? Is that the complete address because the word link did not replace the address? I could not just click on it. Off to work......

I love America because it is a country based on the opinion that people can have different opinions and religions and still be productive worthwhile members of society.

Sullo, John Perkins,(born 1945) has written 4 books on spiritualism before his Memoirs," Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" in 2004. He was in the Peace Corps 1968-71, he had a Draft Deferment:Vietnam(Source:NNDB)

I suggest you the review "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" at Wikipedia book review <link> I suggest you read wikipedia's bio article to determine his creditability. <link> He has written a new book entitled, "The Secret History of the American Empire".

I know Barbara loves this guy because he is frequently interviewed by DEMOCRACY NOW and TRUTHOUT which are her "only sources" of information and he promotes her anti-America agenda.

We live in an age of knowledge and communication. We talk of empire. If we want the world to bow to us they should know what to expect. I just read that some judges decided the people in Guantanimo are non persons??? anyway something like that. Pakistan just said if we go after al quida in their country they will not be happy and yesterday I heard that Chavez says that a certain group that we call terrorist are in reality a leftist leaning army. Something like that. If we are going to torture, hold people without recourse to a lawyer, call leftist groups that are only trying to defend their people from out capitalistic crookery terrorist the world should know. Honesty. enough white wash propaganda. We are all human beings and have god given rights. What have we done to Iraq because we wanted to control the oil, all in the name of "Democracy". Crazy ; we want people who are subjugated ? work for $.15 an hour so our businesses can get more profits. Enough already....

Hey BigD,

Good to see you again.

The poor are always getting fucked over by the rich. Always have, always will. Doesn't matter what culture or historical era.

That said "Let's put the fear of God in them". Look at them with disgust;well at least look them in the eye.. During slavery times I am sure the slave owners were nervous. Many slave owners were very nice to their slaves just because they realized that being good is better than being bad. I am not saying all and in the end people were sold and families were broken up.
