    First time I've ever cracked up laughing in the voting booth...

    You're missing the point. By the time we abolish all taxes, disband the army and the police, who will be there to protect us? I will need my machine guns to protect my family from my neighbor's machine guns. It doesn't matter whether others will use their assault rifles for good or for bad. I...

    When should we leave Iraq?

    Has this been hammered into your head yet: "Cut losses quickly, let profits run." Bush needs some trading lessons.

    To those itching to get rid of Dept. of Energy

    Here is an example of what Dept. of Energy does: http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/local_news/article/0,1406,KNS_347_5121443,00.html Of course, to those anti-science right wing religious fanatics, they'd rather ban all scientific research, and return us to the medieval times. Shutting down...

    Republican Revolution Over?

    When they're slow, they're really slow. A school teacher asks a student "what is 2+2?" Do you suppose the teacher doesn't know the answer?

    Republican Revolution Over?

    Really? Did you vote for them? How many times? Why did you vote for two sleazy bagmen twice? Does that say something about yourself?

    Republican Revolution Over?

    Do you have any idea what the Dept of Energy does? Sure, it's easy to talk about cutting something that you know nothing about. In addition to running all of the big weapon's labs (Livermore, Los Alamos, Sandia), DOE also runs most of the national labs conducting research on military as well...

    Republican Revolution Over?

    Two years is a short time for Replubican party to rebuild. I can imagine "big government conservatives" being targets for attack in 2008 and for many years afterwards. How long after LBJ did people continue to buy the attack "tax and spending liberals?" You can claim to be a "small government...

    How did Harold Ford Jr. lose?

    Gore lost TN by 10 points in 2000. Ford Jr. lost by 3. That's a big improvement. Change comes slowly. I think Corker is much better than Bush.

    One day Mr. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at his church. "Reverend," he said, "I have a problem. My wife keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?" "I have an idea," said the minister. "Take this pin with you. I'll be able to tell when...

    zero sum game?????????????

    For every MSFT or BRKA, I can give you same number of stocks that went south in the past 10 or 20 years. How about ENE? Or UAL (what was its symbol before chapter 11)? There are far more people who pick and "invest" in stocks that do didilly squat, than those who pick MSFT. (Otherwise...

    zero sum game?????????????

    I'm surprised that this thread is still alive. Inventions do two things: it raises standard of living by lowering costs of making goods, and it gives the inventors/original investors a chance to hit it big. But, once the company goes public, from the point of its IPO to the point of its...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    I'm too lazy to type a long post here but really a short post won't do justice. But I'll give it a try. You look at how our universe has evolved to today's shape, and wonder, "wow, that's remarkable. There is no way all of this could have happened without a really clever design." But you're...
