What In the Wide, Wide World of Sports Is Going On Here? is a famous line from a cult Mel Brook's classic movie, "Blazzing Saddles." The 1974 movie was in fact the first R rated movie I ever saw, at the ripe young age of 11, I can never forget the campfire scene of the cowboys eating beans. The line that uses the ABC hit sports show to ask the ultimate question. As a defense attorney, in cross examination you never ask a question that you do not know the answer or in other words as my Trial professor would say, "you never ask the ultimate question." Well, I am asking what in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here? The $700 Billion Bailout has ballooned to $7.7 Trillion, the bloomberg headline reads, U.S. Pledges Top $7.7 Trillion to Ease Frozen Credit that represents over 50% of the Gross Domestic Product GDP for 2007.
On November 12, 2008, my article, THE COMING AVALANCHE WHO WILL BAILOUT THE U.S.A. is coming true, the avalanche is getting bigger and more disastrous. The Bailout end is not coming soon, but the damage has been done. Mr. Obama will compound the problem once he has the power of the Executive Branch, the result will be a Depression, the likes that the world has not known. In 1930 Herbert Hoover raised taxes and interfered with the markets and FDR continued down that same path which compounded the Great Depression. Now, seven decades later, we as a country are heading down the same path, with the government taking control of the credit markets and pledging 50% of one year of the USA's GDP. This is totally out of control, not to mention that our children, our grand-children and great grand-children will be responsible for the decisions made by our leaders today. What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here? A takeover of our liberty by the all powerful, all knowing, and ever present STATE. We the People . . . this is how our Constitution begins, We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Does the Bailout secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity? No it does not. The State is heading down the drain and it is taking we the people down with it.
'Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it' and even our leaders have forgotten. The Headline reads Americans Don't Know Civics, from USA TODAY. What is even more alarming, is that our leaders do not know our history or civics. You can take the quiz to see how well you know. I was disappointed by my results, I missed two of the questions, so my score was 31 out of 33 for 94%. The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%. Can you do better? The ISI CIVIC QUIZ:
What In the Wide, Wide World of Sports Is Going On Here? We the People have forgotten our history and we are allowing the all powerful STATE to limit our liberty.
