  1. Interesting, but academically incorrect. Capitalism works by exploiting labor. Incidentally, the theory behind Marxism is fromeach, according to their ability, to each, according to their need. It is basic economic theory. Whether one supports capitalism, or socialism, or a combination thereof, does not change what those concepts are. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  2. I used to jump at a DZ that had posted, "The altitude you fart at is the altitude you jump at." Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  3. Capitalism works on the premise that one can obtain labor at a lower cost than its actual value, ie the exploitation of workers. Yes, I feel that that is more responsible for moral decay than not attending Sunday school. It shows a lack of respect to fellow man, which is the very moral decay we are speaking of.

  4. As you know, welfare has multiple meanings. The one we tend to think of first is the check that the government gives to qualifying recipients. While this is welfare, any law that insures the health, happiness and prosperity of the nation would also be considered contributing the the general welfare of the population. This means, that if Congress felt the need, thecould implement Socialism, and still be within their Constitutional authority. The Executive branch, with consent of Congress, is allowed to establish departments of governmen, to help implement the requirements of the Constitution. The Federal Reserve is one such department. As far as gun control goes, while the Constitution does not grant unregulated freedom to keep and bear arms, I do feel that there are some people that have gone a bit too far to protect us from ourselves. All this, except the topic of Gun control, is covered in the Constitution excerpts that I posted. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  7. They were phasing the SAW in when I got out. I like the idea of single ammo size. Never got to shoot one, though. Burned up a lot of ammo on the M60. The fifty-cal-- now there's a fun weapon to shoot. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  8. First, the Salem witch trials pre date the Constitution by about 100 years. I find it very difficult to believe that "the void of morality or moral guidance" has anything to do with all the scandals in todays world. The root cause of that is, by and large, Capitalism, with notable exceptions, such as the pedophilic scandals of the Catholic Church. I agree that our society discourages free thinking, but it has been my experience that many churches also do that, so, it is likely that the seperation of church and state actually keeps the problem from being worse than it is.

  9. Still sounds like he was not given a trial by a military tribunal. The summary execution would have been legal only after such a preceding. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  10. So, Ron, are you saying that we had troops guarding the expolsives, and they were overwhelmed, and unable to defend their post? I didn't hear anything about that. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  12. Colt Frearms. Weren't they the company that was saved from bankruptcy by the Viet Nam War? "M -16 A2 rifle, 5.56 Millimeter hand-held, gas operated, semi-automatic or burst fire weapon, DRILL SERGEANT!!!" Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  13. It's not as though this is not a matter of public record. I don't know how much more clearly it could be stated. And, considering Adams signed the Constitution, it is safe to say he was qualified to make the statement. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  14. True, not all denominations of Christianity take Communion (from the same root origin as communism, BTW), however, it was offered at the Church Washington attended with his family, but he consistantly refused it. I have nothing against Christianity; I was raised a Christian. I do, hawever, take offense at our nation's history being perverted so as to make Christian zealots out of men who were, in actuality, not Christians. This country was not founded upon Christian (or any other religion's) values. It was founded on the principle of liberty. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  15. "[from] Article 1 Section 8[:] The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; To borrow Money on the credit of the United States; To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes; . . .

  16. C'mon. Shrub flip-flops more than even John Kerry did. He can't be telling the truth every time. For example, what is our mission in Iraq? You know, the one the White House has been giving consistently since Sep. 11 2002? Contradiction of statements is proof of lying, generally speaking. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  17. Where are the WMD. They have not been found. Are you denying that? His lips moved. No, the fault lies with Shrub, Rummy, Wolfowitz, etc. for piss poor planning. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  19. I know your not going to bring up Miami and terrrorism. Too late. Have you heard of Orlando Bosch? He fires a bazooka at a Polish freighter in the Port of Miami. To say nothing of his involvement in the explosian of a Cuban airliner, killing all 73 on board. So, what does Bush the elder do? At the urging of his son Pumpkinhead (Jeb Bush for those not privy to local Florida politics), G.H.W. Bush pardoned Bosch. Later, Pumpkinhead appointed his attorney to the Florida Supreme Court. Too bad Bosch isn't the only terrorist who has found sanctuary in Florida. Kinly show us that evidence, Ron? You keep mentioning it, but never present it. The same could be, and is being, said of you. A bit like the pot calling the kettle black, don't you think? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  21. According to written evidence from the FF, they were not Christaian. You will notice that your DoI excerpt made no reference to Christ. Many non-Christians recognize a Creator, it is not an exclusively Christian term. I have yet to attack Christianity on this forum. Nor am I going to sit back while grossly unfounded claims are made by Christians for no other reason than to try and make their religion seem more important than all the others in this country.

  25. This is all allowed under the Constitution Article 1 Section 8 and Article 2 Section 2. Makes me wonder how much other stuff he says is hollow rhetoric, although, admittedly, I do agree with some of it. Other parts, like the idea we pay high taxes, are funny, at best. (Our taxes are very low in this country.) Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
