When I first saw this clip on VH1's WebJunk ... I was only halfway paying attention. So I thought it was a church guy singing about Revelations in the Bible.
Now I know that he works for a bank and the bank is proud about buying another bank .. and now you just need "one card" "one bank" ....
Well, that sounds a lot like Armageddon to me ... and this is NOT a good thing. I love Bono and U2, and I've always loved that song ... but guess what ... the original song ("One" by U2) is not about profits and money and acquisition ...
IT'S ABOUT LOVE ... so leave money (the root of all evil) out of that song. This guy doesn't realize he's singing about "one currency", like in Revelations ... so that the devil can track us better. This is NoT anything to sing about.

Living While Black (LWB)
Talk to me ... have you ever been shopping or just walking somewhere, and a non-Black person suddenly feels the urge to get a tight grip on their purse or bag???? I don't really know if that's happened to me, but I know it's happened to a LOT of other Black people.
I was thinking ... it would be funny to do the same thing when I see a non-Black person approaching my path ... and make it REALLY obvious what I was doing ... like I need to protect myself from a potentially theiving/non-trustworthy "White collar" criminal
... I don't know, what do you think???? Flip the script ... turn the tables????

Presidential Authority
You know what I was wondering? Ok, the vice prez takes over if something happens to the prez .... what if something happens to the vice prez? who takes over ... and so on down the line? What's the chain of command?
How can The People vote to impeach a prez?
I didn't know Clinton was impeached .. yes, I knew there was that huge trial and what not, but I didn't know it ended in impeachment. I thought impeachment meant that the prez is fired and can't continue job. But when Clinton was impeached ... he continued working as president. Ok, I'd like to impeach Bush, but I don't want him to continue working as prez. I would like Bush and his entire staff fired. How do you completely remove a president from office, while he's in office (besides not voting for him)?

Should President Bush Be Impeached?
Attorney John Bonifaz argues the president has commited high crimes by lying to the American public and Congress about Iraq in the lead-up to the invasion. He makes his case in the new book “Warrior-King: The Case For Impeaching George W. Bush."
...
One of the main reasons for the book’s ["My Life", by Bill Clinton] popularity is undoubtedly Clinton’s account of the events that led him to become the second American president in US history to be impeached.
...
While Clinton was impeached over a personal scandal, some say President George W Bush should be impeached for much serious crimes.
