      Part B only didn't happen because they underestimated Iraq's ability to fight back. Just as Bin Laden planned, we exhausted our resources and built up a massive deficit just with Iraq and Afghanistan

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      Yeah, pretty much the whole of the democratic world is, Europe is ahead the US though, at least freedom of speech is constitutionally protected for now there. I'm already at the stage where I have to concisouly think about what I say incase it contravines the law. The seeds for totalitarianism were sown in the 1920's ish Only now are we really starting to see the effects of it.

      The FDA looking out for agro-biz and big pharma. AKA business as usual. They're no less corrupt than the legislature itself.
