[quote]Obviously your schooling has failed in many areas, we already have several fission plants in this country. Fusion on the other hand, is still in the development phase.[/quote] Yeah that's what I meant. Your mom and dad's video game purchases for you must have been wise ones. Thanks, now go look up communism and capitalism, since I'm still waiting for you to explain why you believe they are the same.

Shaving a quarter of that population off to account for non-diehard "if I just pray enough anything I need will come to me and I won't suffer" whackjobs who might actually approve of scientific advances that allow us to ensure the survival of the human race by settling a viable (IE more than two people) population on

The Day the Earth Stood Still (original) is one of my favorites. I believe she will also be remembered for "The Homecoming", a movie which was the precursor to the TV show "The Walton's". At least Hollywood stars (as do most famous persons) shine on after they depart, through film and digitally. They will live on longer than most of us. It would be interesting to see if any of this matters at all in a thousand years from now, will any of it still be relevant to anyone other than histo
[quote]Technically, he is correct - at least constitutionally and the intent of the founders. In reality? You are closer to correct. But that is just the perversion of the Constitution by the Federal Government.[/quote] Reality is a funny thing. I personally can't equate a state capable of only administering most of it's internal affairs and none externally, with the rest of the world, as a nation. But I did acknowledge Doombringer's right to that view, even if I believe it evapo

DG I do agree with Smoothseas, the rig was drilling an exploratory well (not to be confused with exploring for oil, which I believe is the base of the disagreement here). This well was to be capped for later use.

History is a powerful thing. Well, nobody can say your handle doesn't fit your ideology! Best of luck with your new world order hope your leader is a benevolent one (they rarely are).
[quote]They get chump change in Mexico, but major bucks from America. And if that is their justification/reasoning, they are going to make a colossal mistake.[/quote] Agreed, but then there are the folks up and down the food chain, that get the bribes and kick-backs. Might not be the amount of money the cartels get, but probably not bad for Mexican living standards. I'm not entirely convinced Calderon (or Fox for that matter) are completely clean behind closed doors. They woul
I still would not believe Calderon would do it at Fox's request or recommendation, there would have to be something more in line with Calderon's ideology driving it. Not like he has much control over the issue one way or the other.
[quote]Look at his plans.....All the recent presidents governed in the center. Its that damn legacy thing you know.....[/quote] I believe you'd find many on the left that would disagree that GWB governed from the center, including the current president. Most of them are still campaigning against Bush and his policies (while continuing to use many of them), who hasn't run for an office since 2004. Bill Clinton, who did govern from the center after 1994, did not experience this phenomen
[quote who="Smoothseas" reply="11" id="2709027"] Fox who? Vincente [/quote] Thought so, thanks for the clarification. But I do ask you this, why would Calderon listen to anything Fox suggested? Wouldn't that be paramount to Obama asking GW Bush his opinion? In fact I'm more inclined to believe Obama and Calderon would listen to each other's advice over their predecessor's any day of the week.
[quote]what Obama wants is a lot closer to the right.[/quote] What makes you believe that? When Obama was a senator, his voting record was one of the most liberal. Unless you think his staff is running the show while, IMO one of the most inexperienced presidents in US history, continues to concentrate on the campaign trail. That I would agree on.

[quote]So how many jobs do you know of where you can fill out an application with no phone number on it and even hope to get an interview?[/quote] The same in many areas with no public transportation. Do you suggest the government spring for cars, too? You know they will have to be "green". $41,000.00 Chevy Volts for all welfare recipents... and why stop there? I just want to know who buys the phone for the people not on welfare, that don't have a job?
I'm not suggesting you go with the status quo. One can always write in a candidate, won't go anywhere, but at least your dissent is noted (even if some small, obscure footnote in some record book) as opposed to not voting at all. Don't quote me, but I believe of the eligible voters only about 40% vote. Imagine if the other 60% voted for someone else. The chance of them voting for the same candidate is too slim to comprehend, but at least these "low count" winners will stop preaching that they
Insightful, but how expensive is wearing egg on one's face for posting this article in the political section?
Three hundred million can voice their displeasure as long as one will vote (settle). I commend your integrity DG, but the only thing a person gets for taking a pass is bragging rights that you didn't vote for the current idiot in office. You still are subject to the same cockamamie bills and laws these people dream up. Do you believe all the Obama supporters did their homework on him? Any digging just got the digger labeled as a racist. We can only do our research and make a choice. I will vo
[quote]PS-Show me a Kennedy like Democrat today if you can, otherwise your reference to past greats is meaningless. If Kennedy were alive today, I guarantee he would not be a Democrat.[/quote] I agree with you, but twcrash hasn't posted in over two years, so I don't believe you'll get a response. In fact of the people in the original comments only yourself and DG remain.
[quote]Republican (conservative) and Democrat (liberal) are the only options.[/quote] I have to disagree here. There are Republicans that are far from conservative, and some Democrats that are not liberal. Both parties seem to be infected with progressives, IMO. Of course there are other parties, but until they can produce candidates that appeal to a wide audience, in a number of states, winning a sizable number of seat in congress, they are going to remain in the peripheral
