POLLS INDICATE HUGE LEAP IN DISAPPOVAL RATE FOR SHRUB ACF, Re: Unfortunately, the facts don't jive, as George W.'s approval ratings remain stubbornly near all-time highs for any sitting President. Son, you gotta get out more often. If you did you'd find that Dumbya's disapproval ratings are going through the roof. People may say that "overall" Bush is OK, they certainly don't like the way he's handling the economy, or his creepy crook crony Kenny Boy. The Teflon CEO. And did I mention Harken or Halliburton. Americans are starting to catch on that hiring the Thief-In-Chief and his sidekick Oil Slick Dick isn't hardly enough diversity of opinion. Re: As a self-professed history student, you should know that the criminal fallout post-1929 was far worse than at present, with the President of the NYSE going to jail along with many other corporate leaders of the time. Actually, very few corporate thiefs went to jail, other than Richard Whitney, who was imprisoned more for bilking his elite fellow travelers than the general public. Those who scammed the public, like electricity trust owner Sam Insull, (the Ken Lay of his day) walked away scot-free after insipid and purposefully ineffective efforts by prosecutors. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Your worker's paradise quip is beneath you, AC. So shallow, so sallow. As a history buff-wannabee you might want to review the history of the CIA in its early days. It seems that the bulk of their budget was spent in the late 1940s on Italian operations. Where the CIA did everything in its power to suppress the worker-owned capitalism that had sprung up. What the CIA preferred was to reinstate a fascist system of command-and-control with industry closely held by a small elite who could count on bribed politicians to maintain their unfair advantages. Sounds a lot like what George Bush is trying to perpetrate today in the U.S. doesn't it?
