Correction: It's Schmidt, not Smith.

When I was a kid, my parents were very poor, so poor that I often didn't have enough to eat. Once I left home for college, the situation back home got much better (probably I ate too much and that made them poor). One day when I returned to my dorm I saw my dad who had come to visit me. He...

I'm horrified - I agree 100% with you for once. I was going to post almost the exact same sentences. Actually, 99% - Patriot Act is definitely much worse! I think Civil Rights Act was a necessary evil - not good in legal sense but necessary given the society at the time (and now).

Lincoln Park is great if you don't have to worry about kids and school. For good schools you need to go anywhere north of Evanston along the lakeshore. I have no idea how much houses cost there now. I moved out more than 20 years ago. It depends on how much value you place on your kids'...

One of Reagan's strengths touted by the conservatives was his ability to get good people working for him. I seriously doubt that Reagan would hire Webb as Navy Secretary if Webb was a "60's liberal.' You don't tell very good lies.

You can go to Allen's website and see the press release. Allen took excerpts out of Webb's books that are sexually explicit, and attacked Webb for authoring such texts. What Allen failed to mention was that these descriptions were based on what Webb actually saw in southeast Asia, and were in...

Republican "family values:"

Here is a little story about Webb: Webb had returned from Vietnam and was in law school at the height of the antiwar movement. An antiwar professor who was in the habit of working his students' surnames into the hypothetical scenarios in his test questions created a scenario about someone...

I'm amazed at your deliberate ignorance. The whole point of inventing "enemy combatant" was to bypass the Geneva Convention. If there is no difference between soldier, terrorist, and combatant, then why all of suddern the need for this new law?

:confused: This concept of "enemy combatants" didn't exist "a mere generation ago." In fact, it didn't exist 6 years ago. AFAIK, captured foreign enemy soldiers were not shot on site. There was something called the Geneva Convention that expressly prohibited this. You missed the point...

It is random, we just don't know in what order. It is created, we just don't know by what. :D

We'll see whether anyone think it's a big deal on Nov. 7.

You completely missed the point of my posts. This is understandable because most people do not know how science works. The benefit of open-ended research is vitally important in the advance of science. No one, even great minds like Einstein, knows where the next breakthrough will come from...

I guessed that this must have been the case. But not a single Republican saw the need to show that they worked with Clinton while he was in the Whitehouse. In fact, they were damn proud that they impeached him. So what happened to the "conservative values?"
