11. It's your double standard

I didn't hear Obama laughing about the death of Bin Laden. The rest of the public 'laughing' is a red herring. I didn't see anyone laughing about it.

Did you even read the article that I linked to? No. Here is a summary of what was before Hillary.

1. In Libya a home is considered a natural human right
2. Education and medical treatment were all free
3. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project
4. It was free to start a farming business
5. A bursary was given to mothers with newborn babies ($5,000)
6. Electricity was free
7. Cheap petrol ($.14 per liter)
8. Gaddafi raised the level of education (Before 25% literate, after 87% with 25% graduate degrees)
9. Libya had It’s own state bank
10. The gold dinar (The real reason Gaddafi was killed. He wanted single African currency linked to gold. Africa could have gotten out of debt.)


Now, the people have absolutely no security, no matter what. What is more terrifying, then or now? When you have money it clouds your thinking. The poor did better in Libya than the poor do in our country.
