$8k for carrying a knife in the UK, should be imposed here, only up it to $10k, some gangs are carrying macheties, and the fine imposed should be $20k, and release from jail should be dependent on when the fine is paid in full...........3 police officers were killed with an assault rifle in Calif, I believe it happened yesterday...............its a crazy world, and one crazy country bent on violence. If our policticians in Washington, our States, and Cities were not so reckless in trying to curb the ills of the world, as opposed to our own backyards, doing all the right things having made it safer for our citizens, and visitors over the last 95 years it would have made a tremendous impact. Instead we got into Wars other than WW11 that weren't justified, and today we are paying the price.............and for what?.
Our young people watch and listen to all this stuff in Washington, Wall Street, and here its hard to seperate the two, and the corruption in these public corporations. I like Spitzer, and someone as smart as he sure let his dumb side ruin him, like Edwards............and this is what their learning about, not what is making this a great country, and that we have honorable people serving in Congress or on the benches of the US Supreme Court, or withing the Federal Reserve or the Treasury, or with our Banks, and Lending Institutions, and why getting a good education matters when they can learn all this on the streets or within a prison.
What they are being taught is that honor and integrity, means nothing, and has no place in the real world if they want to make it big. Everything and anything can be heard on TV or the news media. Like Aig employee's getting million dollar bonuses for sinking a corporation thru fraud, and then getting rewarding by the taxpayer for doing it.
They grow up believing in nothing because evolution teaches that we are our own god, and everything goes as long as they get caught..........It takes strong parents who are making lots of time for them to teach them otherwise and that there is a better way............The very same things needed in every other country in the world. Everyone can do better and live a better life given a fair opportunity to do the right things. We cannot come to the rescue everytime something occurs in the world, there are other countries who should be doing their fair share, who don't. China doesn't involve itself, nor does Japan, and many others.
So many of a countries ills can be caused by corrupted govts who are overbearing on the rest of the population to do right when they are breaking laws, look at Geitner, Daschul, and others who don't pay their taxes, but if it were you and me that owed as much, our accounts would be frozen, fines would be levied, and maybe a stint in jail, only after the IRS takes what they want, and even our tax returns would be conviscated, our elected officials have proven that serving corruption and getting rich doing it and all they can get away with, is the better way, club initiation once elected makes the new person one of them, the very same people time and again want the next highest seat, like we all witnessed during this last election, and the country suffers for it, our States, and cities.
