I don't know despot...agitatable seems like a perfectly good word to me. I say to heck with linux and firefox. As for the news...they have no credibility in my opinion.

#22508 RE: Relentless Despot #22506

I was just thinking today as I read some articles in the financial press that quote "experts" from places like Lehman, JP Morgan, why would I pay attention to anything you guys say?? why would anyone and why is the press still going to you for a take on what is happening out there? More importantly I thought I had missed "Jane and the Dragon" but I didn't, my Saturday morning is complete.

Agree on all counts....

it's all whatever they are tryin ta sell (aheem...force down our throats) us at any given second. Reminds me of the Jackson Browne tune "Lives in the Balance"

I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that youve seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

And theres a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally cant take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

Theres a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we cant even say the names

They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But theyre never the ones to fight or to die

And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire


So the real challenge is.....decide where & how they wanna spin 'n manipulate us & then react accordingly...so it's safe ta say that if we're being told the truth about something...it wasn't really an important topic ta begin with...lol

tell ya what....4x much more so than equities has really taught me & opened up my eyes to how the govts collectively control their masses....ie keep them as suppressed as possible at all times.

Thx for checkin in Elder...nice ta see ya surface here again....& all the other old school usual suspects...Relentless, Jester, et al....try not ta be strangers....really enjoy this sorta 'coffee talk' ;)~

Cheers!!
