@Cminor - Yes, we are all getting a lesson in how dangerous concentration of power is. The government, the media, the drug companies, schools, and other corporations have joined together to inject poison into everybody and brainwash them into believing it will save them. The independent voices like the Market Ticker are saving many people from harm. I would imagine in China they have no access to dissent at all. We have to make as much noise as possible to stop this descent into tyranny.
