Make shareholders liable for the actions of the companies in which the hold stock.

Save the environment, kill yourself.

So what you're saying is that hope and change have quickly become hype and chicanery.

Yeah, sure. The government is already picking up the tab for well over 40% of all health care costs.

Inevitably we will end up with a more fascist system that we have now if/when this bill is pushed through.

It's just one more step on the way to total insolvency and hyperinflation IMHO.

The best commentary I have read on this issue is this: âoeEvery choice (whether to have private or socialized medicine) leads to other choices. So if what the media tells us is true, that âmost people favor socialized medicine,â(TM) then what theyâ(TM)re really saying is most people would rather be dead than bankrupt."

And none of the rat bastards will have read it before voting on it.

The CIA is questionable. The Pentagon's budget is too big. Fine add that to my argument.

I don't have the time to argue with you about the rest of what your saying. You need to think about root causes.

If this is what you really believe then I would urge you to support a limited federal government in all matters.

The issue is this: If you give them the power to regulate X, they invariably regulate Y and Z. On the other hand if you do not want Z to be regulated then you may have to settle for X and Y going unregulated as well. It's not to say your state government could not be more proactive. Invariably power over one object extends to power over other objects until power over all things is obtained. Just consider the velocity US policy in the 20th century.

So, if you do not want your morals controlled you may have to give up federal control of say education and healthcare. Let the states handle it. There is something to be said about 50 competing solutions. Eventually someone will get it right. On the other hand if we have a single solution and get it wrong... It really makes for a mess. I believe any inefficiencies are made up for by the robustness of a decentralized solution.

I would urge you to read the Constitution and see if those words justify: 1) Any of the bailout nonsense, including the take over of GM. 3) Marijuana prohibition. 4) A central bank. 5) Universal healthcare or indeed medicare or medicaid.

For what it's worth I agree whole heartedly with you about MJ. It can be harmful. Hell, you may eventually get lung cancer from smoking it someday, but (at least in my eyes) you own yourself and you are as free to make your own decisions as you are free to deal with their consequences.

Anyway, please think how control begets more control.

These rules are not being written by the legislative branch of government. What exactly is the US Sentencing Commission anyway? What are non-congressional bodies doing making laws? Congress is not empowered to delegate its power to write laws.

The government shouldn't pick winners and losers regardless of what the perception of the technology is. No government loans for Tesla. No government loans for GM. The Public Private Partnerships smack of fascism.

So don't do business with them.

You pay for electricity, what's so weird about paying for the bits you download?

Similar thing happened in Missouri recently. See : http://www.unitedliberty.org/articles/ron-paul-supporters-terrorists

The government is out of control... They should not be calling out places/groups/persons that express dissent. But this is what is happening. Hell it's been happening for decades, but that doesn't justify it... COINTELPRO?

If you don't mind me asking, what country do you live in? How does it measure up in terms of liberty and property rights?

You live in US? What state? I'm in Michigan.
