So can I. And I limit myself to parties, because it was the topic you brought up and that you and me have addressed the whole time.
You live in two party system and want me to provide example of party witch hunt?
Can i go around Europe for example or to some movements in US?
There are cartel offices, trade unions etc. to control companies, the market and protect the workers, so it doesn't get out of hand. While there are problems with unemployment or low-income-jobs, the system is by far better than a command economy with faked full employment and generally a vastly lower living standard.
Don't know much about the electric sector in the US. It works fine here, although the major companies are constantly criticized and under close watch of the cartel office, we have dozens of minor companies, that gain a lot of new customers especially after the Fukushima incident, when more people realized, it's better to rely on non-nuclear power.
Theoretically system is great, but as i said as the power of big companies raises system corrupts proportionally.
Who finances the politicians and why do they do it? Answer this to yourself and you will see where is the problem with capitalism, on one side you have people that can and do buy off politicians to protect their interests, so you have illusion of democracy in which legally elected representatives of people protects interests of 1% of the richest.
While i do agree that command economy is not good (good part there is that power is in the hand of state not companies) i am equally against form of capitalism in which all the power lies in hands of 1% of the richest people. Some form of capitalism heavily regulated by the state would be the best solution.
Btw enron was dealing in contracts for electric power.
I heard about some problems with supply of california after privatization but not sure about details.
Again, to illustrate how courts don't treat everyone equal, you need:
Case A:
- crime x
- law y
- rich person accused
Case B:
- crime x (the very same as case A)
- law y (the very same as case A)
- poor person accused
It's vitally important that you compare the very same crime to which the very same law is applied. There's no use to compare a poor guy's murder in India in 1927 with a rich guy's rape in Australia in 2010. The only variable has to be the income/wealth of the accused person. It also doesn't have to be the same court or judge, because we can assume that to be independent and equal as long the applied law remains constant.
Obviously you need to have 2 cases. Find a case of fraud (or whatever Enron was charged with) with a poor person accused and you can make a point.
"The wife of a former Minnesota Vikings player and current restaurant owner runs into a man and kills him in a car accident, leaves the scene, yet she’s not in jail."
This was one of first google results, call me crazy but common sense tells me that in this case most of the people would rot in jail till trial. Then, it might be that i don't understand words justice and law....
You're spinning the story beyond recognition, i gave you an examples from recent history, same norms apply for both of them, i can't give you example of poor person who stole millions of dollars, and if you fraud someone for hundred dollars and for hundred millions it is not the same criminal act.
and as i see someone posted you example you were looking for.
EDIT: never underestimate jerks *sighs*. Of course providing links or at least names instead of totally random anonymous cases, is a requirement, as well.
Ok what info do you want? Privatizations gone under here? Proof of undemocratic conduct of US. Proof that US is not democracy run by big businesses? That civil rights there are getting stripped of the ordinary man every minute? Feel free to type whatever you want.
That constitutional court ruled 10 times this year something unconstitutional. It wasn't just an occasional good decision. I just picked that case because it was the most popular.
Surely preventive detention works well in Guantanamo, even better with the new National Defense Authorization Act, if Obama signs it. As I said before, the US don't have a perfect democracy, and if that law goes alive I wouldn't hesitate to say the US are screwed a lot more than they are now. I'm glad our constitution forbids detention without trials for anyone, torture and the like.
Guantanamo and that last sentence doesn't go hand in hand, how come there is no detention without trials and there is guantanamo? In fact when you come to think about it one country that produced so much wars and misery in last decade shouldn't have the right call itself democracy.
If the Japanese government claimed Gaddafi was killed by aliens, would you believe it too, without any hint of source or confirmation of that statement, just because it opposes the view of Western media?
I'm sure he just tripped over stairs, accidentally stabbing himself and shooting himself in the process.
Personally i doubt that anything in Libya was done without US approval.
Really interesting thing with those bodies, sadam and his sons - televised, gaddafi - televised, bin laden - due to respect for muslims buried at sea, what a joke
Let's not forget that not long ago the richest man in the world fell into the hands of his own people, was pistol whipped, knifed & shot in the head. I think every head of state probably sat up on hearing that and may be one reason why Putin is treading cautiously on the issue of the demonstrations. Democracy will not come overnight to Russia, but inch-by-inch the people are fighting for it and I wish them well.
I see its all peachy in the countries you choosed to implement "democracy"? Came in screwed up functional countries took the oil and country restoration contracts leaving a mess behind yourself you love to call "democracy".
About Putin i will quote myself:
Someone knifed and shot Gates?
Wouldn't say he is overly cautious, he said election results were realistic, next time they will install cameras and promised 10 billions to EU with message to bug off from Russian internal affairs.
Democracy is an illusion, and people in their stupidity are fighting for new set of thieves to get into control of country, simple as that, but while we are on the subject what is an example of democratic country you wish for russians?
