of our pockets by cornering the Oil markets in 2008, controlling 81 percent of all oil contracts in the world.

This article was not widely reported by virtually any other major news media (NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN, etc).

Cut and paste this and pass it on to people. We have been sold out.


As the article points out, these same Wall Street firms plan to do the same thing in 2009 to the price of everything we eat or drink, using the same cheap money they are getting from our treasury to manipulate commodities markets.

Why are we paying to keep these firms in business?

Why are our taxes being used to keep them operating?

They aren''t lending money to real businesses, they aren''t helping our economy, they simply aren''t necessary for America...they are only used by the very richest parasites who are destroying our country and dictating its policies by buying out our government.

How long are we going to let this go on?

Amazing. There are people who post to this website that want the government to ban cell phone use in your car. I guess if you have a passenger, they''ll want to ban any conversations as well. Get a life. The main thrust of these laws is they assume you and I are stupid, so they must tell us what we can and can''t do. Notice that they usually exempt themselves. There is a law already on the books that mandates that you will allow no other activity to interfere with your primary duty of driving your car safely. Let''s just enforce what''s already there, OK, and leave the people alone--and free.

In my opinion most laws, MOST not all but most are nothing more than common sense. I have enough common sense to not drink and drive, to not speed, to not rob the local liquor store. I dont need a bunch of self righteous better than thou senators and congresspeople getting in my business. The best law they could put into effect is making common sense mandatory.

Wanted to comment on this law. This is the concept of governments taking away your rights. First drugs, then smoking anf now what you are allowed to eat. Does anyone else SEE this pattern?
