4. What you need is a general strike, but I don't think you will
be able to get everyone on board for one until they are rock bottom desperate. Too bad.

5. If they did business with us little people



I would nominate Halliburton.

But we're not the ones who award them the no-bid contracts. So we can all go to hell for all they care.

no moran on the right calls me a commie without my reply..

"BUSH IS A FUCKING M-U-R-D-E-R-E-R AND A T-H-I-E-F..." then I proceed with my 911 research/DSM/Plame/Spygate
plus the many unfucking believable "BUSH ISMS".. there always good to throw in their faces.

22. Yeah. Exxon.
That creepy artificial person who did a number on Prince William Sound about 17 years ago and spend lots of on phoney research on global warming that is on the same order as the tobacco industry's research on smoking and lung cancer.
