Terry,
I guess I was responding to a thread that had quoted you and though you were the sender. My mistake. However, my response still stands it just needs to point to those cheer leaders who blindly think capitalism is this great perfect system that doesn't take advantage of the government and the people on a daily basis. Everyday we see yet another story of tainted food, tainted medicines, fracking, illegal hazardous waste disposal, bad financial deals, crooked politicos etc. bought and brought on by big business. Big business has no morals. They can't even understand their lack of morals. It is just business as usual. And the ridiculous cheer leaders who write on this and many other forums who want to give them total free reign just astounds me. I don't trust the motives of half the people I worked with/for and I damn sure would not give the guy in the next office from me any authority over my life.Yet these CLs are the people they would have in charge.
Just what does big business/politics have to do before the cheerleaders realize they are being screwed by the very businesses they want to give total freedom to. Maybe when their grandchildren are sitting on a burned out cinder if a planet they might get a clue.
I am just glad this country had founding forefathers that knew we should never trust our leaders completely and tried to keep some controls on them. That is why we have the second amendment we do, right after free speech. Just wished they had limited the power of big business money in politics too. Then maybe we wouldn't need our current second. But I will stand by both of them until this country gets some morals.
