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
