It's about pensions.


I don't know how they think the current system can be paid for.

We get riots in the street here on a regular basis.

Your media only reports them when it suits them.


You say that like it is a good thing.


That the US media is provincial on an unbelievable scale shocks the world.

Excerpts:

"...Europe had fallen in love.....Many Europeans don't get it.

They're very confused as to how [Americans] could vote for Obama and
then two years later turn around and vote for a completely different
set of policies......"

How many electoral votes do these Europeans contirbute to our election
process, anyhow?


All charismatic feel good talk part of charisma building strategy,
but talk is cheap and visions compltetly ungrounded in physical
reality or understanding.

Africa is full of 'orators' but it is still a **** hole. The murder
rate in sth africa is now over 10 times what it was under Apartheid
and the well equipled 300-500 bed hospitals the Apartheid regime
builts have broken windows and x-ray machines but "Mugabe" sth africa
is still regarded as a sucess? Think of the 25,000 to 30,000 extra
that haved died over each of the last 10-15 years. Nearly 400,000
extra muders.

I noticed when I was there.

I also noyticed that if you're in Texas then what happens in Chicago is
treated as if it's news from somewhere almost off the planet and news
from Europe and Asia is on the lines of 'Hey those kooky/weird/dangerous
people in the funny clothes/haircuts...'

Albert Einstein once said, "Politics is a pendulum whose swings
between anarchy and tyranny are fueled by perpetually rejuvenated
illusions."

"..We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic
system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its
unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being
according to
wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and
we are all determined to destroy this system under all
conditions..."
--Adolf Hitler

(Hitler Speech Quoted by John Toland in his biography, "Adolf
Hitler", published 1976, p. 306
