Referring to someone as a retard is not so much an insult, as that state would provide a medical reason for certain behaviour. Why be so ignorant? There are plenty of words to describe foolish people that have full cognitive abilities. Using "retard" like you did says more about you than the individuals who's behaviour you oppose so vehemently. Also, retards do have a flawed view of reality. You sir or madam are an ass.

If there were no subsidies, corporations would bride, sorry - lobby, politicians to create subsidies, etc. There is no way to get politics out of money, but we must minimize money's influence on politics as much as possible

Since when a corporation of two people make a difference (Is there such a thing as corporation of two!?) And i'm not talking about some phony fronts.

What a person wants? And what corporation wants? Because I believe that corporation is more than a sum of it's employees and members. And what is good for corp. not necessarily good for a person. What is why we must limit corporations influence.

How can you be against a corporation making a movie for a political candidate. Corporations have a right to make movies. So if its one person he has all these rights but if two people get together they are a corporation and have no rights? What a stupid argument.

I really hope he does. His fierceness; hard work and personality are tremendous.

Quoting my ancient ancestor Ghandhi huh? Nice touch.

[Defhrone]

Excellent plan. Hope it succeeds. Money in politics has always been wrong. But since you are fighting money you'll get alot of resistance.

Truely hope it succeeds.
