Luella,
You seem to have a good picture of what is really going on in the world, but our newest guest does not. So I would like to refer Col. Sanders to watch the 2-hour video @ http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/main.htm
Colonel, I too served my country the same as yours as a US Marine on the tail end of Vietnam. I could tell you some of their stories, but I have neither the room or time for either in this post. Suffice it to say, most citizens, all over the world and not just the USA, have been duped, controlled, lied to and been the victims of mass corruption that seeds itself in the highest offices in the land and with the richest names on the planet.
So, before you criticize Georgios anymore, take this advice from a fellow Kaintuck. GoTo the site and watch the video. Everything there is backed up with evidence and proper research. After, and only after you watch this film, should you come back in here and criticize anybody.
As for patritism, just let me say that everything you and I know and love about the USA... Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, even the Constitution of the US, is at risk of being lost forever. Watch the film and you will understand how President Bush has just sold out all Americans in 2007.
Yes, I am an American too. I may not like your point of view, your religion, or your political affiliation. But as an American, I will fight to the death to defend it. And I do because when they take your right(s), then they can take mine as well. And that is NOT acceptable. So, please accept this invitation to go watch the film for yourself and see exactly what the "Men Behind The Curtain..." are doing, and HOW they are doing it. Before someone bans that video of truth as well.
Sincerely Yours,
