- We are always quick to condemn these acts by other governments, but I wonder what this Government (US) will do when the people wake up and demand that it either comply with the Constitution or face dissolution.

- Something I am not keen in seeing is foul language on here. It isn''t necessary and shows a lack of respect for others and to be honest, it shows a lack of maturity.

- correction, the rich, the wealthy, the powerful do need they masses...

- 18c6 is right. the rich are always with us.
hoarding, gloating, mocking the have nots. wanting
more, and more, and more and more by hook or crook.
soon the rich will not need us, even as consumers
of the cars they sell us so we can get to work.
most people spend their whole paychecks from
working to get to work. might as well just
sleep in a cot at your work station. but soon
androids will do that, and the rich can dispense
with the ''''bothersome'''' peasantry once and for all.

Actually they do the masses, a large middle class with opportunity. This has been lost on many today however. The current form of sociopathology has done its self in repeatedly throughout history. It''s the masses who suffer first though. What has propped up the wealthy of the corrupted latin american countries has been the presence of a productive western world comprised of the greatest common good, a large middle class with opportunity from which the wealthy of these third world countries (middle east included) have nursed from. If the middle class is obliterated the rich will stagnate and inbreed as they have in history. - Reply to this comment
