    Getting money is well known fact, down in the dirty south to be exact.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The cartoons and music are entertaining, stick with it a while.

    Very good. Worth the time.
    Very good point raised that why do governments issue bonds rather than just new money?

    Reall good. Everyone should watch it. Seriously.
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    It's very similar to the Money Lenders video we had some time ago, except shorter and IMO it explains it's point a bit better.
    My resume: told you so, eh, I mean I said before that I dislike the stock market and stuff didn't I? We also partly learned that at school.

    As for the issue, nothing a war and lots of violence couldn't solve, as always.

    What a refreshing point of view, cant we just do "protection money" instead? Oh wait, we have been its called the U.N.
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.
