And as for Capitalism…
Governmement Military Assistance isn’t part of Capitalism. It’s a bit like Insider Trading. It is not okay for our government to have as its foreign policy, a program involving Military conquest or "nation building" in order to further the interests of American private enterprises, whether it helps us or not. If what we are advocating is a world free market, then our companies must compete in that free market along with everyone else. What’s happened here is that the Military of the United States has been used in the service of furthering the oil industry and in the service of preemptively protecting Israel. If that’s what we’re doing, we ought to be told that it’s what we’re doing and vote on it. We weren’t told…
And as for Christmas…
We’re having a really nice holiday here in the Georgia Mountains – daughter is in town, dinner with friends, nice fire in the fireplace. But let’s not talk about Middle Eastern religions this year. They’re not playing well – Zionists, the Christian Right, the Islamic Jihadists. Enough of that stuff for many years to come. Peace…
So that’s what you were writing! The fire IS nice.
