    Indivisible part of the whole indeed.
    you have to get bling for recognizing the frog

    yes he did have the get out of jail card , but I prefer him to his mate Diderot ( poxy silent T ) or even Hobbs who I think Paula rennet secretly admired ( I swear she orgasmed over Hobbes use of the word " brutish " )

    no, we have a social contract , and when parties exceed their mandate we have the right to " review " that contract. now would be a good time

    and for those who ask what would I replace it with ,,,,, i would replace it with a similar system but with a council , the 6th estate, the greed council , made up from a random cross section of society , with no access to lawyers

    simple really , no more 80 dollar underpants

    I read B F Skinners Walden, Huxleys The Island, and some other utopian stories. Even Heidi and Uncle Toms Cabin, all have similar themes of redemption, grace, and courage to do right. To kill a mocking bird....

    The man had a way about him . Would it then follow that a religious businessman is the axis of evil ?

    Wealthy christians like Bush, Cheney spring to mind......some of the wealthiest institutions are founded on religious beliefs yet dont follow in Jesus, Mohammed, Yahwey et al footsteps.....
    What I cant understand is that if you use a demographic like the wealthy in this example that people think your tarring them all to the same brush....FFS .Its like saying that all farmers dont give a shit about the enviroment....Or that conservationists are greenies,or lefties commies or righties fascists...I do believe though that alot some rich definitely think that they're better than the rest.....but their vote is worth only as much as mine.
