The influence of democracy served to increase the tension of a crisis because elected politicians felt it necessary to pander to the most irrational and crass motivations of the electorate in order to ensure future election, and did this by playing on hatred and fear of powerful neighbors or on such appealing issues of territorial expansion, nationalistic pride, a place in the sun, outlets to the sea, and other real or imagined benefits. At the same time, the popular newspaper press, in order to sell papers, played on the same motives and issues, arousing their peoples, driving their own politicians to extremes, and alarming neighboring states to the point where they hurried to adopt similar kinds of action in the name of self-defense. Moreover, democracy made it impossible to examine international disputes on their merits, but instead transformed every petty argument into an affair of honor and national prestige so that no dispute could be examined on its merits or settled as a simple compromise because such sensible approach would at once be hailed by ones democratic opposition as a loss of face and an unseemly compromise of exalted moral principles. excerpt from Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley

Lyrics:
As we need a ‘Why’
And I’ll the ‘Who’ for an

If the world had one neck, my hands would be the ‘where’

if itss too dumb to see, or say, you still sing it
I’ll just cue the applause

Lets make sure the music is loud enough we won’t even hear it end
Lets make sure the music is loud enough we won’t even hear it end

Give me a picket sign

Your demons want to give you a propper goodbye

All you vote beep beep beep

Lil cush make my eyes and my shoulders drop,

Put the K in the car while we ridin blazed,

Bet the house on the youngen n we got paid.
Triple colors on the bikes n the new mercedes.
Bustin keys on they while we got paid.
But my tens ridein hot to an open bay,
uptown made man out the hard way
crap in the bucket 50 shots make a way.

Ball till ya fall stuntin wit them paper plates,

We in the club poppin bottles like erday.
We grind for the shine nigga getting big money.
Got a fleet tossin chicken nigga get cake,

The Lion Man, Craig Busch, has questioned safety measures at the wildlife park where a game keeper was mauled to death by a tiger this week.

Dalu Mncube was killed after being attacked by a 260kg white male tiger called Abu on Wednesday.

Mr Busch, who is currently involved in a hearing before the Employment Relations Authority over his dismissal from the Zion Wildlife Gardens, gave a statement to media this afternoon.

Mr Busch said Mr Mncube was the most experienced employee at the park to be dealing with the male tigers while he himself was not there.

“I think there needs to be more experience,” Mr Busch said.

In a halting and emotional voice Mr Busch said he wanted to say goodbye to his friends Dalu and Abu and was sad to see them die the way they did.

“I am deeply concerned about the future of the park, safety issues, the way it is being managed and the well-being of these animals,” Mr Busch said.

He said his protocol with the tigers was that no one was to go inside the enclosure without him.

“Even at times I didn’t feel like going in there, I’d have to lock them up to go and clean out,” Mr Busch said.

He said when he was at the park there were “no behavioural issues” with the tiger.

“My issues are, number one - is safety at this park, also the management and the rising debt that has tripled in the last few years and also, the well-being of these animals, which is a big one.”

Asked if the attack would have happened if he was at the park, Mr
Busch said: “I don’t know.”

Later he said: “The best person to handle these animals is right here, you’re looking at him.”

He said he raised many of the tigers from a young age and he knew them “inside out”.

“I raised Abu from a young age. To see him destroyed is also a tragedy to me,” Mr Busch said.

He said his protocol was to lock the tigers in another enclosure while cleaning out their enclosure.

Mr Busch said he would have used a quad bike to charge the cat, had it been handy.

He also said he would have used a fire extinguisher, which staff at the park had reportedly used to try and rescue Mr Mncube.

Mr Busch was asked if the park was an ongoing viable operation.

He said if any of the animals were put down, he would “not be
amused”.

He avoided questions about his dismissal but denied smoking marijuana while with the cats in an enclosure at the park, an allegation which was earlier made by a carpenter at an ERA hearing.

Three investigations into the death of Mr Mncube are underway. Police, the Department of Labour and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry are all interviewing witnesses to Mr Mncube’s death.

I made this video a few days ago, and didnt get around to posting it until today.
Please comment, rate, and subscribe.

Article Titled: The Can From China

I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT THE COUNTRY MARKET.

ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID ‘FROM CHINA’.

FOR EXAMPLE THE “OUR FAMILY” BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN ‘FROM CHINA’.

I WAS SHOCKED!!

SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT’S FROM CALIF.

TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear — or — is it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the ex-Bush Administration for perceived errors.

Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.

Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says ‘Made in China’ or ‘PRC’ (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that’s a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor…fast!!

The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh !!!

The solution? Let’s give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June
4, and continue it until July 4. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, June 4 to July 4.

EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let’s show them that we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted..

If we can’t live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on, America !

*New version with intro title and credits, submitted to the 2009 Bicycle Film Festival

WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY:
This is a video time lapse from my 70 day bike ride with Texas 4000 from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska during the summer of 2008. Over 40 cyclists biked in what was the 5th year of the ride, dedicated to raising money for cancer research and awareness while spreading hope, knowledge and charity along the way.

Our team was split up into two routes to maximize the aforementioned three fold mission of the organization. I was on the Coastal route, traveling 4,569.2 miles across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, into Canada, British Columbia, Yukon Territory and into Alaska. I fastened a video camera on a tripod head onto my bike handle bars to capture all the footage in this video. For more information or to donate please visit www.texas4000.org

Music (used with permission) is “Atlas” by the band Battles off their album Mirrors… a song that pumped me up everyday before hitting the road!
