6. I dunno Mo...
Ask me this question a year ago and I would have given you a totally different answer but now with the recent fallout in the US spanking industry I've been investing mainly into foreign spank markets...
And I think the following picture explains it best:

8. 1 bail out money should be directly to the people with cashchecks in
direct ratio to tax they paid in the last five years or zero tax zero
welfare for five years - zero tax will take care of zero welfare in
spending & jobs. zero middle-man-governments/corporations -
spending/waste/redistribution. no need to have so many gov/corp army
maning the tax/redistribute inefficent unnecessarily created posts
that gets in the way of a decent life. mr-harvard-mba-bush can put
that in place today. see the economy boom like magic. global golden
years.
2 we are not electing a debate/plan/promise/speech - that's all talks
& by lawyers too. we are electing a
president/person/character/experience/record - mccain 08.
3 only black man can freepass to harvard/wealth/whitehouse.
freepass/affirmativeaction/blackracecard makes this housing/financial
crisis - jail them - treason.

9. Daytona Beach has earned the dubious honor of becoming one of the most corrupt cities in the United States. Corruption is so ingrained and so well organized that even the people in charge of prosecuting it are under control of the people benefiting from it.
From the purchase of overpriced land from political cronies, to the sale of the personal residency of a city commissioner to the city by over twice its just value, to the financing of personal hobbies and indulgences of tycoons at taxpayer expense, Daytona Beach has turned into Capone's Chicago.
The end result is a city in despair, high unemployment, low morale, rampant crime, homeless roaming the streets and an overworked police force that can't keep up.
