Remind of someone - Bush. Mercenary army and torture being employed in a war of choice? Does not sound like the America you read about in the history books. Maybe the history books are full of shit. Maybe we are just another brand of Fascists. I think I will block this all out and go listen to some Toby Kieth. I would rather live in a redneck fantasy world.

Further, big businesses with questionable bookkeeping practices hired solely based on their loyalty to the ruling party, are similarly flawless and honest. Always and forever. Shorter Kilo:

If that's the case, why would Blackwater drug test them? I have to say I find the whole issue of their hiring practices of employee vs independent contractor very confusing.

The level of personal and social dishonesty (intellectual and otherwise), including abject denial of the fundamentals of our social contract, has gotten to the point that I'm beginning to think that someone put something in our collective drink. Our grandparents would have never allowed a mercenary army - especially at the cost to the taxpayer (with the exception of the government-backed strikebreakers of the early 20th century). We all know what's going on, and the vast majority of Americans are opposed. How did the People get so weak? Like I said: surreal. America has become surreal.
