Ironic, perhaps. But, to me, not particularly surprising. In fact I can't imagine a collusion between any branch of the U.S. government and another country, party, or group that would surprise me in the least. and of Capitalism: > Guess I just see it as the lesser of the evils.

And I often perceive the Capitalist system as one that pretends to be so moral and fair but takes absolute - if indirect - advantage of child/slave labor in other countries, just to name one example. > One system demands that everyone think the same and defer to a state- > run, one party ideaology. IMO, the party now in power in the United States may not (yet) be able to demand, but it would sure as hell prefer that we defer to its "wisdom" ... and shall we discuss how they continue to attempt to blur the line between church and state? (Has anyone noticed the recent new commercial from NARAL (http://www.naral.org/cfa/index.html)? There is a reason for this.) > The other system offers more opportunity for everyone, regardless of > their beliefs or idealogy, to contribute and participate. More opportunity ... yes, I guess I would agree. Otoh, others might not. (See the pending cases against the University of Michigan's affirmative action policies, or visit http://www.bamn.com) Lori
