| 688125 | 2008-07-13 05:56:00 | What myopia! Greed is not just a US problem . Let's talk about the Boxer Rebellion, The Panay Incident; The Fuzzy Wuzzy Wars; The Boston Tea Party; VietNam (French), French Mongolia; The Ivory Coast; The DeBeers family; The Gettys; The Firestones; ad barf-ium . It doesn't matter WHO pulls the shady deal . . . if there's a way to get some $$ outta something, there's an entrepeneur ready to steal it for himself . People are people all over the world and nastiness and greed are not just a product isolated to one continent . Not defending the US here as I too feel betrayed because the written ethics verses the actuality and obvious discordance it creates are so obvious . I'd feel the same no matter who is shoving the stick into my nether regions . The big problem with the US is, your government is not in control, major corporations are (as I suspect you already know) . There is no realistic way you can claim the US is a democracy acting for the benefit of the greater populous, communist China is more of a democracy lol . Greed is a much larger problem than many other western countries, your government bends to corporations on a daily basis and acts to protect the rich . The banks are failing as they have been wreckless in lending credit driven by greed . We have the same types of problems here, financial institutions are lending to the high risk and they 'DO' have the right to enquirer about the clients financials . |

Actually..the US has always been a "Federalist Republic", not a true Democracy anyway. |

| 688134 | 2008-09-18 08:31:00 | This is just the beginning, we haven't got to the grand finale yet, 25 years of total mismanagement by right wing dominated governments have brought us to this point. Don't say you weren't warned. |
