Oddly enough, the National Debt increased every year of Clinton's terms of office. Strange that he could manage a "balanced budget" while the National Debt increased, isn't it?

Sadly, its primarily Aircraft Carriers that are aflicted with this cursed disease. If I ever come to power, the Navy will not get a dime until it renames the Reagan, Bush, Vinson, and Ford as Yorktown, Lexington, Saratoga and Hornet, the next one after that had better damned well be named Enterprise!

they have made no effors to try to weed out the illegal activity,
That's why they have the "report this post button" and if you click on the racy-sounding ads that are the most recent you get a message that says it's been disabled and is being deleted. They're doing something about the ones that are blatant. Craigslist isn't a vigilante, they aren't tasked with suppressing freedom of speech because it might refer to illegal activity. Do you want to bust them because someone posts that they are 420 friendly? Has that number been declared illegal and discussion of it no longer protected?
The south is especialy culpable because 50 years before during the War of 1812, when the New England states tried to open negotitations with the national government on seceding, the south was foremost in calling it treason. 50 years later they decided treason was perfectly fine.
Because if it succeeds, then none dare call it treason!
