Very intriguing thought run... If you have any serious business dealings with them, you will very quickly see them through their false guard, for the true fascists they are.
They have effectively established a two caste system: There are the extremely, oh-yeah, very wealthy, and those of us who must struggle. Under the second category are included the house Negger (just like the gov's name...), who must pick the fruit, write the software, wipe the blessed little ones' bottoms, etc.
Perhaps I have crossed their "high flying, Mary Jane" border too many times, and have become now somewhat jaded...?

BERKELEY, Calif. -- As six Republican senators devised a plan to yank $2.3 million in federal funding for Berkeley programs, the mayor of the famously liberal city apologized Wednesday for his hard stance against a Marine recruiting center.
Two City Council members vowed to soften his stance as well.
Stand Against Marines Could Cost Berkeley
At their Tuesday council meeting, leaders will discuss scrapping a letter that might be perceived as targeting the center or the Marines.
"Subtly stated in the resolution is perhaps an impugning of the soldiers fighting for us in Iraq and other places," Berkeley City Councilman Laurie Capitelli. "And that was never the intention but that really needs to be cleared up. As I walked to my car that night I realized I regretted it and I had made a mistake."
The letter said that the recruiting center was not welcome on Shattuck Avenue and that the Marines were uninvited and unwelcome intruders. The letter was originally approved in January and has not been sent. Councilmembers have said they would replace the "intruder item" with words expressing their support for the troops but not the war in Iraq.
The Republican plan would give the funds, intended for a school lunch program, UC Berkeley and ferry service, to the Marines instead.
"Patriotic American taxpayers won't sit quietly while Berkeley insults our brave Marines," said one of the senators.
The recruiting center opened about a year ago and quickly became a target of anti-war protesters including the group Code Pink.
Last week the council passed resolutions giving Code Pink a place to park out front. Some have said that meant the city giving was giving the group a place to continuously protest the Marines.
Others on the council seemed quite firm on their stance, NBC11's Christie Smith reported.
Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Barbara Lee said they plan to fight the Republican bill.
Code Pink members said they plan to be at the council meeting on Tuesday but they'll have some company from groups who support the war and support the troops as well.
