    The US Federal Government is bailing out banks at the moment.

    Is the ghost of Karl Marx saying " I told you I was right!!"

    I don't believe in ghosts and the highly decomposed body of Karl Marx is by now incapable of saying anything.

    Greed is an inescapable aspect of humanity - the desire to want more of a good thing. It is quite natural that this should reflect itself on society as a whole resulting in a free market and capitalism.

    Balls to communism. Buy a Macbook Pro and surf the net whilst dousing the scum in the streets below your apartment with the dregs of your bottle of Veuve Cliqout.

    Social division ftw.

    that's mainly because there is no viable conservative party in american politics, it's democratic liberals and republican liberals. The only difference between the two parties is the backers they are beholden to, and the democrats at least know they're all about big government.. the republicans are still lying to themselves.

    compassionate conservatism. Great stuff.
