By the votes of the non-thinking men and women.

This is unfortunately very true and will be the ultimate cause of mankinds stagnant or retrograde development over time. If you have not seen it you should watch the movie Idiocracy. While a complete satire on human society it has some great parallels to the real world.

Being poor is a culture and mindset that spans all races in some shape or form. I'm a white male (basically the most discriminated against type of person in the US thanks to our lovely government). I have lived in poverty in the ghetto with a family. I have been the "working poor"...

This is an interesting thread. It really displays the difference in thought that pervade our society. On one side we have individuals who advocate personal choice and personal freedom as sacrosanct. On the other we have a group that advocates the group determining choice and freedoms...

I do not cut and paste from Wikis. I do know what a euphimism is. Who tags Uranium as a fossil fuel? Did you know that not all forms of nuclear energy come from Uranium?

Nuclear is not figuratively a fossil fuel. Fission is not exactly green power, no argument there. Fusion is about as green as they come. Green power and renewable power are not the same thing. One can be green without being renewable (nuclear fusion for example). On a long enough time...

Just to help you out a little. Oil, which powers the world via gas, diesel, fuel oil, kerosene, and many other types of fuel is called a fossil fuel because it is the decomposition of organic matter. Coal and natural gas fall into the same category. These are all complex molecules that...

Politics and Economics mix as well as Politics and Religion. All three should be separated and independent of one another. Until politics gets their nose out of Economics and vice versus nothing will ever change.

Money is a big issues especially when the government wastes my money. Even worse is that I have no say in how it is spent. Worst of all is that they spend and waste my money on programs and organizations that reduce my personal freedom, trample the US Constitution, and destroy principles of...

Texas still has a wild west anything goes persona. In some parts that is real in some it is perceived. Some people like that others don't Some people like the idea of being seen as independent and a non conformist others and others abhor it. Texas has a lot to offer if being...

Since when does the US Constitution apply to non US citizens? If you want to make the argument that we violated international law then that is fine. Do not make the argument that our Constitution applies to all citizens of the world.

I mostly agree with you on this however there is not a replacement to oil so what do you do?

The Boston tea party was about taxation without representation. I would propose that we are at or near that point today. Today the people that actually pay taxes are the minority out of the population eligible to vote. What this means is that those that fund the union do not have...

I am not real sure what ones going to college has to do with their intelligence or ability to reason.

This post is closer to the truth than most our nation would want to admit. That 53k starting salary is for east/west coast engineer. In the south.mid-west that figure is closer 45k or less. The only way to make 100k is to whore yourself out every couple of years to find the highest bidder and...

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 1.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.15

Maybe if I have some spare time this weekend I will provide you with a dumbed down explanation.

Why am I not surprised and yes, my statement has everything to do with your observation. The far right can claim above average just as much as the far left. Neither should be influencing national policy.

You don't become and stay number one by following or joining the crowd. The only thing you get from joining the crowd is average. It's not just the far right that have a strong dislike for Obamas actions.

I think you took this a little to strongly. No where did I mention or imply killing oneself. If you are perfectly happy being average or below average that is great. Where this attitude starts to cause problems is when the average decide they want the things that the above average...
