I always love it when you get wound up. :O) I watched the Easy Rider movie last night to see what I missed when i Saw it at the movies around 1970. I knew there was a message about freedom versus big business and wanted to treasure the bits of wisdom that Jack Nicholson and Fonda shared around the campfire about the government sheep who hated bikers because they represented real freedom. They wheeled happily down the highway, waving at the horses and cows while scenes of Exxon and Mobile signs whizzed by. Back then there was another useless war like now but I always had plenty and remember better times for my family back then. I was a vet but missed the really bad crap because I was discharged in 68. No call ups but I bet they would have had my butt today since I was in the inactive reserve. I'm like you, buddy. The longer I live the more I see the insidious ways of the government lawyers to relieve me of the money in my billfold. What a damn racket they have, like you say to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. I just hope this whole think just doesn't fold up on some of us and we are able to make it with a way to keep off the streets. It scares the hell out of me sometimes. When I was born gas was .18, stamps $.03 cents and a new car was less than $1500. My money gets bigger wings on it every day. Theres nothing to invest in unless you're a gambler. I have enough compulsions without going that way. What's scary to me is I just am flat out of answers. James

> More debt. More lies. W going from strength to strength. Neocons running the whole show. Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. US printing like there's no tomorrow. Experts raving about the US debt heralding the end of the world. That's how Uncle Sam earns a living but what happens when he can't? atimes.com >>What remains the great unknown and perhaps still unknowable is how a more wounded, Ponzi-less Uncle Sam would react with more "Patriotic" acts at home and abroad with the weapons - including the now almost ready "small" nukes - he would still have, even if his foreign victims no longer paid for new ones. So, to compensate for less bread and civil rights at home, an even more patriotic, nay chauvinist, circus at the cost of others abroad is the real danger of the current policies to "defend freedom and civilization". <<
