1. Coups by definition are illegal, and often involve a military takeover. Bush stole the election legally.

2. What is it that makes the Californian companies more successful than their European counterparts? If it's just the aggressive marketing, then it has nothing to do with California vs. Europe.

3. So, political parties are not a mass media conspiracy.

4. Would you mind explaining what happens yourself, rather than linking to a site of questionable credibility?

5. In that case, how does Reuters being a monopoly matter? There are no opinions expressed in raw data on market prices, and Bloomberg and information from within Wall Street prevent any fraudulent reporting.

6. Let me ask you a question: why do people eat at Burger King? Last time I checked - that at least was the reason I had eaten at Burger King before I started boycotting it for the crappy taste of its food - people ate there purely because of their own choice. By the way, what you said abotu guns in LA is bullshit. According to Bowling for Columbine, 11,000 people are killed in the USA every year from guns; Iraq's civilian casualties figure is probably in the high 40,000s right now.

Final note: I lived in NY during the tech boom. I only moved to NoCal in the summer of 2000, after the bust. Actually, I live in Oakland :-), even though I've never thought of it as "Jerry Brown's Oakland." And while Bustamante and Davis won Alameda County, this is nothing to be proud of; Cruz is a Lieberman suppoter whose position on the death penalty is to the right of Bush's and whose ethics rival Ken Lay's, and Gray is a gray, incompetent politician who increased UC and CSU's tuition by 30% shortly before the recall in order to hike the prison guards' wages as well as spend $220 million on a new death row.
