I see an economic diasater coming...

I just don't think people would admit to being a slave.  All I'm saying is they would be more likely to say they are a minion or even better a patsy, rather than say they are bending to the will of another.

Just out of curiosity did anyone think to ask the question as to why they are devaluing the dollar?

...And a lot of 'em are in there, as a matter of fact..(what? You didn't like the financial perpetual-motion idea?).

As in, "the status quo of gluttonous greed forever?"  Something always happens to stop that eventually.  Greed is it's own reward/punishment.

There was a news spot on the TV or internet recently that I remembered:
The drug war in Mexico is getting huge and grave in its consequences.  People living along the border are getting really angry that both Bush and Obama were/are sitting on their but while all this was/is going on.

Mexico could collapse politically if this Mexican military confrontation with the cartels continues.

Lee, I was referring to Walter Burien, check out my link.

Well, I did briefly look at some of the financially-oriented articles associated with the site.  Money isn't something I place an obsessive desire upon to acquire like our Gov't.
Conspiracy is more immediate to my future well-being, however.  That one about the census taker with the GPS tracker raises alarms in my mind, too.  It just confounds me why they thinks it's so important to know the exact location of building entrances.  Ulterior motives?

minion:
1. a favourite or dependant, esp a servile or fawning one.
2. a servile agent (the minister's minions).

slave:
1. a person legally owned by another and having no freedom of action or right to property.
2. a person who is forced to work for another against his will.
3. a person under the domination of another person or some habit or influence (a slave to television).

An arguable distinction, although one may -choose- to be a minion whereas slavery is forced.
