I trust you heard that the fellow who wrote a book critical of Karl Rove was then put on the "no fly" list.  Can't fly and promote sales of his book.  I keep thinking of the Chiles jingle, "I want my freedom back, freedom back," ...when GWB says other people envy us our freedom, they're thinking of the freedom we used to have, pre-Bush, IMO.

  One more thing about this whole GMO/Terminator/Corporate Control  
  reality that really gets my undies in a bunch...The GMO companies  
  fight every local and state labeling law that is proposed by THE  
  PEOPLE via ballot measures, because most politicians are in the back  
  pocket of the GMO companies and would never go against the wallet  
  that feeds them.

  In Mendocino county, CA. voters passed overwhelmingly ballot measures  
  that not only ban growing GMOs in their county but a strict labeling  
  law on products grown elsewhere but sold in the county. Now the GMO  
  companies are lobbying in the state legislature to prohibit counties  
  from doing just that. Commanding us to bow down before the almighty  
  dollar. The reality is if a strict labeling law was put into effect  
  nationally, GMOs would die a quick death because polls show a large  
  majority of people don't want GMOs in their bodies. So much for the  
  "free marketplace."

  It is so obvious to most reasonable people that our once great  
  country has been bought out lock, stock and barrel by the  
  corporations whose only goal is to make the most money anyway they  
  can--pollution, cancer or environmental consequences be damned. Then  
  they have loyal, deluded and brain washed supporters on these email  
  lists spewing their corporate propaganda line supporting their vile  
  corporate activities.

  I heard a good twist on the old saying, "America -- love it or leave  
  it." It is "America -- love it or give it back." The neo-con  
  corporatists have stolen our country--I wish and only dream that  
  someday they would give it back.
