You keep hoping, but knowbody who can do anything wants to listen. America was based on people helping people, but all we have is people helping themselves. I'm sick of hearing cut corners, The only corner left to cut is walking away from a lifetime dream. And to old to change, and a goverment that has spent all the money we have put to get us through the rest of our lives. They spent up all our money to fill there own coffers. And handing us a line of bull that it is us. The media is run by our goverment, and say what they are told to say. Like how great the economy is doing, BULL the truth is over half of Americans are out of work. They have just come of the rolls. </p><p>         The American dream has been stole right out from under us. If your wealthy out there, and you hear this, and don't help, HOW CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT. This is Shark Tank. THIS IS REAL. The goverment this is a good time to start up a business, BULL. I have a large inventory in a new store. and equity in a little $60,000 almost paid off, And I have tried everything, and can't find one bit of hep NOWHERES, and GOD knows I have tried. If it isn't the goverment trying to destroy you, Itt's the local rich people who can't anybody else being succesfull. They think they are creating the modern slaves to do there bidding for nothing, and they think they deserve it.</p><p>        I didn't think it would ever get to this, BUT I HAVE HAD IT. Even what I have the rich sit around like vultures waiting for you to give up so they can get all you have for nothing, and sy that is business. WHats worst is they are the religious people who know better, and really think they are doing GODS Will. I wonder what GOD they are serving. I'm trying not to get bitter, but I can't do it no more, I have had two businesses taken right out from under me, And am to old to rebound. I'M trying,but I'm not making it this time. And I have a college education. I WISH LIKE GOD DID BEFORE MOSES,I COULD FIND ONE PERSON IN THIS WORLD WHO GENUALLY CARES. All these grants out there are for non profits and minority. I PROUD TO BE IN THE MAJORITY WHO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS I AM! </p><p>    SOMEBODY OUT THERE BE HONEST AND CONTINUE THIS COVERSATION, WE NEED TO TAKE AMERICA BACK. AMERICA IS BY THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!</p>]]></description></item><item><title>tieseeRef comments on The Dirty Topic of Money in Real Estate</title><author>tieseeRef</author><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:19:32 +0000</pubDate><link>http://bonzai.squarespace.com/blog/2008/4/4/the-dirty-topic-of-money-in-real-estate.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">196716:1909084:comment/6110965</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi</p><p>I only at present stumbled upon the website and was completely blown away by how spectacular it is!</p><p>Thus instead of just use the site i thought i would do my very best to chip in to the site . Starting with only posting and saying thanks everyone for your hard work. I for one treasure it.</p><p>I also wish to give by uploading numerous documentaries and different things, i have a question in the help discussion section if anyone would wish to aid me!</p><p>Anyway as I was saying I guess I will first start by uploading great deals of movies for free online at this web site.

Every facet imaginable of the industsry. And that's just about all there is for jobs.</p><p>Hospitals, insurance companies, product wholesalers, healthcare HR software, insurance, consultants galore. This will all only accelerate once the last half of the industry is nationalized.</p><p>Welcome to the return of fiefdoms, where industry consists of people who work for the government and people the government control.</p>]]></description></item><item><title>Mike Farmer comments on Reclaiming the American Narrative</title><author>Mike Farmer</author><pubDate>Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:42:09 +0000</pubDate><link>http://bonzai.squarespace.com/blog/2009/10/23/reclaiming-the-american-narrative.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">196716:1909084:comment/5992369</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks.</p>]]></description></item><item><title>d.eris comments on Reclaiming the American Narrative</title><author>d.eris</author><pubDate>Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:27:53 +0000</pubDate><link>http://bonzai.squarespace.com/blog/2009/10/23/reclaiming-the-american-narrative.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">196716:1909084:comment/5992322</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>&quot;let's worry less about right and left and worry more about limited government and individual rights -- these should be the two things on which both sides in American can agree!&quot;</p><p>Democrats and Republicans, so far as I can tell, do not care one bit about limiting the power of government or protecting, let alone expanding, individual rights and liberty.  They see the limitation of government as the limitation of their power.  They see the empowerment of the individual as a threat to that power.  They are, in many respects, enemies of liberty, agents and facilitators of the surveillance society and the creeping police state.  </p><p>With respect to moderates, i.e. their weakness as you mention in the second to last paragraph, I think you correctly identify the problem early on, when you write that the moderate position is &quot;based on a rejection of extremes.&quot;  Thus this is a purely reactionary moderation.  it's positions are not determined as moderate from themselves, defining themselves by what they stand for, but rather in reaction and rejection of some so-called extreme.  </p><p>Good post.</p>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
