I love "Boston Legal"

Why? Because usually somewhere in the show they speak social, legal and political truths..and economic truths.

For example in tonight's show where the mal-practiced death of a man's solder brother sues the hospital and doctors. The lawyer representing the military hospital uses the "Ferris Act" where no soldier can sue the government! Larry argues that most soldiers are "backdoor drafted" from the poor sides of town where they desperately need money! I'm telling you Republican government is evil! Larry argued too that soldiers make next to nothing while Blackwater security made hundreds of thosands dollar (in tax payer money). Just how sick is our Republican administration! It's evil and it's sick. Is Nancy Peloski in on this too! Are they are sick money grubbers out to please the lobbyist and the oil men? Are they all getting lobbist kick backed.. while our nations tax payers slip rapidly out of the middle class and more and more into poverty?

What kind of a sick society is this? Why every day as I listen to public radio and hear about different books and hear their author's speak I'm become more and more appalled! Can we slip any lower?

Today I heard, and I know it's been going on since Nixon that corn and soy bean crops are singled out to get government aid to their growers, our local farmers. And beef and pork or now not grown on the farm but in so called "feed lots" where animals are mistreated and stand all day in pens, much like chickens do. Animals are shot full of antibiotics because being that close together they can get sick. They are pumped full of fast fattening foods and hormones and who knows what else so they grow fast and faster and faster yet.

Fossil fuels are used in fertizers and pesticides on the grain farms that are subsidized by the government. Yields have been engeneered to far out produce yields of the past. Farmers can be fined for holding back grain for following season seed. Monsanto and and other companies want farmers to buy seed every year (makes monetary sense to them).

Corn fruitose sugar is non-nutritional and used in everything from soda to cookies. No wonder people are getting so fat and sick with diabetes and other diseases. We eat crap! Vegetable farmers do not get the same breaks as corn and soybean farmers. For that matter, other grains do not get the same government subsidizing either.

Michael Pollin who wrote "Farmer to the Chief" and other books on the same subject says new types of farming such as the crop and cattle feeding rotation that Venzeuela uses could be successfully used in our own Midwest. They grow crops in Venzeuela for five years and then raise cattle on the same land for three years after turning that crop land into grassy lands. The process adds nitrotion to the soil so no fertizilier has to be used and no pesticides because when you roatate crops it confuses pests and at the same time adds nitrition back into the soil. For example corn robs the soil of nitrition and cow manuria and soybean refurnish nitrition to the soil. In other words after adding "green" farming can be a part of adding new jobs to this country after Obama gets elected. Trust me, you will never see the Republican, oil men, do this!

We truly need change in Washington and I think every American is just about at their wits end with these oil monger, war for oil money grubbing, greedy, crooked, lying Repbulicans. McCain is no different than another Karl Rove or Dick Cheney with their let's just see how we can screw the American tax payer today, mentality! I'm sick of it!

Whatever happened to the protesting, demanding, in your face hippies? We baby boomers? We need to march on Washington if the Republicans fool us again with another tricky electon win. Beware!

Or maybe they'll let it go this time since they (republicans) have us so far in debt they'll "let" a Democrat win in order to come in and clean up their filthy economic mess! I think these past 8 years have been the worse I have seen yet in this nation. Beginning by two iffy election wins. A questionable do is responsbile NYC attack. Phony excuses to go to Iraq, not even the country where the so called middle eastern terrorist "may" have come from? All questionable! A clear war for Halliburton and Blackwater profits and tax payer money waste - well they stuff the money in their pockets, but paid their security forces far better than this lousy government pays our tricked-into-troops. I guess much like our wonderful mortgage industry tricked new buyers and existing home owners into financing and re-financing with fault informationa for balloon loans.

This lousy republican government has de-regulated and turned a blind eye to crooked practices so big shot CEO's can fill their pockets and waste money on themselves while cheating stock holders and workers out of decent wages. Wages that could keep them in the middle class. Just how not self-serving and short sighted is that? Hello, any decent democracy and economy wants the people who are paying taxes to make enough money so they pay enought taxes. But these crooks in and around Washington and Wall Street are too greedy and stupid to think that far ahead!

I too think oil prices have recently deliberating been lowered because we are less than two weeks away from election day! I think the government and especially the sneaky, crooked, unethical republicans of Rove, Cheney, Bush and daddy Bush are the worse of the lot. Just think way back when before Nixon, daddy Bush was head of the CIA, then he was Nixon's VP, then he served four years as President but failed four more years to Clinton. I guess that pissed him off.. because for eight solid years while Clinton was trying to act as president they tried to dirty him and bring him down while Ken Star wasted millions of tax payers dollars. Still Clinton managed to balance the budget and find jobs for people. He left the country in a profitable state when he left office. I do believe their was trickery in the 2000 and 2004 elections.. probably in "W"'s Texas election too and Jeb's. They get what they want and Mr. Bush sees to it.

Just ready the many books that are out there and watch the many DVD's pretaining to the subjects.. it's where I get my material. Read Kevin Phillips and Thomas L Friedman. Watch the DVD "Who Killed the Electric Car?" and watch "Iraq for Sale: War for Profit"

It's why I love watching "Boston Legal" and I'm sorry to see it go off the air. This is their last season. Will they will be running out of material soon anyway when Obama gets elected. Finally, a president for the people instead of the crooks in big business and greedy CEO's for the already rich! Boston Legal can really nail them and tell the truth as the truth is! A wonderful show!
