Art,
   From what I just read, you're singing to the choir! Where I may, (and possibly not,) differ with you, is, that in your list of of perpetrators, who I Readily agree(!), You mentioned Reagan, and the current list of the obvious, ok?...However, if you are going all that way back, would you include Clinton,and Poppa Bush? There is a reason for asking. I am not at all at odds with you on the other...and, if it went that far back, it would have to do with another 'undercurrent' which seems to be at work, ALL the way through, at least those. Wouldn't you agree?..And, if so, wouldn't it be logical to assume', 'presume', or even wonder, that this undercurrent is being funded, and promoted, but HIDES behind the masks, of the politicians, we have come all to familiar with? Though many of them are financially tied, to the companies, and organizations, or even 'special interest' groups; that are the reason for the current dilemma?? Agreeing either for, or con, their policies, WHICH ARE A MERE DISTRACTION, from what path they have led us through, consistently, through this time???? This path was laid out a lot longer ago, than is being 'reported'. All one needs is a good memory, to see that! (reference archives work well, too..if needed). Okay, now I am completely NOT RUNNING A CONTENTION, with you on this. But, it certainly would be cool to discuss, without the barbs(unless you like them,too?). Just in case you do............(Hannity..jeez)......I know you stink on the topic, Fart Theme..wink!
