Though you are absolutely correct. Mr. Pickles has done a better job of managing this nation than our president has in the last 8 years. Better Mr. Picklles than Mr. Do what I'm told.

Let's take a broad view. Many sources list Denmark with the highest rating of satisfaction amoungst their population, Denmark pays nearly 50% of their income to tax (which is true for us if you add sales tax to income tax, give or take legal obligations). Why are they very satisfied? They are a small and ancient group of people who have come to realize, that they ARE the government. All of 'em. They were conquerors back in the Viking days, they adopted neutrality during world war 2, they have seen every phase of greed and contentedness displayed by countries around them. They decided to drop out of the Empire building business, and cultivated their own back yard. The drugees have their own drugee parks, the hookers have their own block, the citizens pay for the less fortunate, and understand that they could move and not have to. They are in the smallest space, and they keep it clean, mind their own business, and closely monitor their own economy and relations with their neighbors. Wanna get satisfied with your nation? Learn how to Farm, Hunt, Sail, Teach or provide medical care and you will always be necessary. Watch your neighbor make millions as a douchebag scummy leach lawyer and you will really wonder if our system is doing what it was designed to do. Now we mostly elect douchebag lawyers to positions of leadership. We gonna keep that up?

OK. I will respond. We are never going to be Denmark. We are too big, too populated, and have gone too far down the path we are on. What we need to do now is stay informed, stay educated, and try to do the right thing. Make decisions that don't hurt other people. And vote for people who we hope feel the same way.

You make me wanna quote bad religion...you arrrrrrrre the government

[fatguyaz]

if we had listened to Bad Religion in the first place (i mean, REALLY LISTENED) we wouldn't be in this mess, right now.

It's funny how some of these "radicals" are making more and more sense, now, eh? The ideas get less crazy as the shit gets deeper.

jeez, that's awesome. the differences between her and pitbull keep getting fewer all the time. and I am not talking about a nice pitbull that has been well trained and treated properly.

Well, what is she gonna do? RUN after the wolves to slaughter them?

Pfft. It's cold out!!

In the novel Drop City by T.C. Boyle, there is a scene involving aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska that is not unlike that video.

(I just want to be clear that I am not a McCain fan) But that looks like footage from the 70's and where are the sources of information? It seems a little over sensationalized and the easiest way to get people riled up is by showing animal cruelty. She might be all for the hunting of wolves from a plane, but this just seems too much like it came from Weekly World News.

[raubhimself]

I don't think the video is claiming that's Palin in the plane. The facts are true from what I know, the video is just for effect.

[jomama]

that's cool. I just hate it when people try to show graphic violence and cruelty as a means to send a message. It generally gets me more upset at the people sending the message then it is the message itself.
