4. pray

Thats what I do now. Currently I have three out of four, with my Catholic Church not entirely in bed with the rest. And I simply disagree with the church when situation suggests. I think divorce should be legal, but I think that it is an awful institution.

18. Read "The Origins of the Overclass" essay online

by Steve Kangas (the guy who turned up dead in Scaife's bathroom).

There's a very interesting section on the close relationship between the Catholic Knights of Malta and the CIA.

I have an attachment to the Catholic Church, too..This is not a gross indictment, but it is interesting.

6. Well, if they team up to create a nudist utopia, it's ok with me.

But it never seems to go that way. Normally results in a militaristic dictatorship. Hopefully, revolution soon to follow.

[Binklyjay]

8. It's worse than that

I think corporations need to be added into that unholy mix.

[DeepModem Mom]

9. You're right -- I think Bush's corporate donors...

pose a greater danger to our system as we've known it than the professional military. It's the Bush Chickenhawks that are in charge at the Pentagon, not the career soldiers.

10. The military isnt entirely in bed yet.

I think the younger officers are part of this Christo-Fascist thing and are heavily politicized to the right.

The old generals that we see on TV are not quite there, yet.
