"Nicaragua is a country that relies on deceiving optimists into trying to live their and do business there, and squeezing them, slowly, like a python. Each breath, the python squeezes tighter, each breath is smaller, until all you have left is just that one small bit of oxygen left in your lungs, one last cubic centimeter, and you wonder, will I make it to the airport?"

the flag follows the dollar

Submitted by tacomasteve on 17 June, 2008 - 13:48.

The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag. I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
