You're either for greed and exploitation of humanity or you're against it. |

There's a line in the sand we can draw.
Is that too either/or, black/white, absolutism for us?

,...polished propaganda that exceeded Goebbel's dreams.
A mastery of emotional manipulation over the American people.
The RW managed to do it by perfecting the art of exploiting others which, by all ethical and philosophical and theological determinations is the most evil act a human being could exact.

It's the elite, period. Political ideology can easily fall by the wayside when seeking wealth, power, and control.

7. You sure are good at putting words in people's mouths. |
|
Politicians, such as Bush, make black-and-white statements. We, real people, know better.
I would answer your questions if they had anything to do with what I said.
