if it get's colder in Herus living room -

it still doen't mean that there is no "global warming" -

"A heat wave sizzling across the West showed little sign of letting up Thursday, with Las Vegas forecast to tie a record high and even northern Idaho expected to top 100 degrees.

Phoenix is into its 12th year of below record rainfall. Like the rest of the Southwest and parts of the Southeast, it's in the middle of an extreme drought, reports CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes.

Near-record highs were also forecast for Southern California, where the mercury was expected to top 115 in the desert. Los Angeles is on track to record the driest 12 months since records began back in 1877'.

yep - godot -

'It could be dismissed as just a conspiracy theory, except you're watching it happen'.

But don't forget IT can happen to them too - It probably would just take around 10 Million American Credit Card holders who would stop making payments tomorrow and the Banks would be finished for good - and everybody could start over with the 'good Credit card company who just charges 4 Percent interest!

And now don't tell me you won't find 10 Million Americans who are ready to participate in

THIS great conspiracy - They just have to put their pitchforks away and grab the 'instruments' for a revolution in the 21 century!

and alter! -

these are 'the people' who already saw it ALL by 2005 -

I think YOU need to watch it - (better all 5 parts) - and it will help you a lot to recheck the 'base' of your argument!

thank's godot -

and about this 50 000$ income - I hope alter you are familiar with the favorite joke of 'statistics'

If you have one hand in the refrigerator (the bankers?) and one in the fire (the people) you get a medium temperature of 50 000$ a year!

and about your "creation shtick" -

I have this friend who works for Porsche and he always tells me you create it by 'creating something the whole world wants - and not by selling worthless 'derivatives' and charging outrageous commission for it!

I try again -

because you completely ignored the major point of my post:

Decent but not outrageous profits for the owners or stockholder -

Good salaries -

A social consciences about hiring and not 'firing' -

and a good and reasonable health insurance (they pay around half in Germany what you pay in the US)

YOU JUST HAVE TO STOP TO BE SO DAMN GREEDY!!!!!

And I picked Henry Ford as a 'role model' because you have to pick a typical greedy American

or do you think by paying CEOs Millions and the average American family around 50 000$ a year you are going to solve the economic crises?!!

You can not be THAT naive!

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 06:38 AM

so harpie -

let's call it 'Fordism' - He is - (was) - as 'American' as it gets!!

And by the way- if these overly greedy bankers are not adjusting to the new reality - they are going to eat it AGAIN - because the American people will teach them the next lesson by 'defaulting' in such high numbers that even insuring those losses - (what the clever devils from Goldman did) - will not help them anymore - because finally the insurers might go belly up and America will turn into a 'socialistic' paradise - where everything is going to be run by thee govenment (the only 'entity' who still has cash - by printing) - and then y'all better develop a more sympathetic view of this government and try to work with it - or IT will fire their 'nation'!

Are any of you on the other side of this debate offering a competing vision for the economic infrastructure of our society and indeed the world economy -

- for sure - and it's so easy -

You just got to spread the wealth - think about Henry Ford - he spread the wealth enough that his workman could afford what they produced and there are a lot of companies in Europe who work with this system -

Decent but not outrageous profits for the owners or stockholder -

Good salaries -

A social consciences about hiring and not 'firing' -

and a good and reasonable health insurance (they pay around half in Germany what you pay in the US)

YOU JUST HAVE TO STOP TO BE SO DAMN GREEDY!_

or do you think by paying CEOs Millions and the average American family around 35 000$ a year you are going to solve the economic crises?

Nope!! - or as Robert (Reich) now also tells America - There will be no way out of the recession like that!

sorry made a mistake -

Garlic is spelled A-g-l-y-o and not Alito!

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 03:56 AM

this is a good one -

and basically I love this threat but you shouldn't have put my in this quandary! -

My heart is torn -

I mean I loved San Juan - but to compare Puerto Rican empathy to Italian empathy (even if it comes with too much Alito - garlic) - That's unfair!

give em hell Glenn -

these guys REALLY deserve it!!

Monday, July 13, 2009 04:46 AM

or do you think it is - again -

this 'democracy' or 'freedom of speech' problem - badass Jackson would have solved it easily - a long time ago - but nobody has respect anymore for our 'founders' and the 'American' rule of law - and can you imagine the International Herald Tribune smeared the founders this morning (via Mrs. Collins and read by my dad) - with the rumor that they - (the founders) - didn't respect woman at all!! - Do you think it was another 'trial balloon' (to be on topic)---

But this time from the NYT?

The 'nerve' of these people - you are soo right!)
