Hawk, unless they vote for the wrong people of course. Oh?? How's that Maurice?? Has the US recently invaded a truly democratic country? We might have sanctions against them, but I don't recall having invaded one... The USA is like an enormous financial black hole, sucking vast amounts of stuff inside the event horizon. It's not like we're forcing people to invest here. Let them invest in their own economies if they want.. And always remember something MW.. The US CREATED the UN, not the rest of the world. They just signed on and agree to adher to the UN charter and genuinely seek to resolve conflicts peacefully through the UN. It was NOT created for nations like France and Russia to cynically use it to protect their economic interests with a brutal dictator. Hawk

The USA citizens vote what to do with the money I'm taxed [via QUALCOMM]. They can vote, but I can't. They can stick me in Guantanamo Bay or otherwise treat me as an alien with very, very limited rights. The American Declaration of Independence dealt with the sort of issues which are arising now and which will grow. That's assuming the USA does what I hope it will do, which is continue to succeed, especially in the QUALCOMM realm. "No taxation without representation". How does that sound? I might use it as my rallying slogan for freedom for We the Sheeple who are UnAmerican. "Human rights for UnAmericans". There's another good one. Maurice, Glad to see your retraining is showing results so quickly. Already you have learned to vote with your pocketbook and....stock portfolio. And you have quickly learned to hide it well in phrases like "Human Rights" and "No taxation without representation". Expect to be offered a terrific job soon by the Democratic National Committee. That will speed you on your way to the next big step...getting a green card. uw
