IIn his book titled Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Perkins describes how as a highly paid professional, he helped the U.S. cheat poor countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars:

"Basically what we were trained to do and what our job is to do is to build up the American empire. To bring -- to create situations where as many resources as possible flow into this country, to our corporations, and our government, and in fact we’ve been very successful. We’ve built the largest empire in the history of the world. It's been done over the last 50 years since World War II with very little military might, actually. It's only in rare instances like Iraq where the military comes in as a last resort. This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life".

Well, he seems to hit back harder. But, it's not right. His dad gets drunk and starts fights over nothing. What do you guys reccomend I tell him?

I told him to get rid of the alcohol. He said he tried and his dad bought more.

I told him to call a pastor but they don't go to church.

I told him to call a psychologist or AA. That's the best I can think of.

He doesn't want to call the cops because he wants his family together and the dad helps to support the family too I believe.

After hearing a new word for the first time, it becomes much more noticable. It seems that the word is used everywhere and you wonder why you have never heard it (or at least think you haven't)before. There is a name for this. Does anyone know what this is called?
