                    Can we tell the truth from a lie?


















 The cost of the Police actions in the Middle East worth the stealing from education?

These numbers are fact. We need to think before we vote and accept poor leadership. Many questions can be born if we think. Number one question.
Who and why are we in the Middle East? Is war declared?
Do we have we a Army or a Police action type military?
Why are we spending one trillion on war?
Do you know that does not count the V.A Hospital cost of almost 400 billion
for Soldiers wounded?
Why are there 40 million people on food stamps?
Why have 20 million men and woman who gave up?

                         Can we tell the truth from a lie?

Poor men and woman at work.
Hours cut from 40 hours to 28.
Big boss tell them.
"Nothing we can do.
You can get unemployment and welfare."
They walk out with tears and not understanding.
They work hard and what did they get.
Nothing from big business!

A Mama asked me to watch her daughter. My daughter best friend.
She lost her home and have no job.
My door is open for the girl and mother too.
No children or person should be homeless and alone.

Obama spend almost three million for a field trip to England.
3 million dollars can buy some bread and meat for the soup in a lot of soup kitchens.

1.1 billion dollar for House of Representatives to live on. $2.3 for each man and woman for food and office. Michigan will pay $41.4 million for out 18 people to eat like pigs and live like kings. 41.4 million could help many people.

I must steal a Neil Young line. "Come a time when we ain't blind." Pass a bill to cut the pension of Senators and House representative Federal and State.  You would be amazed how much money we pay for the people in-charge. Retired and active.

"Poor babies don't you cry.
Mama will make you some food.
40 million people on food stamp.
Obama say we are fine.
We will eat our bread and peanut butter.
Be glad.
Tomorrow can't get worst?"

The wave of anger must start.
A man or woman who wait for miracles.
Will died wishing he stood tall and fought for the right things.
Better to be part of life.
Then be forgotten like the middle and lower income class.


I don't know what can be done?
I tell you young and bright children.
Better fight for your rights to be free.
Best fight for the protection of the natural resources.
Best not allow corporations and big business to control your world.

Time is short.
Time to raise hell.
 It is time to stand together.
Many easy answers.

Less government.
No pensions for retire Senators and House representatives.
Big business must be held accounted for downsizing for sake of profit only.
Rich people and big business must pay taxes.
No more huge expense accounts for our so-call leaders.

"Come on children gather around.
I will tell you a story of liar and thieves.
One day the people got tire and demanded change.
The liars create ghosts and war to make the simple mind forget.
They may lose their home and their life.
But the people waited too long.
There was nothing left for them.
I wonder my children?
Is it too late to scream, demonstrate and write/e-mail the leaders.
Tell them.
We are tire.
We want a better ending for the people of the USA and the world.

Coyote Poetry
I apology for my wild and crazy thoughts. I get so tire of hearing of Obama taking a boatload of people to England. How many people are homeless outside the safety of the White house? 40 million men and woman on welfare. One in five people are desperate. Time for logical men with wisdom of what it true and what is a lie. A beat dog can rise up and bite your ass if you are not careful.

Not as crazy as you might think, Coyote. This is a good write. I actually heard that 60% of FY 2011 federal budget is going to entitlement programs such Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, and the 19% of the budget is on defense. Either way you slice it, our debt will be so massive, it will take 30,000 years to pay back.

Coyote I say go get him and bite him hard. I cannot say much on politics because I am blind to a lot. I am not blind to what you talked about here I see it all the time. I agree there are much things the money could be spent on, taking care of are children and the ederly. Very strong piece.

Every country throughout the history of the world had it times in the sun. Our time in the sun is setting as we speak.

Hi. I get tired of our military forces being used for nonmilitary purposes. An army's job is not to be police, not to hand out toys for kids, not to drop food, and not to be mediators in third-world squabbles. The only job of the US Army is to KILL OTHER ARMIES--period. And they are ONLY supposed to work for the US--not NATO, nor the EU, nor anyone else. Only America. I remember when the koran-burning preacher in Florida gained media attention, with people saying he was putting soldiers' lives in danger over in the middle east. In point of fact, that's nonsense--they were already getting shot at on a daily basis over there. The only thing that truly puts a soldier's life in danger is when his Commander in Chief back home doesn't have the courage and convictions to back him up when the time comes. If I may be so bold, one thing I'm sick of is watching Obama kiss the hands of our enemies in peace treaties and diplomatic meetings, instead of conquering them--as he SHOULD BE DOING. For an American like myself, there's nothing more humiliating than a weak president. If there's one thing history has proven, it's that if you want to bring peace to a lawless region such as the middle east, you conquer it completely, put a base there, and then get all the warlords who are squabbling, line them up, and explain that if anyone misbehaves, heads are gonna roll. In order to truly win any war, what America needs to do is stop giving a damn about what the rest of the world thinks about us. If WWII had been fought the way we're fighting the War on Terror right now, we'd all be speaking German or Japanese.

I do realize this makes me sound rather cold and brutal--perhaps even old-fashioned. Well, tough.

Very nicely put together, the figures aren't as high as that in the UK but we are considerably smaller than the US. However, comparably when put to scale we have our legitimate thieves as much as you do.

Over here the rich get richer and the poor survive the best they can. There is too much emphasis on statistics to show that a job is being done when statistics reveal very little about the nature of things. Catching 10 shoplifters is nothing like apprehending 2 burglars, 1 murderer, 1 rapist or a top drug dealer....but statistics show us the police here are working.
Exams are getting easier and information more readily available so the statistics for schooling have gone up.
I know of many 14 - 25 year olds who cannot even manage basic maths and english and this is poor for a country so highly regarded for educational institutes.
People who have bright ideas are stamped on so they are not a risk to the capitalist out there.

The list goes on and on about the concerns which we are being distracted from by the media, the government and the fat cats at the top (and let's not forget the good old English class system, where they will happily give a family member a job he is incapable of just so he is keeping the family going) and this happens at all levels...

You are correct and to quote Bob Dylan - Times they be a changin. Let's hope it's for the better.
