Wowza. Got it in one.

3. Is he normally this open and strident about these things?

I had no idea!

4. Craig's totally unscripted

You never know what he's going to say. It's the best free-wheeling 10 minutes on TV every day. :-)

6. All those in the know back in the day said that a Democracy and Capitalism couldn't work together

unless of course Capitalism is reigned in.

7. so true,..

,..and that is exactly the problem; the reigns have been let go, systematically, bit by bit,. over the last 100 years,. and now the un-constrained capitalism is proving it does not 'work' by some majik force,. greed does not build good things,. it ravages and plunders,. period. anyone who has ever played Monopoly knows that being the banker in that game, is often the key to winning,. if one is willing to cheat the system,. amazing what mear games can teach us eh,.
