I don't need any type of evidence Imm.
I have eyes and ears.
I look at reality as it is.
Publius, and his dictionary, and Wiki's explanation is simply fantasy. It is
NOT real. It's a belief in an illusion. Quiet simply Imm. that is NOT what
is happening, that is not what today's Capitalism and Economics is.
I am all for free enterprise, in a free market, with personal responsibilty.
Fact is, as soon as someone starts a 'free enterprise' they run up against
the controlled and manipulated capitalist system that runs the world.
Those with no ethics, a lack of humanity, and no personal feelings of
self-responsibity simply love the current system which is intent on crushing
individuality and personal freedom.
It's not hard to see when one cares to look properly.
The USSR or the USA - no difference at all in reality - except the rhetoric
just sounds different.
Same bone, different horse.
