All The World's... A Mess!

June 30 2005
Alright, I have two major issues with the world right now:

1. CAFTA. For those of you, like me, who make a point to dodge the news, you are probably not familar with this new act that the Federal Government is trying to pass. This alledged CAFTA will confine America to more rules but not even rules that we are to abide to as a nation, but as North Americans. See, this CAFTA thing involves Canada and Mexico as well. Um... hello... America's government is too different from the government of Canada and Mexico to mesh like this. Basically, if we sign CAFTA, we sign our souls away as a nation. Most state rights have already been taking away (and I'm not even the hugest supporter of that but I'm definitely not a fan of a big government or big brother for that matter) and the government already controls a lot. This will just make everything a bigger mess.

2. BP. Also known as British Petroleum. BP is currently advertising as striving to be more environmentally friendly. Hmmm... too bad they're not humananely friendly... There was an accident at a BP plant in Texas City, TX and people died. Sure, accidents happen. However, Amaco, who had previously owned the plant, was all about the safety of their employees and took all the precautions they could. BP was not even striving for these safety procedures whenever they took over the plant. How would I know? Because that's where my dad used to work... before he was laid off...

So where's Ronald Reagan when you need him? Dude... Amanda Manning was wearing a Ronald Reagan shirt this morning... that's so awesome... if someone sees her please ask her where she got it!
