Is it okay if I post a link to a letter from the UK that might be very informative about what

is going on in the media and just - well, it speaks for itself. Lets all grow wiser together.

We wonder why Bernie gets treated the way he does by US media, right.

Let me know if you want more, I don't want to spam

Some background. John Hilary is the director of War on Want in the UK and a leading activist in the SAVE THE NHS movement. Save it against what? US!

It's long so I'll finish it later. Our efforts to stop this are mostly limited to the U.S., we just know less about what happens elsewhere and have less say in it, but it's a global process that needs global resistance, so thank you for posting this article.

I believe in democracy. I was raised in the idealistic 1950s when the good guys wore white hats. Now the bad guys wear white hats and they monopolize the airwaves.

IMO, a LOT of what we think are liberal advancements and improvements are going to be gotten rid of in corporate courts, down the road. Don't think country against country, think global money against countries.

No vote from me for anyone who shilled for or votes for these things. Including Fast Track.
