And what's this? Propaganda and spin?

Its a wisp of straw floating on the ocean of UK debt.

I think there is a typo in the Davos speech release as well.

"escape velocity" = "terminal velocity"

/edit. Interesting Titanic note. This artist who was a witness and survivore made this series of sketches. In one of the sketches he has both the forward and aft sections showind in the water as if the liner had already broken in two.

His view has always been discounted, even today after we have the video data showing both sections on the ocean floor at some dustance apart.

Your grandaddy was a communist?

If he was jewish as well, I could imagine that would have made him stand out amongst his peers and be unpopular with some of the captains of industry at the time.

I was fed propaganda by nuns and had to read George Orwell at high school. Even the examinations in English Literature checked on how well you knew your Orwell. I didnt pass the first time and had to study things like Orwell a lot to scrape a passing grade.

As brain washing and propaganda goes, I think I got a good deal, but I guess I would think that anyway -g-

It seems to have prepared me well for our present time... Just look at these little gems...

Im not really the literary type, but some one needs to write the sequel to "1984" and "Animal Farm".

I'll have a bash at the title: "2031 The Agribusiness Modification".

It will be a real horror story and a warning for future generations (if there are any).
