The motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich.
I like BuzzFeed, and I understand the pressure that online reporters are under. But I think everyone agrees that, despite all the awesome kitten gifs, they're still obligated to be skeptical of government officials and ask the right questions.
All I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey.
A government run by billionaires for billionaires is an affront to freedom, morality, and humanity.
Transporting Americans is and should be one of the most important functions our government must address.
If we say, 'The government sucks,' we're kind of saying that we suck.
Instead of the Government spending $400,000 on immunisation, we may get far better health outcomes if we spend $100,000 in some other way, on nutrition for example...When you have an expenditure on getting your community healthier, then the resistance to many childhood diseases is stronger.
Healthcare should be between the doctor and the patient. And if the doctor says something needs to be done, the government should guarantee it gets paid for.
I come from the state of Michigan. We were the first English-speaking government in the world to outlaw the death penalty, back in the 1840s. We have never had, as a state, the death penalty in Michigan. I was raised with that, and even Republicans in Michigan, nobody would even think of putting a measure on the ballot to have the death penalty.
I see the show as (a cross between) the World Wrestling Federation and C-SPAN. If you can kind of imagine those two together, that's what we're doing.
Bill Gates is worth $97 billion. Ninety-seven billion, that is equal to the net worth of 120 million Americans. How did he get that rich? He ain't that smart.
Every dog deserves to have its day in the spotlight.
When I'm shooting a movie, I'm always in an invisible theater seat. I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.
You know, an opinion can be right or wrong.
