I haven't finished this yet, but it seems to explain a lot of the unexplained about the Iraq... uh... situation, such as the rushed June 30th "transfer of power" compared to the relatively slow leadup to elections, and, most strikingly, the post-war plans of the Bush administration: an idyllic playground for multinationals. Why is it that when the left talks about ideals, they're called naive, whereas right-wing idealism is not only considered realistic, it's considered an informed solution?

Damn it Jere! Don't tempt God or he'll send down his wrath. The point I was trying to make is that this board is like a commune. No one owns or forces people to do things. We all have a collective experiance and we get as little or as much out of it as we want. No controls anyone... except the almighty Paras who will smite you if you incur his wrath.

Baghdad Year Zero by Naomi Klein:
In keeping with the belief that private companies are more suited than governments for virtually every task, the White House decided to privatize the task of privatizing Iraq's state-dominated economy.
Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate and former chief economist at the World Bank, describes Bremer's reforms as "an even more radical form of shock therapy than pursued in the former Soviet world."
When Paul Bremer shredded Iraq's Baathist constitution and replaced it with what The Economist greeted approvingly as "the wish list of foreign investors," there was one small detail he failed to mention: It was all completely illegal.

If anyone asks, I'm doing this test in duplicate, just in case the deletion of this first post was a fluke.
Ok, fine! I accidently posted this message twice. Boy, you guys saw right through that one!

Whatever... Par doesn't have any power on this board. He just created it.
If par is so powerful, erase this post... Come on Par... do it!
I dare you..

Owning refers to the power of possesing this board for whatever purpose you deem fit. However as Paras has demonstrated many times he has the all supreme power to control this board, he can delete post, edit post, even deny access to anyone that he chooses. Don't imagine that your long series of post entitiles you to claim you "own" this board. Far from it, you are merely a pawn for amusement just as the rest of us are. Have a nice day :)
