Mars Needs Haliburton!

After learning Halliburton is gouging taxpayers (an $87 billion payday not being obscene enough), comes word that in 2000, it presented Mars as “an unprecedented opportunity for improving our abilities to support oil and gas demands on Earth,” with Halliburton providing everything including “logging methods.”

Each new Bush “achievement” transfers the sacrificed earnings of hard working Americans into the coffers of corporate interests: the Medicare Bill profiting drug companies, Faith-Based schemes meant to benefit Fundamentalist churches, immigration changes (absolving the sins of Wal-Mart?) and the famed “Hummer2 tax deduction.” Even Helen Keller could see how Bush’s Space Odyssey will “innocently” benefit the military industrial complex at large.

To quote President Eisenhower, "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
