I'm not saying you're wrong, mind; my father was one of those United pilots who got the shaft. I'm just throwing that observation into the mix.
True to a point, but as it used to practically own the oil and gas trade after Rockerfeller screwed with it all those years back. Standard Oil brought about regulation of the oil and gas trade and it worked.

And in my opinion, the people of the United States owns the military, and the government is simply charged with regulating and maintaining it. :p Much like the military used to be charged to the Militia's!

I am making much sense today, no? Must be on a roll! :hmm:
