I think the concept of government is outdated and superficial to the needs of a modern society. Democracy needs fixing. I would prefer Anarcho capitalism to succeed. This next bit may sound like a contradiction in terms but to really have an anarchist economy (and I doubt that is possible, but if it were..) We should hand the structure of power to corporations. Let them fight our wars. Its not as stupid as it sounds because a lot of the war in the world is backed and supplied by corporations (case in point: Halliburton and Qinetiq) Just pull down the structure of hypocrisy IE: government. Halliburton is basically The USA inc. anyway, as Qinetiq is Europe inc. Its not that far fetched - Microsoft applied to the UN for diplomatic status. It wanted the right to have its properties in other countries listed as embassies. If you dont think this makes sense then reflect on the fact that ANYONE can start a corporation but no-one can start a competing government where one exists already
Theres no doubt in anyones mind that the world needs to find a new form of government or too update the existing one. But right now what we have is what we get, its worked so far to an extent. But the whole idea about the corporations is just rediculous.
But that's how the world works now, all I'm saying is theres this layer of hypocrisy called "Government" that seeks to justify the economic needs of the corporations by appealing to such things as, patriotism, justice, community, etc etc. In practice and behind the scenes Corporations such as Halliburton are basically the purveyors of the war and are in fact the USA's Armaments division. They are the military in effect and sell to the American people and around the world.. So when the USA goes to war, why justify the ecconomic needs of the USA with Patriotism etc. Dont these people realise everyone has seen through the scam? Isnt it time the west just said "we're going after the oil because we need to sustain an economy" ?
Dr phibes, is it possible that Haliburton is just another company albeit with a major hand in American interests ?. The majority of countries ''America goes after'' has a irrelevant % of oil interests in the US economy, thereby other interests are imho a priority. Imho it is more cost effective to prevent wars around the globe than partake in them. That [prevention] being the major goal in Ameirican politics.
The title of this thread states "all government is the same". In the UK that is certainly true whoever you vote for. The three major political parties all offer the exact same policies.
Youre kidding me... right?? No.. no I do believe you're serious I dont get where you're coming from! Rhumsfeld, Cheney, and the Bush family are practically mafia, they dont care how they get their $20,000,000 paypackets so long as it isnt members of their family that end up dead - Am I right ? I dont see how a company that profits from the war and practically has its cheif executive in the government, can fail to be turning dollars from a family like the Bush family and Donald Rhumsfeld, who in my opinion should be tried fro crimes against humanity (see his involvement in the drugs cartel). Unless you havent noticed Halliburton not only ships the oil but supplies the armed forces. That my friend was Halliburton V's Iraq
The human race is at the beginnings of a new crossroads. This very topic has been discussed amongst a very trusted circle of people that I have met along my life's path that has traveled miles across the nation and world. As we know the gap between the haves and have nots has grown exponentially. The middle class really does not exist anymore. It has also been a well known fact that 90% of the working class world is keeping the 10% seated into power and wealth. Then compounded is the problem with industrial vs. thrid world nations. Money is indeed the root of all evil and I believe money will be the catalyst in the end that sets up the next order in our evolution as a speicies on this planet.
I thought that might get some attention [not my reason for saying it though]. THINK ABOUT IT, if the accusations leveled at the Bush admin' are true. They don't need to concern themselves with what pisses the rest of the world off. Creating a multitude of enemies would not be a issue. AND Bush would have ripped up his NPT agreement years ago. How much Oil does Iran provide the globe? Estimates i have read give 5%. 1% at a guess, is how much is 'Americas'. Worth going to war over ?. Nope. As you would spend more than you earnt. creating peace therby suitable markets to sell too is far more profitable. Haliburton had nearly a 999 million pound operational deficit in 2001. Hardly ''rakeing it in''. I suppose in your eyes a perfect time for a war ?. Well given the response i can appreciate we might not be singing from the same hymn sheet, thats for sure. I don't think you are right, in the slightest. I'm not going to sit here and defend there pay checks though [i don't think they get $20,000,000 as a salary].. EX chief executive. Some shares in Tamiflu hardly constitutes being part of the drugs cartel. I suppose ''Rummy'' orchestrated 'Bird flu' right ?. I had noticed. The only reason Haliburton is so evident in peoples minds is because of the Cheney connection. The boreing details of his lack of real effective involment in said company would send even the most eager Cheney supporter straight to sleep. Imho it is easy and simplistic critique to make [what you are saying]. No offence . I honestly do think it is. Cheney+Haliburton+oil = WAR. Come on !. It ignores about 20.000 [approx ] other factors . I do think what you are saying has a grain of truth within it [somewhere]. Though i think given time and patience [and burdensome eye for detail] a more reasonable conclusion could be articulated. I'm not going to attempt that as i am far from articulate and as i am new, do i need a ''Bush apologist'' tag so early on ?. I don't think so . P.S: No points are lost in the ''I hate The Bush Admin' '' when being fractionaly reasonable.
