Ahh, and there we get to the crux of the matter: "free choice" in employment boils down to letting business make all the choices about employment. So if you grow up in a town where the only employment is a coal mine, and the owner of the mine chooses to pay starvation wages and chooses not to...

That depends on the people. Political rights do not exist because they have been legally set down on a piece of paper, but only when they have become the ingrown habit of a people, and when any attempt to impair them will meet with the violent resistance of the populace.

My opinion is strong because it's thought out and grounded in observable fact. You've just illustrated my point. Corporations have lobbyists with permanent offices in the capital, constant and regular contact with politicians and untold dollars to throw around. Workers can..... write a...

When you donate, no it doesn't. When a corporation with more money than 45 countries combined (ie. Wal-Mart) does, yes it does. That's why there are no anti-capitalist politicians. Anyone opposing corporate control won't get enough funding to get in office. Anyone who magically transformed into...

We're in Miami all the time. We were just at Hotel Shelley on Collins last week. You can give her a big fat smooch in person!! :D

That kind of free choice would only be possible in an ideal situation, where people had sex on film purely for pleasure. In reality, actors are motivated mainly by financial gain. And many producers won't hire them unless they perform without condoms. So, in practice, they're ****** into an...

Who said it was?? That's not a valid comparison at all. A person deciding to take a swim in shark infested water and a worker looking for employment in an industry that promotes unsafe practices. Apples and footballs *******. You have no ideas what porn actors what or don't want. Show me a...

Fact: Every president elected in the last 60 years was the one that raised more money for campaigning. That's almost always been the case with congressional and local elections as well. Not true at all. For example, in the 2008 elections Wal-Mart and Pfizer, two of the biggest corporations...

That's true. Corporations like Wal-Mart, Pfizer, Verizon, etc., pump money into candidates from both parties. There's a lot at play. But those very corporations end up choosing which candidate will win by giving them more total funds. They cast the votes that count with their dollars for the...

Neither wing of the Capitalist-Imperialist Party (Democratic and Republican) have support among the public at large. But in our great system, that doesn't matter. Whoever gets the support of the corporate giants gets stewardship of the corporatist state. That's been the case for decades. The...

A start of what, exactly? No.. It's actually an advance in the consolidation of corporatism in the United States of America.

Got it. It was Dire Straits - Walk of Life. I was off by a decade or two.

One could also argue the following: - It's not a personal choice since a number of producers will not hire actors that want to use condoms. - While in some industries it's impossible to produce the intended product or service after utilizing certain safety measures, porn can still be made...

BTW, the reason this "reform" is bogus and nothing like the real, progressive reforms of the past (the creation of the 40-hour work week, the creation of the right to organize on the job, the creation of unemployment insurance, the creation of social security, the creation of medicare, etc.) is...

In regards to the new health care bill, this is what you need to know: - Obamacare is not universal health care, and it sure as hell isn't socialized medicine. Rather than creating a public health system that extends care to every individual, it's a pro-business measure that aims to *****...
