  Giuliani is anti-American and a subversive, a Bush with brains and little feeling for the people. He also proved that he is a lunatic by allying himself with that other looney, Pat Robertson who is always receiving exclusive personal messages from god. They in turn are aligned with the Stupid Party which has in nearly two terms of the squatter in the White House's presidency brought America to the brink of ruin. Giuliani's crocodile tears for the 9/11 victims and his claim to fame since that disaster is outrageous and shameful. He is an opportunist of the first order. He should …

Americans say just about anything they want …

  This article, as well as other reports I've read about corporations in general, is proof enough to me that slavery was never abolished in the United States. Today it continues in its many evil forms, white collar and blue collar alike, supported by laws made from politicians whose only interest is in giving themselves annual raises and mere lip service to the people's interests. Although I no longer live in the US, I've known all along that corporations like Smithfield abuse workers in every which way they can get away with it. All their products should be boycotted - now, because …
