Only at a certain level. The people have been trying to get rid of them since 1776.

And "joined at the hip" is not how I would describe it. More like joined at the purse. And it's not so much England as the "City of London" the we need to lose.

Yep, emotional appeal, thinking with the limpic brain and occasionally the stem.

And it does not seem to be I that doesn't see, is it? It is not I that refuses to see and question.

Yes I love my B17 or Laetrile. Keeps me sharp and healthy. You should try some but then that will never happen, will it? But this stuff is almost as good as Cannabinoids. Don't do big pharma because that would make me just plain stupid.

Don't forget to take your medications now.

Probably gets that from Switzerland:

Swiss Central Bank Imposes Negative Interest Rates

Wow, outstanding.

Wow, seems like the aliens are in Switzerland:

UFO sighting over Basel, Switzerland in 1566

That sure accounts for a lot.

Quite sure I'm not the only one, have met way too many with that capability. But as George Carlin used to say: "You're not in the club."

Then there are those that have no tools and see absolutely nothing. They are left with nothing in life but to follow along like good little sheeple. But of course if something does happen, it is always someone else's fault.

"I've come to realize that the biggest problem anywhere in the world is that people's perceptions of reality are compulsively filtered through the screening mesh of what they want, and do not want, to be true." - Travis Walton

"If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, may your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

And forget the countryman part, you aren't.

Very true, a blanket that precludes having to think.

The internet prospect is way beyond the social media. They are looking for total control and to shut down any site that opposes them including many of the alternate media sites. SOPA will rise again regardless of the number of idiots that think it is but a theory.

And I don't believe filtering is their goal as much as total control. All that is occurring like the protests in Seattle over police militarization, uncontrolled police state and just outright trying to ban all but approved media is but the symptoms. The disease is much worse.

As to North Korea, why would that little sleazeball care one iota about some stupid movie? There have been much worse incidents in the past regarding that little sleazeball and all he does is rattle sabers but if one listens, as defensive not offensive. I believe Kim Jong Un is not the sharpest knife in the drawer but definitely not the dullest. Even his strongest ally would abandon him should he start crap.

While I believe people should be free, getting free is their problem and that applies to North Korea. They are not my enemy, but their own. Some day they as well as us will figure this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6b70TUbdfs.

As to North Korea being guilty, not at all. All that claims it is true is the government, specifically the FBI after first claiming they didn't. But the security experts are claiming that it isn't so including this newest one that just popped up: North Korea Hacked Sony? Don’t Believe It, Security Experts Say which is but a claim with no sources. But then: The Evidence That North Korea Hacked Sony Is Flimsy has many valid points.

Well at least you are capable of an understanding of something, even at a base level. Of course expecting one to comprehend would be way too much.

It must be a really boring drifting through life believing what is told you except for those brief moments of emotion judgement and display.

Still falling for the emotional appeal I see.

So you do agree that Reagan and Odumbo are about the same, glad to see you are making progress. Now if one could forsake those drugs then perhaps the solipsism can be cured.

That would be as bad as putting Odumbo there.

I am absolutely with you here. When viewed on the whole, way too many inconsistencies and loose ends. This whole thing seems to be activist based but now is being used as a false flag on two fronts:

1) as an excuse for the government to attack North Korea with the approval of the sheeple.

2) as a means of establishing control over the internet that the corporations want to instill.

Add, how about removing the last two as they tarnish the memory of the founders.

So no clue eh? Hint: think Arab Spring.

I prefer mine with mashed or perhaps on occasion Toads in a hole.

But what does that have to do with reality? If you are trying to refer that I am a prick or a-hole, yes I am and proud of it.

But there are many idiots that desire to remain that way and look at the messenger instead of the message. And I love it, goal accomplished.

Far, far from it. Yours is but a power trip, mine is to restore power where it belongs, the individual. Mine is to freedom, yours is to enslavement on a larger scale.

Well, that's going in the right direction.

With my ability to research, I can know whatever I want to know. With my lack of emotion, I am able to look at all sides equally. And from that form a perception not based on what I want to be true, but what I find to be true.

And with your propensity to have a perception based on your emotions (as Anonymous so oft says), expect me.

Now to the meat, for some reason you believe you have some right to disparage the US, well then I then have the right to bring forward actual true info on the Swiss, especially those illustrious Swiss banks that make the Rothschilds and Warburgs look like paupers.

But it is so nice to see your emotional outburst.

But to remain on topic, thanks for the confirmation of being right on about the similarities between California and the Swiss.
