Hi Ray,

Nice piece by Scheer and I agree with his point about deregulation being a liscence to steal. This point:

isn't it time to ask whether the war on terrorism isn't being milked as a convenient distraction?

I think it's going overboard to call the threat of further terrorist acts on the US a distraction, but I agree that its use as "blinders" on the media is very apparent. Very apparent. And that's wrong.

About Sullivan: I'm interested in his status as an HIV-positive out gay man who is also politically conservative. It strikes me as a tough path to walk, you know what I mean?

Thunderstorms here. I need to unplug my computer. Ciao.
