“Narcodollars are too entrenched in the global economy to cut off the flow that suddenly. The last time the opium crop was burned economic chaos ensued or it was all just coincidence. Nothing would surprise me anymore.”

“Exactly; in 2001 the Taliban had almost completely eradicated the opium crop and wall street had lost a huge amount of low interest money to launder into the overall system. It IS a drug war...just not the kind you might think. Michael Ruppert's book Crossing The Rubicon is an excellent read if you want to understand why we are in Afghanistan.”

“Many good attorneys had to take the bar more than once. Keep plugging away and you'll make it. Best wishes.”

“Thank you, I appreciate your words of encouragement. I've taken it three times. Good news, i get better each time. Bad news, I cannot afford the cost of the bar review course which can range from $1200 to upwards of $4000. I had hoped to have a job so I could save to pay for the course. Now, my family and I are just trying to make ends meet and make sure we're able to pay the mortgage.
Still, I appreciate your encouragement.”

“The factories in my hometown of Lima Ohio started leaving and/or shutting down as early as 1975. When I graduated HS in 73 most of my friends had jobs that paid between 9 and 12 dollars an hour (big money in 73) and a lot went to work in the same factories as their dads and uncles etc. We had a Ford plant, GM, Chrysler, Fruehauf Axle plant, a GE Turbine plant, a Clarke equipment forklift plant. Huffy had a bicycle plant nearby and more. Some of the machinist jobs were skilled labor and required more than assembly line work. Most familys had a dad that worked and a mom that raised kids and kept the home running and life was pretty good. All gone now and it started in 75 or so for a lot of the midwest. I guess my rambling point is that other than the statistics there is nothing new about this article for millions of people.”

“The real intelligent opposition is drowned out by the extremists shouting "death panels and socialism and free speech is gone" etc. etc. My only fear is the extremists on both sides.”

Artemis34 replied on Nov 20, 2009 at 11:52:09

“Saying there "extremists on both sides" is like comparing the conservative blue whale of extremism to the liberal amoeba of extremism. Not the same at all.”

“48% of Americans also believe in ghosts according to a CBS poll. Numbers mean nothing, especially on cable.”

smpj replied on Nov 20, 2009 at 11:16:21

“Have ghosts been proven to not exist? No harm in believing they either might or do. Arrogant condescending comments about the supposed lack of intellegence and judgment of tens of millions of Americans is foolish, unwise, and meaningless if your statement about the value of numbers like these is true.”

“he's the messiah who will save us from the GOP!”

StillIRise replied on Sep 27, 2009 at 23:02:41

“There're two groups of people who seem to believe this:

The Republicans who're so quick to criticize him and suggest that he's incompetent because he hasn't cured all of the ills of the world in 8 months, including the ones that it took Bush 8 years to create.

The very young and/or very impatient far left who thought that Obama not only had a magic wand, but that he would use it to do everything that they wanted him to do, when they wanted it, how they wanted it, with whom they wanted it, etc.”
