LOL! That's too rich. No offense, but that you would make such a
blanket statement leads me to believe you ignorant of what
investment bankers do in the
economy and to suspect you have drunk of the "progressive"
Kool-Aide. Neither here nor there in a gardening forum, though, eh?

Needling a little but well able to be passed over.


If I wanted a drunken fool, you'd be my pick.


Taking as much offence as possible and returning more. What is the
point in
making it personal? Why must somebody who disagrees with you be a
bad
person?

I love dialogue. We all get trapped between our ears, and need a fresh

view in order to have more grist for the mills of our minds to work
on.
Presently, in the U.S. of A., we have, essentially, angry mobs running

around blaming the huge deficits on Obama, and calling for the return
of
the Republicans that got us into this hole to begin with. Now, don't
misunderstand me, Obama is a jerk. He thinks that the progressives
have
nowhere else to go, and that he can continue on as a new and improved
George Bush. However, if he was the man that was elected, he would
have
had investigations into the Bush Administration. He would have stopped

the torture, and he would have brought our soldiers home, but he
hasn't.
He doesn't talk about coming home (Now we talk of war in Indonesia,
Somalia, and Venezuela). He talks about being out of Iraq, where we
still have 50,000 troops, god knows how many mercenaries, an embassy
that is large as 80 football fields (427,829 sq. m.), and a State
Department staff armed with Black Hawk helicopters, drones, M1 Abrams
tanks, and some 5,000 mercenaries. Would you like to "super size" your

visa?
However, as I have just said, we are where we are because of
Republican
lying, and Democratic acquiescence.
We have 2 choices in this country, the smiling fascists (Democrats),
or
the full-tilt crazies (Republicans). Where I can, I'll vote third
party,
but the Republican party is alway a clear and present danger. Here in
California, the "Better Business" people have thrown their lot behind
the Republicans. Needless to say, the better it is for business, the
worse it is for consumers.
We need to shut down the War Department and their suppliers. Stop
subsidizing fossil fuel extraction, and nail Wall Street investment
bankers to the wall by their balls. Merrill Lynch was given $10
billion
by American tax-payers to buy back junk stock that they had created,
and
they paid themselves $3.6 billion in bonuses!!
Can you see where the anger comes from, when to complain is to be
accused of having "drunk to much progressive Kool-Aid"? That is an
invective, not an argument. This stupidity has to stop, and that is
why
it is personal.
I have hung way out on a limb here. If someone wants to make a fool of

me, all they have to do is chop it off. In the mean time, I'm not
going
to make the mob hysteria thing easy, if I can help it. People need to
think, and not just go into a knee jerk reaction, if someone is a
Muslim, or a Mexican.
We just had a taxi driver slashed in New York with a knife. His
offense?
He was a Muslim.

Otherwise, you are quite right, and the criticism is noted.

Kill any more honey bees lately, "Bonehead"?

I mean, this guy want to be the King of Stupid.

Grrrrr
The madness will end, when the currencies of the world collapse. Then
almost everyone will be poor. A new kind of government will be created.
Perhaps a new world government? Perhaps a new world currency without a
world government? The chaos may last a long time between then and now.

First there were local tribes, then city states, then nations, then ....
The next step is a one world government. The next step in evolution of
our planet. Each time during these long transitions is a harsh period of
wars and turmoil.

Those that grow and preserve their own food will do better than those
who do not. Those living in the country will do better than those living
in the city.
