      Well done Lady Love, a link that doesn't relate to the topic in any way whatsoever, much safer than posting a link to something that says the opposite of your topic!

        I have not yet seen the movie, Capitalism a love story, want to.

        His Movie sicko, Moore is an example of his point of America physical poor health since more people are dying of obesity than starvation in the world and America are the leader in obesity

        I am sure the fat cat rich do not give a dam for the poor and politician protect every conceivable evil known to mankind, as all government are corrupted in degrees. I think Government should more afraid of the people like many places in Europe rather than the other way round like in the USA. I look at Moore as an American hero caring for most people in America, what’s so Hypocrite about that?

          SO---where WAS ABC during the build-up to Iraq?
          REALLY questioned the Rah Rah, huh?

          ehhhhhhh. not.

          There were no liberal views expressed at that time, except for Democracy Now on cable-access tv.

          Any station that is all about Boobs, Viagra and Money money money is not liberal.
          And that would be all of them.

            I think liberalism is greatly linked to our imagination and the great unknown and conservative is like greatly link to our ego self. Blending the two is a healthy mix and balance, like the natural world and universe expanding and contracting.

            Lady love as you notice many people here disagree with you because the great conflict separating natural sources rather than flowing with what is natural in all human being,

            The absence of reason of both balance of liberal and  conservative is evil

              No liberalism is linked to fantasy... the idea that you can elect someone to care for you and serve all of mankind in building a Utopian society without corruption and without force or abuse of power! Reading that it even sounds like a dream unreal imagined.  Conservatism is reality it is doing what comes natural fulfilling your destiny its following your dreams and not giving up when you fail... its knowing as long as you're free anything is possible... dreams and reality I can balance fantasy is better left to stories around the campfire.

              My experience has been that those who genuinely desire to succeed will do so.  And those who do not will not.

              If you aren't earning enough, pick up a second job, or curtail your lifestyle so you can afford to live within your means, or some combination of the two.

              Everybody screams about the economy, but my paper is full of job postings every day.

                Ah, fine words Bill but you know that's all they are.
                Does the mother get two jobs?
                What about the ill and unfit?
                What about people who live in areas where there isn't enough jobs for one per person?

                So, your paper is full of job postings every day, how many are paid enough for a lengthy commute? How many suit the qualifications of the unemployed?
                You know we had exactly this debate in the local pub! No shortage of jobs, look the paper is stuffed with them! So, we went through them all and looked for another job for the doubter, a qualified electrical engineer. How many did we find for him? None, even discarding his qualifications we only found a handful of jobs, the chance of him getting any one of them was virtually nil, as he would be over qualified or too old for them.

                  Nowhere did I say that the job will be your ideal dream job, but there is definitely something out there to put a paycheck in your hands every two weeks.....

                  I know plenty of mothers who work more than one job.  They do what they have to do for their children.

                  If you really want to work, you will find a way to do so.....

                    But that isn't really my dispute is it? Of course it is better to have any job and only erode saving by $25 dollars a week than have no job and erode them by $50 dollars a week.
                    But why should anybody be put in that position when the crony capitalist bosses are making more off them than they make themselves?
                    You don't honestly think it right that somebody should have to have two jobs to make a basic living wage, do you?

        Don't feel sorry for me...I grew up nice middle class with good schools and a nice neighborhood.
        Feel sorry for the little kids who live in poverty, with crumbling, neglected schools, and having to avert gun-fire on a daily basis.
        Poverty is the scourge of America, and unfortunately, the only thing I see happening is MORE money being taken away from people who really need it. More lousy schools allowed to crumble. More kids allowed to just harden, because they have nothing to loook forward to.
        But private schools are getting a boost. And wealthy incomes are getting tax breaks.

        We are destroying this place because we worship money.
        And we all bow down to the rich and powerful.

          If you bow to the rich and powerful, it's your own fault.  You cannot let somebody else's success discourage you from accomplishing the same thing.

            Gvt money IS the "peoples" money!
            You pay it in exchange for living here, don't you?
            Some people want to use it to enhance the wealthy...Republicans.
            Some people want to use it to help the dis-advantaged...Democrats.

            Your side seems to think that everybody was born with a silver spoon in their mouth...it's not so.
            And living in the slums of a city is far different than living in a nice cushy suburb, with all the advantages.

            It is my view that the "peoples" money should be spent to make things better for society as a whole.
            NOT just line the pockets of millionaires, as in Banks, Big Business, Corporations, ALL of whom take a LOAD of the people's money everyday.
