They did not delare their independence so that they could go pass out care packages in Africa! They wanted to be happy! Now get off my back about the freaking peace corp.

There is nothing about the damn peace corp in the Constitution. I'm tired of hearing about the peace corp all the time like it's some freaking meca or something! There is a little thing about 'the pursuit of happiness' in the Constitution though! Did you get that everyone? The pursuit of happiness! It was so important that the founding fathers went to war over it. They did not delare their independence so that they could go pass out care packages in Africa! They wanted to be happy! Now get off my back about the freaking peace corp.

Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act Date: October 27 2007 No: 1206 Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them."

Last summer Peace Corps Inspector General David Kotz cited the lack of cooperation from the US embassy in Bolivia in the search for missing Peace Corps Volunteer Walter Poirier III. Now a member of the US Embassy Staff in Bolivia is accused of asking Peace Corps Volunteers "to basically spy" on Cubans and Venezuelans in the country.

Hey Hey, that's my line! How come all I hear about is war and mass murder and medals for committing mass murder, along with pats on the back and dinners and recognition and overspend the budget with a smirk and brainwashing...

I'd like to know please.

And I really and truly would like to know
where is so much mecca data about Peace Corps.
Only place I know of is PeaceCorpsOnline.org
which is a website for those into repairing not killing off. Why are you reading PCOL?
Am I missing somthing?
