Some Thoughts for Unity-08

MAY 31, 2007 --

LPR heard Chris Matthews, May 27, refer to the rest of the year as "the last six months of the campaign."

To borrow an Imus expression:  is he nuts?   Or has the 2008 presidential election been moved up a year?

The media guys remind me of  high school students who, unprepared for history class,  want the teacher, instead, to lead a class discussion on current events.

LPR has a hunch media news people would rather prefer to speak off the tops  of their  talking heads than do some digging to see what the current office-holders are up to, governance-wise.

 Might it not be helpful to the public to be informed which oil refineries are not in operation and why?

Might it not be helpful to the public to be informed if credit card companies receive windfall profits on their 29% interest rates that are imposed AFTER cardholders receive their cards.

For LPR, the media has little interest in keeping the public informed on current aggrandizing trends in the economy, trends that do not seem to serve the common good.

If Unity-08 wants to get the system back on track, it might start by examining the political blueprint better known as The Federalist Papers.
