Thom i asked Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia to look into helping Abraham Bolden to recieve A Presidential pardon. if possible maybe you can talk to Rep.johnson or his staff about your knowledge of the injustice done to Mr. Bolden.

Thank you, your back on now

I wish that Thom would talk about the Gulf of Mexico as a disaster not just for u.s., but rather as an international disaster. Tuna spawn in two bodies of water: the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. What affect is the oil gush from the Gulf floor having on Mexico and the nations of the Caribbean? Being u.s.-centric doesn’t help u.s. to grow up and accept that u.s. is part of the international community. Billy Clinton forced that awareness on u.s. when he signed the NAFTA and WTO agreements. His signature on those documents guaranteed that u.s. would become a third world resource for the first world/international corporations/exploiters. I audibly moaned when he did that. The fact that so few people recognized that fact, simply points to the fact that so many of u.s. are u.s.-centric with no clue as to the real experience of being third world. No one bothered to understand that u.s. has viciously, greedily exploited the resources of the nations of the world. And now that that u.s. resources are being exploited by other first world/international corporations, everyone is squealing and complaining and deeply insulted. The u.s. style of life is NOT sustainable for the entire world, let alone for just u.s. The U.S. can continue being a leader, a co-leader, by stepping up and following the lead of Norway and Germany and others in efforts to find alternatives to shelter, energy production/use, and food production. Give huge, extended tax breaks to those alternatives. Wake up—u.s. is a member of the world—always has been and always will be.
