    FOUO

    Why would any information be suddenly classified unless it was from an illegal action?
    The public sure did pick a wet noodle when it elected Obama or I mean when Obama was allowed to be put in office.
    How can the public stand for the abuse of real patriots that stand up for their rights. Are their any Americans left worth fighting for?
    Look at Bradley Manning, no charges yet he is being confined and tortured by Obama.

    We treat our pets better than this and lock up animal abusers while the torture of innocent humans goes unpunished.
    We talk about recalling governors for union busting but maybe we should thing more about recalling Obama and getting him out of the White House while we still have a law to impeach him.

    Phones

    Before the cellphone and computer their were two way to communicate, snail mail or a phone call. Phone calls were mainly local calls because of the expense of long distance calls and actually writing a letter with a real pen and ink was considered more personal and private. Today almost everyone has a cellphone and even the expense of buying the latest cellphone as they are developed about once a month and marketed as "gotta have this new model."

    Phones are highly abuse today by all age groups by people that talk and text on them while driving and people that are so involved with the phone stuck in their ear they get run down by on coming traffic while failing to realise they are walking into the street.
    Wherever you go today you see the majority of people with a cellphone stuck in their ear like the world is interested in every minute of their life and what they are doing.

    Personally we may be considered old fashioned but we still rely on our home phone for all calls. This is due to the fact that if we are out at a restaurant we do not want to be bothered and since our children are grown and on their own we do not have to leave messages where we can be contacted.

    I myself like to see the people I discuss things with face to face when possible, long distance does not make this possible but I find that email is the next best thing for instant contact and it gives the person leeway to decide when they have the time to read and answer the email. When I make plans to do some activity with someone I make the plan and get off the phone so conversation can be held face to face.

    People also look at all this electronic junk as a vital service if any national disaster takes place but in any big national emergency it's this electronic junk that will fail first.

    It always amazes me how people especially Americans are so willing to suck up to the latest electronic junk coming out of big business at such high cost to consumers.

    FDA

    So what else is new? The FDA has to be the crookedest federal department ever created and takes more bribes then the GOP.

    When national health care fully kicks in who is going to pay the bill for these new price inflated drugs, many that have not been inspected or even tested? Tax payers are going to foot the bill of course. The unemployed are growing in numbers and the government figures put out as propaganda do not take in the thousands that have exhausted their unemployment benefits so these millions of uninsured people will be placed on government paid insurance at tax payer expense.

    Why would Obama support this crime if he was really into cheap affordable health care for all. Obama can't seem to get his pea brain out of the corporate pocket unless he's in a foreign country instructing another basketball team.

    Re: TSA

    If people had any guts in America they would not fly. It would take about two weeks to shutdown the airlines if people would stop supporting this kind of treson. If we don't do something soon we are going to loose what we have and never get it back.

    Manning

    It's not about weather he is guilty of anything it's to discourage whistle blowers. Cheney and his gang outed a CIA agent and almost got a lot of under cover agents killed around the world and they got away free.

    Technology

    Technology is not bad, what is bad is the abuse of the technology.
