That's not fringe paranoia, that's the way governments in the West are run. It's got nothing to do with votes, Paul. Most mega-corporations are giving huge contributions to both Democrats and Republicans alike (that way it doesn't matter who gets in). The same lobbyists are hard at work trying to convince whoever wins the election to either give their corporation a huge contract or change a law to allow their corporation to increase their profits. What I'm saying is that it really doesn't matter ~who~ we vote for or who gets in, government will continue to favour those who have the most and the best lobbyists and who give the largest campaign contributions. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
