You just called me crazy and refuse to back it up.

What have I said for no reason?

I will give you the full train of thought for any of my utterances. And you most likely will find it very convincing.


(what's the official scoop on will most likely and most likely will, darla, anyone?)

I seriously doubt that your train of thought will convince me. It never has so far.

Mainly your attitude of fix this for me but i don't want to do anything myself.
And the extremes about Joos and the illuminati.
Your paranoi has some basis in fact, but you go to far. the sistuation is basically caused by one common factor...GREED. Not one great big conspiracy.

So any attitude about what national policy should be is a "fix this for me" attitude? At least I want it fixed. You get some sick joy and satisfaction from knowing the truth and watching it happen.


It's a great big conspiracy. It's a quest for a one world order by any means necessary,it's well documented, and it will NOT be utopian, unless you can afford it.
 
Utiopi will never be possible for humans.
And I take no joy in seeing my country fall down.

I do take some joy in seeing those who deny it is happening being proven wrong though (insert spinner , Dano, etc here) .

because utopia isn't possible doesn't mean we should go along with a misguided internationalist fascist agenda, but you know that. I just don't know why you're so schizophrenic about it. I know it's hard to not fit in with the rest of the idiots, but you're on the path less travelled and you should be proud of that.
 
Utopia will always be sought after by most. It the a big root cause of religion, that combined with the fear of death and wanting someone else to make decisions for us.
 
I believe people can be informed, however, that what is being offered as utopia at this moment is just a more complete form of oligarchy and totalitarianism, and even greater cultural intolerance.
 
Why Hugo Chavez Won a Landslide Victory
by Medea Benjamin
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0817-01.htm

I knew Chavez would win the referendum when I met Olivia Delfino in a poor Caracas barrio that our international election delegation visited. Olivia came running out of her tiny house and grabbed my arm. “Tell the people of your country that we love Hugo Chavez,” she insisted. She went on to tell me how her life had changed since he came to power. After living in the barrio for 40 years, she now had a formal title to her home and a bank loan to fix the roof so it wouldn’t leak. Thanks to the Cuban dentists and a program called “Rescatando la sonrisa”—recovering the smile—for the first time in her life she was able to get her teeth fixed. And her daughter is in a job training program to become a nurse’s assistant.

Getting more and more animated, Olivia dragged me over to a poster on the wall showing Hugo Chavez with a throng of followers and a list of Venezuela’s new social programs that read: “The social programs are ours, let’s defend them.” Then slowly and laboriously, she began reading the list of social programs: literacy, health care, job training, land reform, subsidized food, small loans. I asked her if she was just learning to read and write as part of the literacy program. That’s when she started crying. “Can you imagine what’s it has meant to me, at 52 years old, to now have a chance to read?” she said. “It’s transformed my life.”

Walk through poor barrios in Venezuela and you’ll hear the same stories over and over. The very poor can now go to a designated home in the neighborhood to pick up a hot meal every day. The elderly have monthly pensions that allow them to live with dignity. Young people can take advantage of greatly expanded free college programs. And with 13,000 Cuban doctors spread throughout the country and reaching over half the population, the poor now have their own family doctors on call 24-hours a day—doctors who even make house calls. This heath care, including medicines, are all free.

The programs are being paid for with the income from Venezuela’s oil, which is at an all-time high. Previously, the nation’s oil wealth benefited only a small, well-connected elite who kept themselves in power for 40 years through an electoral duopoly. The vast majority in this oil-rich nation remained poor, disenfranchised, and disempowered. With the election of Hugo Chavez in 1998 on a platform of sharing the nation’s oil wealth with the poorest, all that has changed. The poor are now not only recipients of these programs, they are actively engaged in running them. They’re turning abandoned buildings into neighborhood centers, running community kitchens, volunteering to teach in the literacy programs and organizing neighborhood health brigades.

Infuriated by their loss of power, the elite have used their control over the media to blast Chavez for destroying the economy, cozying up to Fidel Castro, antagonizing the US government, expropriating private property, and governing through dictatorial rule.

They also accuse Chavez of using the social programs that have so improved the lives of the poor as a way to gain voters. In this, the opposition is right: providing people with free health care, education, small business loans and job training is certainly a good way to win the hearts and minds of the people.

You're doing a heck of a job brownie., etc...

Hello non-sequitor.

I really think Socrates would puke if he read some of the drivel you post, Black.

The whole thing is a non-issue. Wealth as a reward for ability at sucking up vs ability at stabbing people in the back? Who cares? Same shit, different deities.
