Be sure to catch Oliver Stone's last episode of "The Untold History of the United States" where he discusses Hillary's run. We need to get rid of "machine politics" in the US which has become as corrupt as any country imaginable and now blatantly open about it. Presidents don't really run policy anyway, the people behind them do. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: [email protected] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
