The problem is not ... ( 4 months ago by somethingawful01)
The problem is not how the money is spent, the problem is where the money comes from. Firms gain access to candidates, their agenda's and their policies and thus the US is ran by corporations not real administration. This democracy is only good for companies who will always make money, regardless of the candidate. The Romans at least had a Senate that used to remove its Dictator when they felt the need to. The US has a parliament that is just as guilty as the administrations themselves.

Providing an answer would greatly extend the piece. She couldn't just say "this is what needs to be done..." because that's editorializing. And while most US TV news media has no problem with that, its wrong. She would have had to talk to numerous experts, likely from think tanks and other similar groups. Those groups are spread across the country, which means more reporters would have to jump in. Furthermore, how do you know the anchor didn't have experts like that on as guests after the story?
Right, but Al ... ( 4 months ago by teemuruskeepaa)
Right, but Al Jazeera is missing the point. The problem is not how someone is elected, it is that there exists an election system in the first place. It works by the hegemony of the means of decision making and media, and makes people vote for someone to decide for them. People should have a direct opportunity to debate the decisions and the society the elite create, and give someone a leader's status only if their actions are an example of greatness.

People should give someone a leader's status, only if their actions are better than theirs. And that too should be evaluated in every individual case.

I think it is a travesty, how people think that the national representative system means justice, when democracy is not about who to vote, but how they could decide for themselves.

World Bank Control of YOU. HOW? Gas profits go to Arabs, Arabs treaty bound place in American Banks. World bank, through fractional reserve system ( I KNOW IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND), loan to 3rd World nations. COUNTERFIET fractional reserve is: your $1 dollar is made into $20 to LOAN, OUT OF THIN AIR. 3rd World Nations default on loans and "FORGIVEN" if, big IF, give PERPETUAL RIGHTS TO WORLD BANK. Same scheme is shafting AMERICANS. OBAMA=GEORGE SOROS PUPPET. SAVE THE REPUBLIC!

This is a terrorist channel which should be banned from America. The entire Al Jazeera crew operating here including the woman in this video should be led in shackles to the nearest prison with no trial and executed as soon as a gun can be loaded. Better yet, they should be shot on the street and the video sent back to wherever AlJazeera headquarters is as a warning. Then their headquarters should be bombed until a hole a mile deep is all that remains. All Islam could witness the consequences!!!
