"As for your hatred for corporations"

I don't hate corporations, but I don't invest in war profiteers, even though it would be very profitable. There are corporations that do good work that are also very profitable.

I see a danger in the marriage of corporations and government, AKA fascism, or as Mussolini used to like to call it, corporatism. It's taken the strongest hold ever with the chimpistration. But corporations provide jobs, wealth and prosperity to many, and aren't evil in themselves. Citizens just need to rise up and force a decoupling of government and corporations.

We just have differing views. You think Iraq was justified and a noble cause. I think it is a misguided blunder propelled by many factors and people, none of which are given as the reason, that will do more harm than good to America. I don't see America's mission in the world as spreading democracy through the barrel of a gun, and never will. Perhaps you do.
