Your system, your society, your empire, and your way of life are dead, done, and over... There will always be room for those who make room for themselves; but what if the world grows tired of liars, and lies...We need the truth...If we do not get it from a man like Mr. Obama who really wants save your failed society, then we will look else where... That is the name of the game... We have lived long without truth, and now the want is killing us like it has killed empires before us...We must have enough to get by...It does not matter what you call it...We need truth, and we will never get it from you....Thanks...Sweeney
