as i continue to read these mdc, frist let me say- thanks for your time. and i knew about most of these and i have never been surprised by any of these people/companies.
there are reasonsas to why you have been doing all this revealing.
i just shake my head and say, Well Lord, those that put their trust in temporal things have nothing permanent with You.
thanks again, mdc...keep doing!
WTM,
This is a learning process for me. I knew these companies were big but I had no idea how big and diversified.
i know, it is MUCH to take in. that greed could grow so quickly and so strongly.
but, it is evident throughout hsitory with other men and gov.
and you know what is said, unless the people learn from it-they are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past!
And once again MDC puts the corporate soup bowl on display.
