Touchy aren't we?
So I guess you all are enjoying the mortgage crisis brought on -- among other reasons -- by hedge fund speculation.
In fact, you probably mist up when you think back to the good old days of the commodity trusts, Standard Oil, the big railoads, et al. when the Rockafellers, Carnegies, Vanderbuilts, (SP!) controlled Congress and virtually all trade.
Yep: the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act as yet another progressivist plot to bring the Reds in.
Ah, the good old days of smallpox and polio; of widows forced into prostitution; and orphans into workhouses; of growing up never having to worry about grades because you couldn't afford to go to school; of no paved roads; and no rural electrification; of cholera in drinking water; and rivers on fire in Ohio; etc. etc. etc.
Yep, if it weren't for those damn progressives, we would be rid of all that collectivist s**t.
But enough thread degradation: lets hear it again for that kid with the flag on the bicycle: he has a road to ride on, and a school to ride to!
