*nods* Yes, MI-5 is the American title for Spooks. The word "spook" has a rather nasty connotation here, hence the renaming. Matthew Macfayden is quite yummy.
I am sincerely hoping that the political tides are beginning to turn here, for all our sakes. Problem is that the extremists on both sides are screaming over the rest of us.
The movie Syriana did a great job of delinating how the Western world uses the Second- and Third-World for their own financial gains and excesses.
Right now I volunteer with a group that helps working people find access to free health care and social services. It is practically impossible to make a "decent" living any more, where you have a job that pays enough to cover rent, food, and utilities, never mind health care. People this winter were leaving their ovens open to heat their homes in order to save money. And ExxonMobile just posted an $11bn profit. It's sick-making.
