    I know... I know... but still, the word you may be seeking is "extort" as in extortion.

    Blackmail is "we will tell your secret if you don't do what we say."

    Exactly......also the x makes it sound cool.

    Aside from the fact that the US has never had unregulated capitalism, you're right.

    There are pretty much no free markets anywhere, except for places like Somalia, where the government is too weak to interfere with the economy. Citing the US economy as an example of free market economics is capital ignorance.

    Yes things are great in Somalia lets model our economy after them.

    I found this very interesting:

    The WhiteHouse.gov website's robots.txt file has been trimmed to:

    Under previous administrations it was pages long. I suppose this may bode well for openness.

    Can you clear that up for me? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't both India and Pakistan go from nuclear power to nuclear weapons after the establishment of NATO and the NPT?

    But the topic is MySpace. That's quite the tangent, unless there's a MySpace video game. Wait, there ISN'T, is there?

    I predict you will hear of these handles in future busts.

    Think of the progression as: Clinton == XP : The best one of the three who made the best use of resources but was muscled out my some goons. G.W. Bush == Vista : By far the worst. All hat and no cattle, bloated, frequently went on vacation while on the job, in the pocket of special interests, and crammed down our throats. No coincidence, then, that it was codenamed "longhorn". Obama == 7 : Quite possibly the flashiest and most hopeful, known for being better than Vista but not as good as the glory days of XP before the "9/11" of DRM/trusted computing/BallmerCheney's grasp.

    By that logic Bush senior is windows 2000. I don't think you thought this through.
