No offense Tie but your idea of "Getting the Big Picture" only applies to one side of your narrow blinders to the other side of those same blinders! I'd bet until today and if you read another post of mine elsewhere, you didn't even know that military-industrial complex powerhouse General Electric's head dog in Gerard Swope was also the mastermind behind the socialist (in reality fascist) National Recovery Adminstration and advised the early infamous Social Security Act.
