Anybody want to take a gander at which Presidental campaign has a Haliburton Lobbist(sp?) working for them? This Lobbist's firm gets paid approx $500,000 a year.

The point is SO THE "HALE" WHAT!!! if it is wrong for any interest to have contacts with the U.S. Government it is wrong for all interests to have contact, i.e. all the enviromental groups, veterans groups, one eyed redheaded bastards groups. Don't try and tell me that one side is wrong/bad/cheating because the humans that make up that side might have interests in other areas, when there is the same kind of things are going on with the other side. I read people complaining about "Big Company" this, "Big Business" that. Where the "Hale" do you think you folks get your paychecks from? If "Big Business didn't exsist the economy would calapse and we would be eating our pet dogs to survive. We would be running around killing each other in numbers that would make the Great Khan proud.

Don't even try this "Well that's the problem, it's all about Money, we need to be like the Federation(as in Star Trek)", and get rid of the money, crap. Here comes the reality check, Star Trek is fake/fantasy/as in NOT REAL, Capt Kirk, & Capt. Picard are not famous for their kind gentle ways, they're are famous for kicking Klingon and Borg BUTT! The Enterprise (all versions) is a Warship, that's right the "peace/love/can't we all just get along crowd's" greatest fantasy of utopian(sp?) society is backed and suported by WAR/Military and the interests that keep it going! Even in the fantasy of no more money they can't solve the problem of war!
