Once again Rue, you miss the point.
These things are exaggerated, and have no bearing on right and wrong. You want your elected officials to be saints, not human. You think you're perfect? You'd be waterboarding those baddies, just like the rest of 'em. You'd be pumping out pollution, just like the big corporations. You'd be protecting your boys from 'war crimes', just like Bush. You wouldn't spend a dime you didn't absolutly have to on Katrina victims while the war is on the front burner.
Please Rue, try to see things from their perspective. It's a complicated world.
All you peaceniks don't care about money and the wealthy; you just want hope, and a common future for all mankind. Keep dreaming, pal. We make our future, and those who don't, don't have any anyway. Only the strong survive.
Excuse me. I have to do my push-ups now.
Just wanted to see what it was like being FULL OF CRAP Chrisisall

Antarctic Ice Sheet Losing Mass "
Just this last weekend I went hiking to a mountain lake I used to visit fifteen years ago...
The hills were a little steeper than I remember, ( likely me ) and I was surprised to see that the lake was half its old size and the glacier which once sat in the shade of a mountain and extended out into the the lake was no longer there.
Sad really

global warming - Much ado about that which isn't in our control. Really.
arsenic in drinking water - yet another one of the Clinton administrations planned " time bombs ". A last second policy change as he was headed out of office, leaving it up to W to deal w/ the mess. Bogus.
only private companies work - I think we saw the corruption and incompetenece in Gov't already.
war crimes? Now that's funny. Realy, it is.
Katrina - never before in US history has a story been turned upside down mores so than this b.s. State and local gov't bears a huge majority of the blame here. Folks living in N.O. have known for GENERATIONS that such an event might occur. Ignoring the threat for the Fed Gov't to come clean up is inexcusable.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I wasn't going to post on this thread because I figured it was feeding the other parties partisanness, but I had to interject.
Auraptor,
Don't you see that this statement (which I completely agree with) is also a non-partisan one, and that big govt is always corrupt and incompetent, and that private companies always do it better, ergo, the govt. of George W. Bush has to go (certainly not to be replace by hillary clinton) but as an institution of truly immense corrupt and incompetent big govt.
I think people get too caught up in rooting for their own team, deflecting partisan attacks of those across the aisle seeking power, to see that they've compromised their own ideals. If you destroy the thing you are fighting to protect then isn't it a pyrrhic victory?

Let me ask you a question, DT, since you're always bagging on government: If big governments are always corrupt and businesses are always better... what is THIS government corrupted by?

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.
