Our Father, Who Art in Washington.. in Politics JoeUser Forums

this is a totally subjective opinion and may or may not be correct: all things being equal, more voters will choose a republican over a democrat when voting in an election to fill an executive office. this is a conclusion based on solely on personal observation but i think its accurate: successful republican candidates for executive positions like us presi

its also possible (altho probably not likely if it worked previously) your display card settings are off because gateway model numbers (like vx700 for example) arent exclusive to a single product from one manufacturer. some vx700s (the good ones) were made by mitsubishi and others (the ones that seem to have a lot of problems) were made by nec. within those two groups, there are several slighly different versions of each type--i believe there were fo

Reply to pack a lunch- don't worry too much about fuel prices in Current Events JoeUser Forums

offering a tax break that encourages businesses to acquire and operate the highest priced suvs (typically the heaviest and least fuel efficient of that whole class of ostentatious gas-guzzlers) might prompt one to wonder about the administrations commitment to energy conservation and/or the environment.

Can you imagine Bush doing ANY of that? maybe not but hows this? i can envision ol george wearing a seal team wetsuit (complete with fins) roaring up to a dock at the controls of a cigarette racer before disembarking to make a triumphant speech under a big banner emblazoned with the words "SUCCESS AT SEA"

i know exactly how this one goes because i had virtually the same thing happen. the circumstances differed significantly since the publisher was my new employer...a very strange man with a stranger sense of humor. fortunately i was working 16 hours a day for most of whats known as the onsale life of that issue. unfortunately my wife wasnt. one of the last calls was the most bizarre because it began at 515am and the guy sounded exactly like one of

fred neil wrote 'everybody's talking'--the song that nillson covered when used as a theme for 'midnight cowboy'.--among other songs. played 12 string, incredible deep voice (unusual for a folkie in the 60s). used to be listed as an essential influence by just about everyone worth listening to but not ever widely known. i included him on my list of cocaine singers and youd said you liked em all so i was curious. if youd like, ill hook ya up with an mp3

The only way to move toward a sustainable global peace is to move the fight to the negotiation table. i was probably unclear in my analogy. thats exactly the point i was trying to make. terrorism/freedom fighting isnt necessary when there are channels through which injustices (perceived or actual) may be addressed. when no means is available to resolve an issue, eventually the proponents or opponents affected by the issue will fin

in the immediate aftermath of sharon playing the temple card--a terrorist act not unlike those he perpetrated in lebanon--israeli settlers launched an assault on olive groves belonging to palistinian residents. thousands of trees that had provided sustinence and income for the families to whom theyd belonged for generations were destroyed. that was a concerted act of economic and environmental terrorism analagous to the destruction of the buffalo on

even if the responses were exactly as characterized, i cant see how that justifies the 'holocaust mentality' conclusion. american citizenship isnt an arbitrary condition (although that could change by 2008 if our current attorney general is permitted to void the bill of rights even though revoking the constitution entirely only decodifies the governments acknowledgment of rights intrinsic to human beings and as such exist outside the scope of anyones c

the only thing different is perspective. thatcher had an agenda that didnt permit her to see or, more likely, acknowledge south africa's blatant racism. she wasnt alone in that selective blindness and feigned ignorance, of course. for far too long, most of the so-called first world's leaders chose--and continue to do so in other instances--the obvious lie over the equally obvious truth. despite all the thousands of proofs offered to the c
