Thanks for not letting us down ES.
Hey Wom.

Did either of us claim the USA was a Democracy? I just checked our previous posts and saw no mention of the USA being a democracy in any of them.

On the other hand the current POTUS does think we live in a democracy and that may give some credibility to our quotes above.

Have a good one mate.

For the first time in a long while, RICHARD, you and I are in complete agreement.

Utter rubbish.

Well blue old mate. Here's some facts.
The only country mentioned in my post was Greece. There was no mention at all about the USA or any other country for that matter. Perhaps our "Fly On The Wall" believes I am having a shot at the tiny little world she exists in.

Secondly, the post made no mention of republics, it was purely and simply a quote written about a democracy. Altho, if our fly on the wall knew anything else other than where Paul Revere bought his horse, then perhaps she would understand the truth in that post regarding rise and fall of nations.

Thirdly, no one knows WHO wrote that quote. Just because someone at Snopes says it wasn't Tytler means nothing to me. That's HIS opinion. My opinion is that Tytler did write it, and Tytler was VERY accurate. It's not the quote that was questioned by Snopes, it was who wrote the quote.

So if our fly on the wall believes Snopes, then so be it. But we will allow her to tell us WHO wrote the quote.... I mean....she knows everything...right ???

I am shocked...absolutely SHOCKED..a news organization belonging to Rupert Murdoch engaged in deplorable, disgusting behavior?!?!?!?

Murdoch

There really isnt much of a difference anymore.

Um, did you follow the story at all? Folks at the paper he is shutting down went far beyond the tactics of most of the normal muckraking media outlets. They not only hacked into people's phones, repeatedly, regardless of the consequences, they even did so in the case of a missing child, and deleted messages on her cell phone, making her poor parents - and the investigators - believe she was alive somewhere and accessing her phone, when instead she has been murdered already.

Im actually shocked that she is shocked. I thought she was so much more informed, her post makes her seem like she has been living in a cave with a caveman and a cavecat.

When all of the advertisers pulled their ads, then & only then did he
get it. I hope he loses tons more money from all the lawsuits to come
from this.
