No, it hasn't deviated from the Austin topic.
As far as I'm concerned, it is VERY possible that the burning of the Governor's Mansion (in Austin) was a statement....possibly by a drug cartel.
If you have been paying attention to the news the national media DOES NOT want you to pay attention to, we now have TERRORISM on OUR SOIL. While YOU are thinking about Iraq, you are not paying attention to what is happening on our own soil, in our backyards. 6,000 people estimated dead now along the border due to the War on Drugs. the city of Laredo has set up its own website for reporting new and missing people. WAKE UP!!!!
Beheadings, like they did on Al-Jazeera TV are happening along the border - go to Glennbeck.com if you'd like to see the dead bodies and heads which have been left with signs warning anyone who dares to stop the cartels.
I don't doubt the Mansion burning was a statement. Whoever did it had a lot of anger and courage knowing there were that many cameras in the area. So, IF........IF......this was a drug cartel statement, then I have a personal anger towards EVERYONE OF YOU who drinks alcohol, yet has the audacity to say you don't do drugs. IF YOU DRINK, you do drugs. Alcohol is a deadly drug responsible for an estimated 400,000 deaths in the U.S. alone. THAT IS A DRUG. Now, you are responsible for a policy on drugs that has never worked. On top of it, you are hypocrites.
So, thanks to all you self righteous people who drink, get behind the wheel (oh, but I can self monitor!!!
), and then tells the rest of us you don't do drugs. If you dip, chew, spit, drink, smoke, use aspirin, etc, you do drugs. Now stop ruining this country with your self righteousness. All of you who have posted on here about "well, I used to, but look at me! I stopped so I'm better than the rest of you......blah blah....oh, but yeah, I drink, but that's not the same, blah blah" Oh yes it is. That's why there's rehab for alcohol.
Fact is, prisoners are testing positive for HIV and now, lead poisoning. An estimated 1/3 of all prisoners across the nation are testing positive for lead poisoning. good job!
Prison is not an answer, it does not do anything but complicate the problem. Any of you disagree, that tells me, #1 you don't know much about much, #2 you don't know much about much, #3 you have no ability to think, #4 you still don't know much about much, #5 you are a follower, not a leader.....and you are easy to manipulate.
I am very disappointed in so many of you who fail to demonstrate anything intelligent at all. I am very, very disappointed in you.
