: : Erm, last I checked SDF was about stopping others from running folks' lives...: Ha! Are we talking about the same SDF? Perhaps he has an evil twin living in a parallel universe and is a Conservative.
SDF: Frenchy, of course, thinks that those who dare to teach Brazilian peasants to THINK FOR THEMSELVES about WHO runs their lives "ought to be pistol whipped, tarred and feathered and driven out of town". His political guru Ronald Reagan, of course, had a foreign policy that "ran people's lives," and its total effect, spread out over several Presidents, is accurately described here. This is the sort of "running people's lives" that the world's working people experience. So we can drop the pretense, because if we wanted to name anyone here who "feels they can run everybody's lives," we can start by naming Frenchy, and add as a footnote Frenchy's support for those who own and rule.
