Have you guys seen the recent articles in Time and the New Yorker Magazine about the CIA outsourcing it's interrogations to other countries. Pretty scary stuff, and sad that the government thinks they have any right to do that to people, American citizens least of all.

Social Security is a whole 'nother can of worms, one that need not be opened because there are so few people who understand everything involved in it. What's more interesting to me is the relatively non-existent push on medicare and medicaid reform from the Bush administration, a problem that is potentially exponentially more troublesome than social security.

hey blakjak,
Here's a good website which covers political, social, cultural, cinematic, etc. events. While it freely admits its liberal ideology, the articles strive to justify its conclusions with intelligent and thoughtful analysis (as opposed to immature name-calling or empty rhetoric rah rah stuff). Every once in a while it'll even feature a republican article, or interviews with republican politicians in order to show both sides of a story. www.salon.com -- dedicated to the power of the written word You'll have to pay for membership, but you can always get a free daypass if you watch the opening ad. |
