I didnt take it as being labeled a commy, understood you but many out there regard criticizers as commy pinkos
a sorry transition has taken place in the last decade excessive criticism is seen as unpatriotic pointing out systemic problems is seen as destructive
past history is no gaurantee for future fixes, my man
no need for apology, always a good vein for dispute just sit back, reflect on the level of political correctness that has pervaded (nay, infected) our society in the last decade and tell me if deep constructive criticism is invited !!!
no way, Jose Cuervo whistle blowers are still ruined political dissent is seen as partisan and petty even impeachment is seen as petty internal memos are silenced (e.g. Clinton Admin, FBI, Enron, Anderson, Merrill, and of course Nixon)
my personal conclusion has been lately that when the institution or company or nation has problems that are too serious, and when they have lost self-esteem...
criticism of any kind is seen as disloyal and unpatriotic
most recent case in point is so sensitive to the max I understand Arab frustration before Sept11th and WTC attack try to vocalize that !!!
we have systemic problems as a result of 50 years of faulty monetary system, faulty banking system, corporate bourgeois, and corruption at many levels of the financial markets the end result is debts and fraud out the wazzoo crippling debts that affect the economy crippling fraud that affect confidence and trust
dont worry, Brah I get worked up at such labels as COMMY even being tossed out as you can see, I cited three parallels that the Communist Evil is among us in the ESTABLISHMENT
