Curiously, I saw no mention of a current government program called Social Security - one the government has handled so expertly I probably will never get to collect from it. Now those same people think they can do better with retirement funds? It is easy to make decisions when the rules don't apply to you.

The corrupt police were also given aliases, including Papa and Brother...
Pinter did not consider his fellow inhabitants of the world lucky, especially those squirming under tyranny's boot. That sense of moral outrage made his political statements more surgically excoriating. His Nobel speech included a bitter reprise of U.S. foreign policy, which he saw as criminal; and he puckishly offered his services as George W. Bush's speechwriter, with this as an audition text for the President: "My God is good. Bin Laden's God is bad. His is a bad God. Saddam's God was bad except he didn't have one. He was a barbarian...
