    Greg Palast spoke about vulture capitalism, bit I’m sure that has nothing to do with anything. Perhaps insult rather than taking a few moments to reflect or ask may indicate more about ourselves than the other. Perhaps we’d do well to temper ourselves toward reflection a bit more.

    Anyway, you may or not disagree and may or not do a little digging, I have no control over you, nor do I wish to have; I’ve all I can do (and sometimes more) to manage my own disposition, and allotted time and resources. I wish you the best of days as I continue about mine.

            We create our enemies and act surprised when things happen, and buy the official story wholesale, despite watching it play out before our eyes, then pretend we’re the victim. Individually and collectively, "left (now slightly right of center right)” and (very far) right, then play victim. I’ve been guilty, even recently.

            Eta: something about who we are allowed to criticize.

              Sure, except in this case we spent 20 years trying to make Russia a friend after the cold war.

                It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.
