Paranoid crap? Check the sources. Joseph Stiglitz was the Chief Economist of the IMF World Bank. He won the NOBEL PRIZE FOR ECONOMICS. This is what HE says is going on in the world. I'm not paranoid about it. I accept it (reluctantly) and try to bring about change by making others aware of it.

Spewed all over the forum? I limit it to the BS section and put a thread title of a political nature in the subject line, so you don't have to click on it if you don't want to. And if you should run across one of my posts (or someone else's you don't like), you can always tear your eyes away, you know.

America is like a room in a termite-infested house. Looks fine, but you can poke your finger through the walls. We're still told we have all our freedoms and rights, but try telling that to the folks in the story above...the ones from Eugene, Oregon. Fearful people like you are willing to trade your liberties for security, but when you do that YOU GET HANDCUFFED NAKED AND HAVE A HOOD PUT OVER YOUR HEAD. So if you support suppression of free speech, move to China where they are currently BRANDING their citizens with graphite tattoos to better keep track of them and keep them in line. Sounds like your kind of place, harpy.
