you will no doubt enjoy the fact that if you just throw out a comment accusing someone of something, SOMEONE will ask you for proof. It helps curb false information and differentiates the site from FAUX type misinformation found on other sites and of course in the MSM.

Btw, I hope people like Snowden and Greenwald and Manning WILL make millions some day as they deserve it, unlike the criminals who collapsed the world's economies or the war mongers who I'm sure you agree, do not deserve the billions they have stolen by lying and corruption etc.
