George W Bush's statement:
Laura and I are anguished by the brutal suffocation of George Floyd and disturbed by the injustice and fear that suffocate our country. Yet we have resisted the urge to speak out, because this is not the time for us to lecture. It is time for us to listen. It is time for America to examine our tragic failures – and as we do, we will also see some of our redeeming strengths.
It remains a shocking failure that many African Americans, especially young African American men, are harassed and threatened in their own country. It is a strength when protesters, protected by responsible law enforcement, march for a better future. This tragedy — in a long series of similar tragedies — raises a long overdue question: How do we end systemic racism in our society? The only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving. Those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of America — or how it becomes a better place.
America’s greatest challenge has long been to unite people of very different backgrounds into a single nation of justice and opportunity. The doctrine and habits of racial superiority, which once nearly split our country, still threaten our Union. The answers to American problems are found by living up to American ideals — to the fundamental truth that all human beings are created equal and endowed by God with certain rights. We have often underestimated how radical that quest really is, and how our cherished principles challenge systems of intended or assumed injustice. The heroes of America — from Frederick Douglass, to Harriet Tubman, to Abraham Lincoln, to Martin Luther King, Jr. — are heroes of unity. Their calling has never been for the fainthearted. They often revealed the nation’s disturbing bigotry and exploitation — stains on our character sometimes difficult for the American majority to examine. We can only see the reality of America’s need by seeing it through the eyes of the threatened, oppressed, and disenfranchised.
That is exactly where we now stand. Many doubt the justice of our country, and with good reason. Black people see the repeated violation of their rights without an urgent and adequate response from American institutions. We know that lasting justice will only come by peaceful means. Looting is not liberation, and destruction is not progress. But we also know that lasting peace in our communities requires truly equal justice. The rule of law ultimately depends on the fairness and legitimacy of the legal system. And achieving justice for all is the duty of all.
This will require a consistent, courageous, and creative effort. We serve our neighbors best when we try to understand their experience. We love our neighbors as ourselves when we treat them as equals, in both protection and compassion. There is a better way — the way of empathy, and shared commitment, and bold action, and a peace rooted in justice. I am confident that together, Americans will choose the better way.

已逝世的美國前總統老布希也是個參與二戰的英雄,他原先在學校就讀且是個棒球隊隊員,1941年受到珍珠港事件影響加入海軍,在他尚未年滿19歲時就正式被授與任務成為真正的海軍飛行員,派駐到聖哈辛托號航空母艦(USS San Jacinto CVL-30)上,是當時最年輕的海軍飛行員之一
二戰期間,他從開戰到結束時擔任美國海軍的魚雷轟炸機飛行員,並執行了共58次的軍事任務,他曾在1944年一場於日本位於太平洋中的離島小笠原群島所發生的海戰中,在父島附近遭到日軍炮火擊中,最後布希被美國潛艦救起

布希:「政治不需惡毒醜陋」
1993年1月20日,當年輕的民主黨的比爾柯林頓擊敗只做一任就敗選的共和黨老布希總統,可想見選戰之激烈。老布希要離開白宮之前,在桌上留下一封信給柯林頓:
「Dear Bill,
When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too.
I wish you great happiness here. I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described.
There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I'm not a very good one to give advice; but just don't let the critics discourage you or push you off course.
You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.
Your success now is our country's success. I am rooting hard for you.
Good luck—
George
親愛的比爾
剛剛最後再走進這間辦公室,我的感受還是跟四年前一樣,依然覺得神奇並充滿敬意,我知道你也會有這種感覺。我祝福你在這裡會得到無比快樂,我從未有其他總統們所謂的孤獨感。
接下來你會面臨非常艱難的挑戰,有很多你認為非常不公平的批評也必須面對。我不是一個擅長給人建議的人,但想鼓勵你,不要讓這些批評讓你失去鬥志、或改變你的方向。當你看到這封信的時候,你將成為我們的大家的總統,我祝福你一切順利,也祝福你的家人一切都好。
你的成功就是我們國家的成功,我會堅定為你加油。祝你好運。
喬治」
老布希:「跟某人意見不同不代表你們要成為敵人」、「政治不需惡毒醜陋」。柯林頓收到信表示,這是一封像家人一樣溫暖的信,一輩子不會忘記。政治上的對手,後來也成為一生的朋友。能不能有優雅的政治學。歷經過去這一週,讀布希有感。

World's best motorcycle pants are RHOK (search Ebay for them) I got directed to a couple of websites that talked about this. Not 100% on it though. Correct me if I'm wrong.
"Anonymous (the group) has known about this a while and look like they want to do something about it, they had a website that was planning how to campaign against this bill but the website was shut down (probably one of their enemy hackers) luckily this page (page given has since been taken down, conspiracy?) has all the details, it has a link to the official documents of the bill. It dates back to 2007 so it was Bush's administration that started it but Obama might be carrying on with it. Here's the official pdf document ( http://www.ustr.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/factsheets/2008/asset_upload_file760_15084.pdf )"
