A duel at twenty paces...? ... Oh. You said debate.
...Yeah, I can do a debate.

Someone can set up the thread and I'll trot on over there whenever it's my turn.

theVoid:

I don't have time to draw up a response at the moment but it'll be something I can do later today, though we move this to a more formal debate where we can reorganize our arguements, then I'll just move the discussion there.

I do want to say that the broken link you found isn't broken here, so I'm guessing that it's a aussie-US server thing that you can't reach. I honestly looked and looked hard to find that paper elsewhere, but I couldn't find one that didn't lead me back to that link (which charges you to download the paper.)

What it is is an internal Citigroup paper that basically explains that they want to remake the US into a plutonomy, but the only point stopping that would be the right of every American of an equal vote. It was leaked back in 2005. You might be able to find it on a google search at home like I did. Otherwise, I might try to find another link because I'm interested in getting a copy on PDF anyway (for free, because I'm not a sucker.)

EDIT: Well, maybe not later today, as it turns out, but perhaps tomorrow.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
