Don't start attacking the USA because of a bunch of greedy
bastards in the corporate and political world.
We don't all agree with the corporate heads or the political
agenda (regardless which party has control currently).
But from what I see you all (in regular usage of the term) stand for it.
It seems to me that the revolution was fought and won. Afterward, the
infiltration of what was fought against merged back into the system.
We now have corporate America and are losing more freedoms to the dollar
as days increment.
The link mentioned to start this thread is just a minor example.
