Harry, have you heard or or read the book
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins?

The gist is: Government, business, and the world-banks are run by
a group of people with similar self-interests and that they activly
manipulate events for their own benefits.

I'm not sure I fully belive his theory and that even if it was true
I'm not fully convinced it is all a bad thing or that there are other
better ways of doing business. And I think the book cold be written
better - giving more substance. But still, it's an easy and though
provoking read.

No, I haven't seen that book, but there's little doubt of collusion
between government and industry in the Bush Administration to control
and manipulate in order to serve their common self-interests, which do
not include the interests of ordinary citizens.

You mean like Global Crossing and Terry McAuliffe during Clinton's reign?

Or the massive and pervasive fraud throughout the entire
telecommunications
industry - which Clinton and Magaziner KNEW OF and did nothing about?

Or the huge screw job perpetrated upon the public in the form of the
IAHC/IANA/et.al. that Clinton's crew hand-engineered?

There were tens of millions of working class people who were butt****ed by
Clinton and his cronies when the chickens came home to roost, their
retirement accounts destroyed and their jobs gone.

My, how hypocritical you are.

Everything you've said is true, but keep something in mind: Halliburton is
playing with fire in places where more Americans will probably lose their
lives to support their business dealings. You know that.
