1. The threads indicate that those who have visited here or have lived here are delusional and are ridiculed, as they know not about which they speak. The kitten, Trident/Delta, and j_accuse (and maybe others whose comments I may have skipped over; therefore, I apologize) have given accurate eyewitness reports. I am particularly disturbed at the treatment given to the kitten over and over again by my fellow freepers. She is extremely observant, well informed, and offers a lot of inside information from those in the know (business people which must not be confuse with politicians).
2. Those of you who have never been to Panama, think about the following: It struck me that those arguing that the Chinese are the puppeteers in Panama, calling all the shots about the canal if you will, are suffering from a classic case of brain washing over the years. I know this will never be accepted among a lot of my fellow freepers despite the fact few of you have been to Panama. But just think about it and reread what your fellow freepers whom I mentioned above have had to say.
