The US Govt does do dangerous experiments targeting blacks. Tuskugee ended in the early 1970's, but experiments continue to this day, in places like Baltimore and St. Louis.
New Orleans is on some of the most valuable land in the world, and the slower the recovery, the fewer blacks will remain. (How come a similar disaster in San Diego last fall was taken care of almost instantly?) The trailers used as temporary housing for blacks after Katrina have proven poisonous.
And speaking of abominable housing for blacks, look at the happy faces of the white folk who've come up with a neat "green" idea for black folks: live in recycled shipping containers! And in case you miss it, the article mentions these will be in the Rosa Parks district, and for those who still don't get it, a map is provided just to be clear. What republicans do to brown people and darker overseas, democrats do to blacks in USA. A pox on both their houses!
When a Ron Paul says he wants to get rid of the Department of housing and Urban Development, he is not being racist, he is just tired of government targeting blacks.
When the democrats get back in power, we'll see far more of this.

Rev. Wright Is Correct
Wrecking Small Business
An immigration lawyer legally trades green cards to foreigners for real estate investment and disrupts free markets and business. It is not his fault, it is the rules the government wrote.
Microsoft Comes Up Short
Microsoft has unveiled a product they will inexplicably not market. It turns a wall into a touch-screen computer. I regretted wasting my time clicking to see this product. Of course Microsoft won't market the item, too many people have done better cheaper than all of Bill's horses and men. I saw a demo in China of the same thing some kid cooked up, dirt cheap and could be projected onto a table, wall ceiling, anything... drag and drop, fingertip control... I want one!. (I noticed the blog comments also mentioned several other versions out there. I am shorting Microsoft.
My Private Jet
OK, not yet, but at $500,000 it is a lot closer... do check out the photos... the thing comes with a built in parachute. The second item you can keep... And notice both items are from small, unknown businesses... just as IBM never thought the microcomputer would ever take off, Boeing and Airbus are not taking private jets seriously.

Heckler
Heckling has a wonderful tradition, and the "Prime Ministers Questions" televised on the BBC is a wonderful show. there is a software product called "twitter" that allows poplein a conference to share views mong themselves without the presenters on the stage knowing what is going on.
A much better product would be a system for showing the people on stage what the people in the audience think... of course this has always happened with heckling, but a benign system that rated and prioritized the audience reactions and views, and then displayed these to the presenter would be a huge benefit. Build in afeedback form, and I will be your first customer.
US Export Sales Dropping Fast
US Census is reporting both imports and Exports are dropping, supporting my claim that a weak dollar hurts USA exports, not helps exports. As USA goods get cheaper for foreign buyers, very quickly our overseas competitors lower their prices, eliminating any benefit to a weak dollar for USA manufacturers.
This is not to say there is not plenty of business to do, there is. It is just in th areas of unnatural economy, people are going to get hammered.

USA Policies Assure Starvation
The World Bank and IMF push through policies that say Honduras must not have trade barriers, but USA can export subsidized grain. And they call this free trade! Of course, such policies assure people whose skin is brown or darker starve. In time I'll have to support with fact my contention that USA economic policy is genocidal... when the goal is genocide, the means are genocidal, the results are genocide... at what point do people say "genocide?"
Neither McCain, Obama nor Hillary, although Hillary will be president, will change any of this.
