'organized crime' as well. Although I rather think these corporate entities represent another for of very organized crime.

down their liquid gold price.

5. It's just a drop in the bucket compared to what bushco must be

spending to alter the reality in media.

6. Yes it was disgusting. One CEO was very nasty when questioned

about the profits.
The repugs are right. I am beginning to hate America.
