Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
So? Yeah, I pretty much agree with that article. Our present prime minister is nothing but a lapdog for the American neocon business agenda, and yes, he is pursuing an imperial agenda...in concert with the USA and the UK.

What of it? Where did you get the idea that I was defending my government and only attacking yours? Yours happens to be the much bigger problem for the world, that's all. My government is playing a bit part in the imperial order. Yours is in the starring role.

The reason we have these problems, Sawzaw, is that our governments are not serving the people. They are serving huge business and banking interests. The political parties are funded BY those huge business and banking interests, and that's why little changes no matter who we elect.

There is NOTHING we can do about it at the ballot box, Sawzaw. Do you get that? They play this party game all the time to make us think there's a choice, but it's just a surface game. The details change. The rhetoric changes. The faces change. The basic policy rolls on.
