you can kick your leaders , you cant kick a board of directors, or stockholders
or a CEO that is raping you and your neighbors and your coutrymen everyday of every week year in year out.... he doesnt care who's in political power as
long as the wheels keep turning and his bonus clause isnt infringed upon.

I think Che Guevara knew exactly what he'd get and the price he'd pay for it.

@ Torg
I'd like to ask you to please point out who was harsh with you and how you were harmed.
If your opinion was indeed oppressed then I'll be the first in line to come to your defense.
Failing that I'd say you are taking a discussion on world politics a bit too personally and
remind that no one is forced to participate in the thread.
