Be patient, depending on your Intenet Connection it may take anywhere from 15 Seconds to 2minutes to load.

Can you give us cliffs? I don't feel like interrupting my music to watch a movie that might suck.

No, I cannot give cliffs. But I can almost promise that it will make you laugh.

It is less than 2 minutes long and everyone I have emailed it to has loved it.

Watching that made me think that some people's ignorance of what capitalism really is runs so deep that they must have an agenda regardless of how stupid they might be. Cheney is no more a capitalist than Stalin was, and censorship is about as anti-capitalist as anything can be.

How is that so?

"In common usage capitalism refers to an economic system in which all or most of the means of production are privately owned and operated, and where investment and the production, distribution and prices of commodities (goods and services) are determined privately in a free market, rather than by the state." Text

Cheney's handouts come from the state, thus it is government control and not capitalism.
Censorship is government control over private industry, and thus anti-capitalist.
