How's your tin foil supply doing?
Tin foil hasn't been used in decades. It's aluminum foil I use, and my supply is fine.

If you can't be original or funny at least try to be accurate.

People that speak on Bilderberg meetings should be ignored? Yikes, how far up the ass of the elite are you?

And no communicating via an evil capitalism-produced electronic device. The hypocrisy is STUNNING. They vilify capitalism, but buy/use its products to do so. Does the irony of their hypocrisy totally escape them? Why no critical thinking skills?

My beef is not with free-market capitalism-I would love that over what we have now.

We have a colluded, controlled economy that is monopolized and protected with the help of our Government in many aspects.

The fact that you try to pass this system off as "free market" is laughable.

Where did I say "free market?" And the fact that you vilify capitalism while doing so on a capitalism-produced PC is laughably absurd. Do you have any idea how foolish that makes you look? Of course, not.

Vernacular terminology works just fine for me. Only those with nothing real to say try to make points by being pathetically concerned about the 45th decimal point on terminology.

Yikes, how far down the Marxist/Conspiracy Theorist sewer are you?

Maybe you'd rather stand in one line or another all day for toilet paper or bread. Bolsheviks ended up doing just that. It's the difference between a demand economy and a command one.

And no one says you need to buy all that junk. That's what a free market is.
