Re, Anymore

Mr Wright and everyone else. Please watch this video and related ones about the "New World Order". Very alarming and seems our government is not by and for the people anymore. But rather by the few financial elitist and unless this changes soon a complete breakdown of our economy ( worse than what has already occurred ) is imminent.

RE: Any more??

Not that this is the forum for this discussion, but I can't let people believe that the current economic condition is solely the cause of the Bush Administration. That’s what ill-informed uneducated people say. It is a combination of many things, Bush Admin not excluded. Consumers’ poor money management, i.e. buying more than they can afford, has a lot to do with the majority of the turmoil today. They just push the blame on others because it’s always easier to put the blame on others rather than accept the fact that they made the mistakes that did the most impact on their life not the second or third parties’ actions.

Real jobs.......this country sucks since the cheney/rove/haliburton/the war mongers and the ever smart Texas dude who was good at reading teleprompters our super duper nuclear ex pres and otherwise known as those previously mentioned...puppet of the puppet master...george w bush....destroyed the American landscape.
