Little Hawk: I very rearly disagree with you if ever BUT it don't take a lot of "courage" to be on the right in this country since all ya gotta do is repeat the bumper sticker positions taht have been fed ya' by Boss Hog and the Gang. Heck, they own *everything* and now I beginning to think that they own a lot of folks *thinking*.

Okay, Boss Hog owns the mean os production, he owns the media, he owns most of the money and he lends it to folks to buy the junk that his PR folk convince his workers they need and consequently his workers are too busy trying to pay back the company store that they're working longer and harder than anytime in last 60 years and this doesn't provide a lot of time for *actual thought*. Hmmmmm? Bad combination... and worse news for progressives. The deck is now firmly stacked against progressives.

Now, just for good measure against thinking Boss Hogs new educational push is more toward rote memory than thinking with test passing the goal of educators. Hmmmmmmm, Part B.

And just another thought. Just in case the workin' man tries to make a break for freedom, Boss Hog's credit card companies have gotten their boy to push thru legislation that prevents the potential escapee from escaping the monster that got him jammed in the first place. At least in boxing, the ref calls off the bou7t when one fighter is about to get his butt killed. Hmmmmmmm, Part C.

Now we look at Boss Hogs health care system and insurance companies. All stacked against the working man but like I said, he's too busy working his brains out trying to keep up with the credit cards and the *trappings* of *well being* (SUVS, big houses, etc.) And if you get sick, forget it, Boss Hog gonna cancell your butt and you'll die poor.

So, "courage" to support the company line and goosesteppin' behind Boss Hogs and his PR folks. Nah...

I knew the day would come when I would find something that I didn't agree with ya , LH, but I love ya', brother and this is more like splittin' hairs.
