Just one quick side note! I heard Bush bragging about his economy and tax cuts and he reiterated that since he got into office we went to hell in a hand basket. No just kidding. He lyingly bragged that the economy has grown by $1.9 trillion since he took office. He neglected to mention at $2 trillion he created more debt than every President combined almost since our founding. Also that he forgot to include that in his figures because we conveniently won't start paying on it until he is gone so he doesn't have to include it in his figures and once again he is able to lie and mislead.
Anyay, I wanted to discuss that last week when Russia declared that it had successfully planted their flag at the bottom of the Artic caiming it as Russian territory Russia was disturbed that Canada the US and others dismissed it as a joke saying that is worthless in the 21st Century. Myself I wasn't so sure as it seems like a scary ratchetting up of the race for future resources and world domination. Well attitudes are changing when recent events are taken into account.
