So for a capitalist/aspirationalist you certainly have some inconsistent views overall. Great theorypet shop boy wrote:

Once in a while you need to stop reading Michael Moore and read between the lines of the conspiracy theorists, or people might think you're David Icke.
From the half or dozen or so replies of yours I've seen you haven't presented any new opinion or idea that hasn't already been discussed here. Now I don't expect you to read every single post but at least engage with the matters in hand. There's a sense of hysteria in your text mixed in with the Daily Mail's Melanie Phillips view on Climate Change. Yet again, very common and conventional conspiracies. I'm sure there's more than a grain of truth in the old ideas of 'war is peace', 'fear is power' mantras but they go against this 'think of yourself' view which in my opinion is what the US and it's citizens pride themselves on and built their whole democracy on and yet you're a bit upset and surprised when they act on this. Thinking of yourself is precisely the problem.
Until we actually discover that Elvis was behind Diana's assassination or it was Noddy who was responsible for the twin towers collapsing and corpsing thousands of folks, we should at least look seriously on what we have to go on, and from this perch of mine on Ben Nevis, I would say not a lot.
Re. Colonel Ridge- much of the time he misunderstands what I say and thinks I'm just attacking the US for its own sake when in fact the US seems to be doing a good job of bringing itself down. All I say to him, it's that it's OK to feel screwed by your own illegally elected leaders once in a while. News just in...J Edgar Hoover has been dead for many years.
As for being uncivilised, well, maybe I am to some extent as is society in general from the output in the Media, to the disturbing rise in consumerism, aspirationalism and the quest for growing self-obsession and one upmanship. I think we're all pretty guilt of this and its pointless pretending otherwise.
