In reply to La Redoute. But not Kev himself, of course.

There’s nothing human in Kev’s universe – only evil.

Kev,

Its not as clear cut as you seem to think.

Global capitalism is as stretched now as it was in the 30s.

Do you really believe some grand design maturing over generations is the cause? In that case, where do we start?

I believe that leaving the foundations of economic policy in the hands of the banking system, deregulated by successive American administrations to compensate for inherent cultural inadequacies, could be a simpler explanation.

It’s not evil, it’s human.

In reply to kev. Again, all the examples you gave me are American. Back up your opinion with Maltese examples. Who are these same rulers (in Malta) that rule America's rulers?

When oh when will Labour have a “good” leader such as Dr.Paul Boffa – a person who would listen and would answer in a civilized manner

In reply to Lilla.

No, Lilla, we’re a country that is ruled by the same rulers that rule America’s rulers – get this and you’ll be well on your way to knowing what’s really happening.

Fortunately, the American people are finally being woken up by presidential candidate Ron Paul. Listen to the man and compare him with plastic-man Romney and polyester-man Rick Perry (not to mention Obama, the current android): http://www.dailypaul.com/177116/ron-paul-town-hall-meeting-at-new-england-college-new-hampshire-full-speech-9-1-2011

This is Jon Stewart’s take on the Comedy Channel:

Here’s what many Democrats are saying now: “I Voted for Obama, Now I’m Voting for Ron Paul” : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anthony-anderson/i-voted-for-obama-now-im-_b_944097.html

In reply to kev. Kev, skuzani imma qed thallat il-hass mal bass. I believe in what the great Carlin says about AMERICA, but we are not a country that is ruled by corporations and lobbyists. We still have a choice.

“Brincat also echoed speculation in the MLP’s media outlets that the USG might have offered to conclude a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) as a quid pro quo for Malta agreeing to rejoin PfP. The Ambassador told Brincat flatly that the USG had not exerted any pressure Malta to rejoin PfP, and that the just-concluded DTA had been negotiated by the US Department of Treasury over the course of two years with no reference whatsoever to PfP.”

This is precisely Gaddafi PL’s line of reasoning.

No bail-out money for Greece if they don’t ratify the agreement for our sixth seat in EU Parliament – Joseph Cuschieri

No release of Libyan assets if we don’t have guarantees for the ‘Maltese ‘ investments in Libya – Luciano Busuttil

Use our veto on other issues if the EU insists that we fulfil our obligations on immigration – Joseph Muscat

If EU does not give Libya 1 billion euros a year, the immigrants will keep coming to Europe – Muammar Gaddafi

These are the GaddafiPL standards.
