To avoid terrorism and violence in Africa, this 2009's Dakar will be in
South America. Jonah Street will be returning as the top american
motorcycle competitor. Coverage on Versus was just announced. See the

Sums up to "Greed" in my book on page (insert #).
Also this bit of info might help some see where we are going:
-------------------------
When our original 13 colonies adopted their new constitution 1787,
Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of
Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of several democracies years
earlier.
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as
a permanent form of government.
"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters
discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public
treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will collapse due to loose fiscal
policy, which is followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the
world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been
about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always
progressed through the following sequence.
"1. From bondage to spiritual faith
"2. From spiritual faith to great courage.
"3. From courage to liberty.
"4. From liberty to abundance.
"5. From abundance to complacency.
"6. From complacency to apathy.
"7. From apathy to dependence.
"8. From dependence back into bondage."
----------------
Looks like we might be on the edge of step 8 to me....
Glad I have some ammo stocked up so I can continue to at least hunt
for food and grow small crops to bait in the meat that will go with
the veggies....

is trickle down Reagan-nomics at work. The attitude among the power
people today is get EVERYTHING for the top dog and screw everyone else
along the way. And it doesn't stop with the private sector. Last year
the president of the U of MN made over 700,000.00. Why does he
deserve that kind of money? Every student is paying inflated tuition
costs so the president can rake in money like that. There isn't
anything about this that is trickle down. It is simply welfare for
the wealthiest and capitalism for the rest of us.
