  1. Until somebody jumps a queue... We are all engines of karma
  2. This brings to mind an opinion article in the WSJ by a leading Senate Democrat within the last 6 months. In the article, his conclusion was "Let us make your decisions simpler!". I was stunned. It's seems like that is happening to me alot these days. We are all engines of karma
  3. And, imo, the neo-cons have made an absolute mess of things. Personally, I was a bit stunned and appalled when I started reading about Leo Strauss. What's moderate conservative to do these days? We are all engines of karma
  4. Personally, I think if it grows out of the ground and is consumed in that form, then can God really be wrong? Stuff like powdered cocaine (...have you ever seen how that stuff is made?) shouldn't be considered legal. We are all engines of karma
  5. Probably military coup, but I'm not voting for that. To this day, I expect Curtis LeMay to have at least known about the impending death of JFK. LeMay wanted the Russians bad, and JFK was just getting in the way. We are all engines of karma
  6. Clicky.. http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-158188 Good read, thanks for posting that. Any idea when it's dated? We are all engines of karma
  7. It's not explainable. Didn't you know Uncle O can walk on water, if he really wanted to? We are all engines of karma
  8. Any idea what to google to read more about this without getting inundated with crap? We are all engines of karma
  9. Did you read this one: DPRK's Efforts to Solve Food Problem http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2009/200902/news26/20090226-13ee.html I have never seen them mention this topic. They're starving, and know it. This may get serious. In the meantime, let's learn something today with this one: Immortal Feats in Modeling Whole Society on Juche Idea http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2009/200902/news26/20090226-15ee.html We are all engines of karma
  10. Here's the headlines from North Korea's newspaper: http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm I check this website every now and then. Simply can't make this stuff up. Most of the time it makes me laugh. Other times, it really gives me pause. These people are insane. We are all engines of karma
  11. MTV generation, and related media? We are all engines of karma
  12. I continue to be amazed at how seemingly rationale people at the highest level of our government cannot even agree on what's being measured, much less whatever is being measured is supposed to mean. If you can't measure it, you can't control it. Example from the Stiglitz article: Well, which one is it? Does anyone even know? Or, are these strictly political decisions? BTW - the Stiglitz article was very good, and pretty much spot on. He doesn't seem to realize that we already have "financial product safety commission" that's typically referred to as the rating's agencies (Moody's, etc.), but that could be my misreading. Thanks for posting it. Seems like no one can or wants to answer "What does it mean to be American?". Too many people view that question with disgust, or even flinch these days.

  13. MTV generation in action, IMO. We are all engines of karma
  14. The world is going to get pretty interesting, soon. We are all engines of karma
  15. That was good We are all engines of karma
  16. Somewhere in this thread, I seem to have lost thread topic. Didn't realize you were discussing military weapons while other folks were discussing deer hunting. My bad... We are all engines of karma
  17. Just the other day, the New York Daily News ran a big article on gun "collection" activities being pursued in the city. There was a liberal city politician proudly holding up a rifle with a sniper scope on it. The headline read "...as he proudly holds a shotgun". They can't even get basic definitions right. Expecting more of these people probably won't work very well. We are all engines of karma
  18. I'm not trying to get pedantic here, but for a guy who is always careful with his language, I'm not sure you meant to say that, exactly. We are all engines of karma
  19. Figured it out Yes, I can see why you would prefer these. How effective are they as organizations? We are all engines of karma
  20. While I haven't considered myself Republican for quite some time now (been a registered independent for years), the Democrats are going to make a mess of this. The only people who will be voting for them are those folks getting the hand outs, which unfortunately may be more than 50% of the country. We are all engines of karma
  21. While I've been an advocate of the NRA for a long time, I never actually joined. Felt there really wasn't a need on my part. Well, that changed last night. Can't wait to get my hat. We are all engines of karma
  22. While I've been an NRA advocate for years, I literally just joined. Time to step up here with these Obamanics. We are all engines of karma
  23. The thing that leaps out at me these days is: What is being measured? No one seems to be able to agree on that. Doesn't bode well for solutions that work. We are all engines of karma
