I was rather disappointed he did not run for the vacant Senator position. He's the closest thing we've had to a traditional Republican: budget surplus, decreased government size, repaying of debts. Using today's standards, we're just lucky if our governor doesn't end up behind bars.

Who also happens to be the last decent Governor of Illinois.

As a practical person, I prefer my car to be efficient in its abilities to get me to places I want to go, and its ability to not be a burden on my wallet. Ill trade 'interesting' for that any day.

The problem is when you feed starving people, they tend to make lots more starving babies.

Patents like this are anti-capitalist. 'A learning management system that allows a single user login to have multiple roles'. Great invention. Slap a patent on it, gotta protect that ambition to invent!

You do not have faith in God, that is what makes you an atheist. But you have faith in that very belief, that there is no God.

I have no faith in either answer.

I'm not sure what you don't get. I believe there *may* be a 'god'. I also believe there *may not* be a 'god'. Sometimes the answer, "I don't know", is the most rational. Until I see proof that god exists/doesn't exist, I will remain rational, and say "I don't know". If that takes forever, so be it.

Who knows, maybe Jesus descends from Heaven on a walkway of light, or the skies rip apart and show us Marduk battling Tiamat. Lacking the ability to define or know god *now* doesn't prove we will always lack that ability. Maybe we will find out when you die. Maybe we won't. I don't know.
