Because faith and force have always been historical corollaries.

I also agree with you that it won't happen this year before the election unless, as one example where a military draft would come overnight, North Korea does something incredibly stupid. However, long term I see the reinstatement of the draft as quite possible, even likely, due to the...

Correct, it is not. As I wrote earlier, the "preservation of a free society isn't always free, that's true. Understanding that, however, is a matter of personal learning, not duty. Those who understand it will fight to live in freedom. Or else, knowing that we all die some day anyway, will...

Some of you with high speed connections will find this interesting. http://www.cryptome.org/eyeball.htm :cool: :cool: :cool:

Even better. Thanks. :)

Good point and why, because Libertarianism admits pretty much anyone into its party who is just "for freedom, man" (without understanding its underlying principles and responsibilities) I don't consider myself one. These are not selfish people by its classical definition; rather, they are...

Thank you. I never understood rap until today. Don't know who authored this but I'm grateful for the guide and now feel that I have a better grasp of this interesting culture. Realizing yet again that when someone tells me, "Once you go black you'll never go back," what they're actually...

Indeed he is. BTW, I reconsidered my ignoring your posts and took you off my list. The issue with Maverick seems to have lessons learned by everyone, posters and readers alike. It seems best left behind. And I do enjoy reading the essentials in your posts, usually just once :p but...

:) :) :)

The preservation of a free society isn't always free, that's true. Understanding that, however, is a matter of personal learning, not duty. Those who understand it will fight to live in freedom. Or else, knowing that we all die some day anyway, will die proudly striving to honor the values...

Yeah, I thought "Trader Vic" was Sperandeo, actually to my judgment a useful source of information. :confused:

Yeah, they look good. Baez still has that glow about her. And Turner always could and probably still can kick my teeth in. But I almost fell over when I saw Mary Travers recently. Ah well, if we're lucky to live that long I guess such fates await us all in one form or another. I have...

Me too, pal. :(

:D Funny how what was such a rip roaring Peter, Paul, and Mary peace song 40 years ago (yikes!) actually written I believe by Pete Seeger nearly 50 years ago (DOUBLE YIKES!), would be frowned upon in some of the same circles today because it doesn't include "our brothers and our brothers" and...

. . . all over this chat board. :p I bet he'd hammer out danger. And a warning. :eek: (Back to you db, to see if you're het, politically correct, or both.)

. . . you'd hammer in the morning? :D

While the argument set out here has many valid historical points, and I myself shake my head in dismay (sometimes in disgust) when I consider how some take our freedoms for granted, sadly the inherent premise is that the only solution is to force others to do what some want for "their own good"...

Well put.

Oh, is that why all of the Republican picks for judges have just sailed through the advise and consent process? Because the Republicans (and I'm not one) thoroughly control both houses of Congress? :eek: This latest slavery bill was introduced by a Democrat (Ernest Hollings, D-SC, and the...

Welcome back, Mav. Since I have the other side of the pendulum on ignore, I'm twice as happy to see your return. I wish you well in your new found discipline; I am certain it will transfer to better trading for you as well.
