POPSCorporations Stiffing Government on Fines Profit is the bottom line for every corporation. Damage to the enviroment and humans are secondary. If companys would just pay to fix the areas of violation, I think it would equal the amount they rack up in fines yearly. But hey, they are not paying the fines or they renegotiate for a lower penalty, so know I know why they don't fix the areas that aren't up to stadards.

POPSThe Real ID Act: This reminds me of scenes from old movies depicting Nazi Germany and the Gestapo. At a checkpoint, a gaurd says, "Sir, may I please see your papers." They are carrying guns and stationed at just one out of hundreds of checkpoints manned throughout Nazi Germany to keep track of EVERYONE. The Introduction of a National I.D. card will be similar. You will have an I.D. no. and all kinds of info about you will be filed under that no. and linked in a national database. The modern day Gestapo. I'm probably raising the eyebows of FBI right now for mentioning Gestapo in this clip. They're probably watching. They have the power to do so secretly.

POPSSigns of weakening democracy This apparent "war on terror" is never going to end in my lifetime, so does this mean that the gov. will have rights that are exclusive to wartime for the rest of our countries' existance? This sounds like a dictatorship to me. Not being able to hold authorities accountable and knowing motives and info behind their actions is very dangerous for a democracy.

POPSU.S. Constitution: Fourth Amendment The gov. today performs illegal searches and seizures without probale cause contrary to the 4th Amendment of th Constitution. The gov. is not above the law. They also must particularly describe circumstances and obtain warrants accordingly. Most Americans are ignorant to such facts and our civil liberties are stripped under the guise of "terrorism"
