Now we should Prosecute the War Mongers who created these unnecessary wars for financial profits , mind control & Bankrupt our financial & Human resources !!! What have we gained after these years of endless wars? starting with GW Bush & gang, forfeit their government pensions & war profits for our wounded or deceased military families. No Gitmo for them,deploy them to Baghdad & Afghanistan forever for night infantry patrol or pick up week old battle remains !!!

P.S. check out my opinion article in today's Kaua'i Garden Island news;
Mark Beeksma’s Aug. 11 letter to the editor titled, “Small business and liberty,” http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/article_54e79714-c3ea-11e0-aad2-001cc4c002e0.html
basically talks about becoming more independent from government with the likes of installing solar panels, growing your own food and becoming a small business owner.
Mark states, “buy an electric car and purchase photovoltaic cells for your roof or garage. From now on, you can get your fuel free from the sun. The big oil companies have one less customer. The big government doesn’t get to tax your gasoline purchases or tax the high income that you need to earn in order to afford to buy gasoline.”
In theory Mark is correct and in a perfect world that would be true, however, in government if something can be taxed it will be taxed. Many things that were once free now have taxes and fees attached to them. Look no further than our neighbor island of O‘ahu, where parking your car can cost $200 to $600 a month, and to go hiking on many nature trails they now charge a fee.
Maybe big government won’t get to tax our gasoline since we are using electric cars, but somehow, someway, some politician somewhere will introduce a bill to tax the sun, the rain and even the air we breath.
