It gets worse! (plus more political stuff)
Remember my rant yesterday?
http://rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/gop_rewrites_dem_amendments_427.htm
Apparently, Repulicans in the House are able to get away with what basicly amounts to slander. The proposals to try and amend that god-awful bill were all rewriten by the Rupulican side to say that the DEmocrats wanted to change things to protect sexual preditors.
And apparently, while siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins can all be sexual preditors, parents can't.
...
Can we make it mandatory that all bills introduced into congress need to have an impartial 3rd party researach the possible complications and effects of the bill on the comunity it impacts? Like how No Child left behind shoul dhave had to be reviewed by educators and this mess should have been reviewed by social workers or those who work in chrisis centers and DEAL with teenaged girls who come in going 'Help me, I'm pregenant' Or even by, *Gasp* teenaged girls themselves! Not that the goverment gives a shit about the rights and feelings of minors, mind you. After all, it's not like they can vote or anything. Or fund campains.... -_-
*wants there to be an 'Eject' button for current goverement*
It'd be an intresting experament... Inform all members of goverment that there will now be inforced a policy of 'You will be the people you are effecting' forcing all politions to become middle class working parents. You will have to have preformed over 500 hours of comunity service per yer in things like homeless shelters, chrisis clinics, hospital emergancy rooms, free clinics, inner city schools, miltary medical units (or similar, something just on the edge of combat so they can see what it does to those who live in it and THEN see if they're so quick to say 'no, you can't go home, you have to stay longer') ect. Force them to get out there and interact with REAL people in REAL life, not just prefab campain opertunities. Let them see first hand how their laws effect people. Let the anti-abortionist see first hand a teenager who got pregant from a rape who's parents will toss her out on the street if they find out. Let them pro-war person actualy experance what they send millions out to. Let the person working on the education system try and help out in a city classroom of 50 students in a room that can only hold 30. Let the people working on welfare reform talk to people who are just barely able to buy food for their kids with it and to the people who beleive that people only work because they want to (true story, there is a family with a kid in the highschool that has never worked. They live off govement money. THis girl, when a teacher offered to set her up with a job interview said: 'But I'm not like you. I don't like to work.'")
Too many problems are caused by people who just don't KNOW any better, that live in a bubble in their upperclass neighborhoods. It's time to pull these people out of their high thrones and make them work fast food.
Bet ya that would get rid of alot of the twitheads who are only into politics for the perks...

Someone also pointed out to me that Bush is the first president (at least in a long time) to ever appear in a military uniform as president. Even the ones who really did serve like Eisenhower and Kennedy never wore their uniforms in office. They're all a bunch of posers as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, Bush disgraces the military uniform when he wears it... He has no right to it.

I mean suppose Bush had been told beforehand that the war would cost the lives of one or both of his daughters. Would it still have been worth it to him? Yet he doesn't mind sacrificing other people's children. Most people don't get to make that choice.
