			We have been saying for a long time that the stock market is a 
			gambling casino and that our unrestrained Free Market Capitalism has 
			reached its unsustainable regime with the appointment of George Bush 
			Jr. to the Presidency by the Supreme Court of the United States.
			We are going to understand little by little and in accordance to 
			our intelligence many of the problems of Free Market Capitalism. And 
			in doing so we are going to explain ideas as they prop up in our 
			imagination and without paying too much attention to their 
			congruence as we have reached the point where we must compare apples 
			with oranges to make some sense of the Free Market, a market which I 
			have defined as a conspiracy by the big corporations and fortunate 
			sons.  
			I have a sense of disbelief on how our business schools, 
			politicians and experts are all conjuring for a new world order 
			managed by technological advances as normally protected by 20 year 
			intellectual property rights, managed by supporting tax cuts as more 
			people are being marginalized, managed by supporting smaller 
			governments as corporations become bigger and steal from common 
			people, managed by supporting privatization as our democracies are 
			eroding, managed by the predictions of our institutionalized 
			economists as they try to sustain the ideology of the Free Market, 
			and above all, and yes, a new world order supported by the super 
			power of the push-button United States military machinery.  
			I am trying to put some ideas in writing so that I can follow 
			some more congruent thoughts later, but my point is that our 
			unrestrained Free Market Capitalism has reached its unsustainable 
			Big Bubble and this is why we are living in a state of secrecy, of 
			fear, of autocratic environment and this is why our freedom has been 
			taken over by the forces of the Free Market and this is why the Big 
			Bubble is being protected by the superpower of the United States 
			military machinery.
