We all have numerous choices in America. It’s one of the trademarks of a Capitalistic society. Grocery stores confuse me and I tend to stay out of department stores for fear of getting lost. If I visit Amazon.com or any one of thousands of online stores (millions?) I’m struck by the plethora of choices I face.

The House-Senate compromise bill on overhauling regulations on banks and other financial institutions was passed today at 5:40 AM. Two years after the American economy began to collapse, lawmakers began their negotiations in front of C-Span cameras on Thursday morning, but ended them behind closed doors on Friday. So much for transparency.

Why is the America the lone holdout in the entire world to hold real football in disdain? Cuz we are Cowboys. We are Hypercapitalist war mongering Cowboys.
