OK..
Obviouly both of you are "onboard".
It's all about money, NOT about people.
Thanks to Bush, (no.. really !!! )
It is about the letter of the Law too.. ( Not the spirit..)
And "intellectual" property, too. ( Not jobs .. )
And defending the US Constitution..
But it IGNORES, "We the People".
It's about empowering "paper"..
And disenfranchising people..
It's about fascism, and slavery for all..
And the New World Order...
