Bush has all the means in the world but he dosnt give a damn,
And not just Bush, I'd say all of the fairly wealthy people in the world. They have the means, but no compassion. They have the power, but no responsibility. I am quite positive that with the right reforms at the very least, every single American citizen could live with the safety and security of a (lower) middle class citizen. All this with very little, or no, expense to the rich. Oh, perhaps they wouldn't be able to buy a new yacht every couple of months. Well too damn bad! Most of our poor population lives in rural areas by the way.
This is what I think it truly means to be the ruler/leader of any group of people/land, and those who are more fortunate than others:
It is your duty and responsibility to care for the safety and security of both the people and the land in which you dwell, to your utmost ability. In doing this, there is no reason why you cannot still lead a favorable lifestyle. It is also likely that you would be loved and adored by all of your people (except those tainted by greed and other such things of course).
It is also my opinion that any country acting in this manner would be nigh unstoppable. The people would act with as much or more fervor than the most zealous of religious folk. Perhaps I'll elaborate upon my idea some other time.
Apparently writing about JM here is his secret weakness. Muwahaha!!!! Now I have leverage over him and am another step closer towards my goal of world domination.
"And the Evil that was vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent and Terror shall consume they that dwell upon the Earth. The skies will rain fire. The seas shall become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked! And all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!" - Mephisto
Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.
