Heck, if we hadn't been messing things up for decades we wouldn't have half the intl problems we're facing now. As for Saddam, that's just a smoke screen if ever there was one, and we're gonna be walking down that crazy path all alone. Recession, here we come.

This ridiculous propaganda about there being a factual necessity to take out Saddam with unilateral US military action has got to be the biggest piece of misguided propaganda this country has seen in a long time. Apart from Bushs favorite puppy Blair no other state in the world is falling for...

""The usual hedge fund contract at least protects you from getting whipsawed by a manager who makes money one year, loses it the next and makes it back the third year. The "high-water mark" provision works this way: If the manager gets an incentive fee for taking the fund up X%, he doesn't get...

I thought so earlier already: you live in Disneyland, right?

It's that freedom thing I'm very worried about at the moment, the ignominiously named "Patriot Act" and it's handing out of powers unchecked by judicial review is not what we are about, but is an inevitability if nobody stands up and fights. Government will expand it's portfolio if left...

Our civil liberties, - ie freedom of speech, assembly and privacy; equality before the law; due process; and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures -, are the single most important differentiating point between us and totalitarian regimes we professed to be fighting for, amongst others...
