		<description>These folks remind me of someone who has jumped off the 20th floor of a building.  Passing the 5th floor they wave and talk about how well they are doing.</description>

		<description>Hey Bowz....we already ARE a banana republic, run by monied interests and backed up by private military. You know that the private mercenaries from Blackwater are running under a different name now...and who are they working for? MONSANTO.

We have slipped into a corporate and fascist state. I warned everyone years ago that this was coming but no one was listening. I still fight and speak out when I can, but I&#039;m glad I won&#039;t be around to see what kind of a life my children&#039;s children will be living here in the next few decades. We are being poisoned by our food, our water and from the skies. The world has gone mad in search of a &quot;better life&quot; and the Almighty Dollar.</description>
