Hi Tech; OT RE >> I have felt all along that we did this to ourselves in some way << :-) Very true, and it's not just with the oil thingy the poor shoot themselves in the foot in an amazing variety of ways at an astonishing rate. ------- One of my Favorite sayings is The rich get richer , the poor poorer and the poor help to arrange it ------ Big business in the so called free world controls more propaganda than any 10 Governments can hope to muster. Propaganda called by any other name is still Propaganda, it just seems to most to be respectable if it's Big enough and not the Government type. The effect is we have accepted a de facto type back room Hegmonic controlled Government. You either have to belong to some type of Mafia ( fraternity) or try to survive as a Maverick. Jim PS The Frat people won't say it openly but they consider all maveriks "fair meat"..most fights and wars are because one Frat stole anothers "Fair Meat" And as to wars for the most part they've always been a rich mans war "but a poor mans fight" and in the name of liberity and freedom. ( so no matter what side you might find your self on your always seem to be fighting for liberity and freedom. ) What kind of Freedom & Liberity do I see us having, basicly it's the freedom to BUY a Licence ( if you can afford it ) that then gives you the Liberity to Steal from maveriks, however if you steal & don't have a Licence and get caught you go to jail. I never could afford to get a very powerfull stealing licence but at least I was smart enough to save up enough to get a small one. :-) Jim
