isPermaLink="false">http://www.ronpaul.com/?p=1913#comment-17865</guid> <description>Time to StartThe loudest scream anyone can have comes from within, A persons inner conscious saying what needs to be maid right. This monster “our country” has turned into is so shameful, We allow mass murder in country’s that have no financial gain &amp; destabilize other country’s thru needless wars &amp; the criminalization of a few untaxed drugs.Here are some things that I know are wrong with America. First, People in this country think immigrants have no right to be here. America is made up of immigrants. People who feel that they shouldn’t be here need to look in the mirror &amp; think about all the Native Americans that our ancestors murdered to make this our home. I say every human has a right to be anywhere on Gods earth.
Secondly, The way “our government” cheats and lies about a multitude of things &amp; the way it “polices” the Earth.  For example, “our government” cheats us by allowing large corporations to cut our health care benefits &amp; at the same time gives these corporations large tax cuts. How can we live in the richest nation the world has ever seen &amp; “our government” spend 30 million $ on one airplane, When we have high unemployment &amp; working family’s with no healthcare &amp; no benefits? This must stop at all cost, No matter how long it takes us. There are a relativity small number of families that own about 65% of the United States media network (people like Ted Turner), Which is where we get our “so called news from“. On November 8th, 2000, Three news stations stated that Al Gore had been elected to be the president of America. Only minutes later the fox news network announces that George W Bush had been elected to be the president. Funny how “things” can change in the blink of an eye. Further more, Is America the bully of the Earth? We sell weapons to countries then send “our so called troops” to destroy those same arms. (YES ITS TRUE, LOOK IT UP)(national sales product)Thirdly, It should be noted that alcohol, prescription dope, &amp; tobacco kills more Americans every year than any illegal drug combined within each year (YES ITS TRUE, LOOK IT UP) (census report). Yet  Marijuana, Not a man made substance but put on this earth by God, Continues to be classified as an “illegal drug”. Could it be “our government” garners more monetarily by classifying Gods creation as an “illegal drug”? Is “our government” saying God made a mistake? Marijuana is just another commodity, No different than any other consumer product. “our government” calls it a “war on drugs” but its not, It’s a war on your personal freedom, A freedom our founding fathers fought to create. The drugs that are illegal in America, Other country’s depend on for financial security. If marijuana was legal it would be taxed &amp; it would create new jobs for Americans. What’s wrong with a world were everyone gets along? Also, Why not use some of the money we spend on weapons each year to feed, clothe and educate the poor of the world, So we Americans have no enemies, &amp; we as a human race may explore all of outer space together in peace and perhaps sustain life on another planet. A planet free of corporate corruption, political slugs and war. (Some say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one)(John Lennon)Life is about choices &amp; you only live once, So try what you want. It doesn’t matter what your family says or the law. Would you rather eat with your fingers &amp; be a free man, Or eat with a silver spoon on a chain? I would rather die fighting to be free, Than live to be a 1000 years old as a slave. It’s time we the people of this country stand up for what is right. There is corruption from our local Government &amp; law enforcement, All the way to the White House. The old saying goes “don’t blame the messenger“, But everyone knows that cops are paid criminals, Just because the people who enforce the law has a badge &amp; gun doesn’t make them right,  Fuck the Law, your right. It’s called the American dream, Because you have to be asleep to believe it, So wake up America its time to start.Sincerely,    Clinton S Bagzby</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time to Start</p><p>The loudest scream anyone can have comes from within, A persons inner conscious saying what needs to be maid right.
