I like Cain, but i still have issues with a few of his views. However they are very minor and so long as he never tried to push an agenda on them, I dont see those views as a deal killer. At moment I'm still voting libertarian or Ron Paul, until given a solid canidate that I agree with on MOST issue...

As a humanitarian organization it is effective. As a governing body, as it really has no teeth unless everyone agrees, at which point everyone agrees without the UN as well. Its ineffectiveness is unlikely to change, so long as countries keep their sovereignty. Multi-polarity is most likely to make ...

It's not just the internet kill switch that is the problem, it's also the Net Neutrality.

Things can change in many ways. Lets say no one has motives domestically, then most likely your looking at a lower standard of living and higher cost. Now that lower standard of living might not be noticable unless you were to go out of the country. For example, I went to Russia this past summer. Th...

The entire "stimulus" bill and "jobs" bill are hurting this country, not helping. Voting and accepting the money is same in my eyes. Dems, GOP, and Progressives on both sides, all need to get the fuck out of the way so Americans can fix America.
