Sorry, but my own thoughts are that you have no business to tell any one what they do with their Sundays. If I wish to spend part of my weekend going to Church and/or taking my kids to Sunday School or something similar, that's fine. But, on the other hand, if I choose to worship in my own way, without the formality of an organized religion or church, and if I choose to allow my children to learn about religion in their own way, then that is

Reply #23 By: Deference - 8/17/2004 2:44:12 PM Deference - you are very well implying that the Swiftvets are lying. Have you researched their materials? Do you know for a fact that they are lying? If you don't, then again, you are doing the same thing you accuse them of and deny that MoveOn/

I very much hope these two statements are in error and not a sincere gambit to altercate the prominent truth. The fact is, indirectly, the GOP financed the SwiftVet group. The fact that they are out and out lying and / or misleading the public is the reason as to why people have called for condemnation from the Bush group. No mor

Reply #13 By: jdjefferson - 8/17/2004 11:33:15 AM Swift Boat Veterans have attacked Kerry for his actions, others that have served with him have commended him, and still others are debating the legitimacy of his medals and awards. Hundreds of people have come forward to characterize Kerry's service positively or negatively. W

The U.S. Olympic team -- specifically the Basketball team -- which is a prime example of the arrogance and laziness which we've bred into our spoiled rotten Athletes. While the rest of the world has worked hard to bring their level of competition up, our star hoops team finds that no one wants to play and compete, and those that do play can't be bothered to play a TEAM game, instead they keep playing their me-first, I'm a spoiled star game.<br

An interesting analysis of the last presidential election At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about "The Fall of The Athenian Republic" some 2,000 years prior.

Something that a local talk show host (Michael Graham, local to D.C., heard on AM radio), that bears some discussion, and in my mind, bears support: "WE DO NOT NEED MORE VOTERS" The host's point, and an important one, is that we don't need just a bunch of idiots all signed up to vote just because they are of legal voting age and are residents of the country. Before you go and say that it's everyone's right to vote (it is), y

There are serious flaws in our system, but it doesn't mean our system is on it's death bed. For most candidates, the answer is that yes, they win at all costs. Think about it, where else do people waste so much money to win a job that pays only a small percentage of what is available to a CEO in most companies?? The problem is that people want power. They want it so that they can use it. Perhaps for the good of some people, perhaps

Lets say 7 million people in New York voted. And lets say all of those votes went to kerry. Lets say that 1 person in each of the other 49 states voted and all of those states went for Bush. The outcome would be kerry 7 million and Bush 49 votes. Bush would win because he would get more electoral votes even though Kerry got more
