It’s no wonder they choose a cheaper, faster workforce that is state-owned, who don’t pay workers very much, and without as much regard for their workforce’s safety! In every way the decision maker will be judged, it saves their ass!

Except one…

If you are not already familiar, www.whitehouse.gov now allows any US citizen 13 years or older to create an online petition for pretty much anything in the hopes of drawing the attention of the President. As far as I have seen this has been much less a tool for the people and more a method [...]

I’m neither for or against the “Occupy” movement, but I am definitely a supporter of the US Constitution which guarantees: …the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances… Yesterday, police at UC Davis demonstrated that they don’t value that particular edict established by the people [...]

This strategy works to prevent monopoly pricing of products but, unfortunately, it is inadequate [...]
