The "I" word and effects on equity markets

Quote from ShoeshineBoy:

the Patriot Act is supposed to be used only on "suspected terrorists" and not to be used on "normal citizens".

I've heard scarcely a word in either conservative or liberal forums. This complacency will accelerate The Patriot Act's abuse (kind of like RICO).

Note the push for "secret" tribunals and the abrogation of the right of competent legal defense...

There are many that have been shouting about the 'patriot' act since its passing -- the same that are conveniently labeled as 'extremist' or marginalized for not being mainstream (read: multinational corporate-controlled).
 
“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.”

So what? Is the government and those that govern presented with opportunity to use power to corrupt? Is this different elsewhere?

Happens all the time, and all over. At least America has countermeasures. (not to mention the ability to prosecute those who are corrupt. No matter how high up in government they may be).

Internet polls are invalid, and those who use them to support their opinions are using invalid and weak arguments in the process.

I categorize them as "yellow internet journalists" practicing "yellow internet journalism."

Just more weak propaganda from a weak repetitive mind.
 
The Biggest Threat To Peace

Which country really poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003?

TIME asks for readers' views

Who really poses the greatest danger to world peace? Iraq and North Korea are certainly high on President Bush's list though Iraq is still working hard to deny him a reason to attack. A 12,000-page report on its nuclear, chemical and biological programs has been given to the United Nations but Bush and his dependable friend Tony Blair say they have "solid evidence" that Saddam is lying and have called for weapons inspection teams to step up their work.

Meanwhile, as the fuel rods go in and UN inspectors go away, the specter of a nuclear-armed North Korea is keeping the reclusive regime on everybody's radar. Washington and Pyongyang are talking tough but is the biggest danger to peace closer to home? European antagonism towards Bush's robust stance is now being mirrored in the U.S., with even those he might normally consider his allies now urging caution.

So TIME asks you: which country poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003?

North Korea

Iraq

The United States

Greg Palast: Beat the Press

For those of us who've long suspected that our democracy is up for sale to the highest bidder, award-winning investigative journalist Greg Palast has uncovered disturbing evidence confirming as much. Palast's exposés of the theft of the 2000 election, the financial ties between the Bush and the Bin Laden families, and how these connections kept the FBI from perhaps preventing the horrific events of 9/11 have thrown fear into the hearts of media pundits. There has been a near-complete news blackout of the explosive findings documented in Palast's book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. First released in England, where he reports for the

I want my country back and what it used to stand for!!!:mad:
 
The Time magazine poll isn't worth a crumpet as one can vote as many times as one chooses.

So how truthful a representation are the poll results of the voting by the majority of those who voted just the once ?

Is Time magazine so poor in resources that they couldn't have made multiple voting at least a bit more difficult to achieve ?

I am however not at all surprised to see asomeone like Wild hopping onto the bandwagon drawing attention to this poll as he has shown his true anti USA colours before in other posts.

BTW, who are the people behind Time magazine ? This article is more than just filler. It is a serious attempt to undermine the government's actions to deal with the so-called Islamic violence.
