And that, is a bunch of bull. I am a Libertarian and, in my experience, the Libertarian point of view is more along the lines of "It's my (and your) personal decision on whether or not to share". *Enforced* sharing, under threat of duress, punishment, fines, jail sentences, etc. *is not* sharing. Taxes for things that pay for things or services that a particular individual never uses falls into the category of *enforced* sharing. Get the government out of things it not constitutionally mandated to do, cut the size of government, put more money in people's pockets (as a result) and let them decide where and how they want that money spent. The U.S. Federal government, in particular, is and has done a piss poor job spending your and my money. Oh, and our kid's and grand kid's money too.

So, they are just like Democrats. I already knew this.

-- it doesn't help the kids at all, the drugs are not a solution. There are many other non-drug related rememdies -- but -- they don't put money into drug company and drug company lobbyists pockets.

-- Best Buy comes out with cars with a new "Creep Squad" logo. Which is countered by the former "God Squad" people now sporting a new logo "Freep Squad". Mpegs @ 11.

-- is that they know Larry would beat them (figuratively, of course) like borrowed red-headed six-fingered step-children.

Wow! Careful what you do with that "blinding truth" thing, some people just won't see it.

Uh, no. The U.S. Constitution does not protect us from "Dickhead Politicians", not even close. The "Dickhead Politicians" swear a solemn oath to "support and defend" (Senators and Representatives) and to "preserve, protect and defend" (President) the Constitution. The Constitution is just words written down, it does nothing. What *does* protect us from "Dickhead Politicians" should be the other branches of government, which in the case of the Supreme Court sometimes occurs. The only other protection we "the people" have is demanding that the "Dickhead Politicians" stop violating their oaths of office and that they stop creating laws that create problems or make existing problems even worse. The economic disaster this country is experiencing was caused by these "Dickhead Politicians", either by laws that created or made existing problems worse OR through neglect (not doing a damn thing to correct existing problems at all). And now, these same "Dickhead Politicians" that created or exacerbated the problem(s) by direct action, or inaction, are telling the U.S. tax payer that WE (not them) have to pay more collectively in taxes to clean up THEIR mess. This is injustice on a massive scale and why more responsible representatives and senators are just going along with it, makes no sense at all.

Some people have way, Way, WAY too much time on their hands.

There is no difference, the fact that Dems or Rebs win power in national elections, has proven to be worse for the U.S. as a whole, no matter which is in power. It has been this way for years now.

Guess you missed that President Hope & Change has received the most money from... BP and it's employees than another other politician. Obama has corporations hands in his own pockets as much, or more so, than any other President.

I could go on, but there is no need to.

Uh, huh.

And, can you say "obvious", I knew you could.

Wouldn't it be a better idea for people to walk those short distances, given how fat people are these days?

It's all relative. For a fat person, a "short distance" for a walk might be from the couch to the fridge to get another ice cream sandwich and back to the couch. Whereas, for a non-fat (or low fat) person, a "short distance" for a walk might be walking five blocks to local restaurant to get a hand made malt or milk shake.

Yes, we have modified our food.

But, until GMO-sis, to coin a term, we haven't taken "X" gene from a completely unrelated species and put it in "Y" plant.

... is a cost cutting measure. Very few people, in their right minds, would post on the forums when forced to reveal their real first and last names. As a result, less server overhead, maintenance, admin time, etc. As a result, this will make the forums more efficient and give moderators and admins more time to respond to their actively posting customers.... No, really.
