"The form of law which I propose would be as follows: In a state which is desirous of being saved from the greatest of all plagues -- not faction, but rather distraction -- there should exist among the citizens neither extreme poverty nor, again, excessive wealth, for both are productive of great evil . . . Now the legislator should determine what is to be the limit of poverty or of wealth.": Plato (427-347 B.C.): =
"The greatest country, the richest country, is not that which has the most capitalists, monopolists, immense grabbings, vast fortunes, with its sad, sad soil of extreme, degrading, damning poverty, but the land in which there are the most homesteads, freeholds-where wealth does not show such contrasts high and low, where all men have enough-a modest living-and no man is made possessor beyond the sane and beautiful necessities.": Walt Whitman (1819-1892): =
"A State divided into a small number of rich and a large number of poor will always develop a government manipulated by the rich to protect the amenities represented by their property.": Harold Laski (1930): =
"There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else.": Peyton Conway March (1864-1955) US Army General, US Army Chief of Staff during the final year of WWI === Mumbai Massacre Carried Out By Brits By By Jerry Lawton, Emma Wall and Gemma Wheatley === Mumbai Massacres as the Defeat of Counter-terrorism By Gilad Atzmo Terror is a message written on the wall but for some reason most Westerners fail to read it. Our enthusiasm to bring Coca-Cola to the Muslim world must be curbed immediately. We should keep our liberal democratic fantasy to ourselves, especially now when it had been proven as a faulty concept.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21349.htm === Obama's First Problem is US War Crimes The president-elect has to take a stand on Bush's dark legacy By Andrew Sullivan === George W. Bush Belongs in Prison By Joel S. Hirschhorn To ensure that no future president behaves like George W. Bush we must punish him. Not merely through the words of historians, but through the physical punishment that he has inflicted on so many millions of people. In previous eras citizens would have demanded "off with his head." Now we must demand "lock him up." How poetic for a pro-torture ex-president.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21358.htm === Playing Catch-Up with Barack Obama By Simon Floth A mystery humbles the Clintons, conquers big media, trumps racism, leaves a bifucated mess of the GOP, and casually takes the Whitehouse. His two-phase strategy was simple: tantalise liberals with a prospect of real change and play centrist to the rest. It was executed to perfection and everyone is left scratching their heads.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21352.htm === We Will Not Jump Ship By Sheila Samples Millions of us who voted for Obama are weary of fighting our way through the tangles of an Orwellian world. We yearn to live in a Wellstonian world, one where "...politics is not about observations or predictions. Politics is what we create by what we do, what we hope for, and what we dare to imagine."

This weekend, that same banker sent me another e-mail message, which he has also agree to let me publish. It's another wake-up call. Too bad nobody is listening.

One was a European representing the Rothschilds and Warburgs.
