You didn't answer the question. Read it again, and tell me, in specific terms, why the general populace should vote on this issue, but not on the right to own slaves. You said that 'it doesn't affect your life', correct?

The 'tone' attribute was established by the OP, was it not?

I'm going to assume that we agree that 'the right to own slaves' is an issue that shouldn't be voted on by the general populace. What makes 'gay marriage' any different?

Yep. Watch the video I linked to - pay particular attention to the points made @ 2:28, 3:53 & 4:28. The subtitle of this video could easily be "Pat Buchanan Gets Pimp Slapped". Nope. I did however, show the insignificance of your point by placing in within a larger context. Well then...

Unlike you, I have no obsession with fags. The issue you've raised doesn't affect my life. Apparently, it affects yours a great deal. Why? You stated that you are 35 and married. P.S. I also have no obsession with 'stinky East Indian cabbies'. Same reason as stated above: they don't...

Looks like somebody got under your skin. Don't ever let them see you sweat.

Someone's brain has gone a little dysfunctional... Anyway, good luck with the teaching career. If you ever develop a love for mentoring, the rewards will be great.

This may or may not be true. I you don't mind, I'll tell you one thing I've noticed: TraderNik has an attribute that is in short supply around here. A functional brain. Now, back to previously scheduled programming...

I'm not seeing that. I see grandfathering for "services provided prior to January 1, 2009", which would make sense. Grandfathering 'existing funds' would make this provision utterly toothless. I am interested in learning exactly what "protection for deferral arrangements currently in...

The wrestler scores all the points on this one. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zUE9ETCLyNQ The important issue here is not gay marriage, but rather, 'what role should government play in our lives?'. This issue transcends 'limited interest' issues such as gay marriage. Think about it.

FV is a reference to 'Fair value'.

Following your argument, the most direct path to a level playing field would be the socialization of our health care system. Frankly, I'm surprised that you came up with the idea. :p

Dude, you're nuts. When volatility is up, you should downsize accordingly, to maintain your risk parameters. If you ratchet up your leverage, you MAY get lucky...

Looks like you're suggesting that we "tax the US consumer to prop up an unsustainable business model. Then again, a bailout will likely be of the form "tax the US consumer to prop up an unsustainable business model". I don't see where your idea is an improvement.

I'm assuming that you are referring to our president-elect, rather than the former leader of Iraq. Last I checked, he hadn't filled Cabinet positions. Perhaps you have some inside knowledge you'd like to share? :cool:

The market has gone pretty much straight down since his mid-day long call on Monday. He'll keep making bottom calls until he is right - then publicly declare his "genius".

Last time I heard of something called "The Master Key", it turned out to be...um... an unfulfilled promise. I suspect that THIS 'master key' is similar in that regard. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE4DF173EF930A35756C0A963958260

Jesse Ventura has expressed contempt for religious 'leaders' who seek to impose their religious views upon the American populace. He strongly believes in the concept of 'separation of church and state'. As such, he seeks to limit the 'right' of any religion to exert its influence upon the...

Well then, put your money where your keyboard is. Since it's a 'worthless' call, buy some GM tomorrow AM.

Hulbert disagrees. He ran the numbers. You eyeballed the charts. I'm sticking with Hulbert on this one. Leftist governments don't just emerge out of thin air. Perhaps your ideological viewpoint renders you unable to analyze the catalyst of this reaction objectively. Perhaps mine does as...
