@mirza the idea of a Federal Bank is very helpful to the economy. But it should be owned by We the People and it is not. Its interests are not at all clear, except that they are often not those of We the People.
@Charlie I’m sufficiently convinced that the twin towers came down due to damage from the planes and subsequent fires. They were a peculiar architecture that is vulnerable to exactly what happened. Building seven on the other hand I have never seen/heard a good explanation for that except that the insurance payout for a collapsed building would be greater than for a fire-gutted one.
Oh! The media – astounding that a question in General has gotten so far afield – I think Jon Stewart nailed in on the head in that recent interview, the mainstream media, news in particular shows signs of being motivated by sensationalism and laziness to cover things the way they do.
@plethora You’re right, if the media had been doing their job Obama would not have been elected. Dennis Kucinich would be president. By huge margins people polled wanted the things that have always been in his agenda.
