I understand the reason why handguns are illegal, but the outcome has been that we have a system in which only criminals carry handguns. Is this sensible?

Whether Liberal/Democrat or Conservative/Republican it seems that they all agree that government can tell you how to live.

All they differ about is the details.

Democrats will tell you how to run your business and what charity to support. They order you to stop smoking cigarettes, drive a smaller car, and love the United Nations.

Republicans want to tell you who you can love and marry, regulate your reproductive life, and love big business. They order you to discard the last century or so of science and believe some fable about creation, salute when the flag goes by and always remember policemen are your friends.

Both groups then insist on plundering your bank account to pay for their projects.

Moreover, people seem to believe this is the natural order or things.

Is there anyone left who believes that men are born free and have the right to live as they choose so long as their actions do not directly and maliciously affect others?

Wouldn't effort be more wisely spent trying to undermine possible future candidates?

I am going to join the military. Just not sure which branch yet. I want to travel a lot and have opportunities to continue my college education while serving. I already have a bachelors degree in business and am 23 years old. Which branch offers the best benefits? Which branch should I join? I want to go into either finance, aviation or military intelligence.

SPREAD THE WERD! This movie is very well researched... and edited. But is also very eye opening to conspiracy theory, about the event before and surrounding 911.

Statistically speaking former U.S. Senators that run for president have very little chance of becoming president. Kerry, Gore, Mondale,Dole, McGovern, Humphrey, Goldwater, and the list goes on and on. The last U.S. Senator to become a U.S. President was JFK in 1960. It was basically a fluke and the trend continues way back in history. Is the democrat leadership just inept or do they not want to win?

Here is what I think might just do the trick:

How: Put it to popular vote with the results being binding in all states.

The Catch: Allow only women to vote on this issue.

The Reason: Only women own their own bodies. Only women should decide what to do with their bodies. Men really shouldn't be making and passing these laws.

(I really don't think the marjority of women would be willing to give up the option. There are too many laws on the books now that restrict their rights as it is.)

Your thoughts?

So the question is simple.
Why does Bush concentrate on Iran and itch for an attack on Iran when North Korea is a heck of a lot more dangerous????

First off, a quick analysis. :)

Iran says, our Nuclear Program is for Generating Electricity and is Completely Peaceful!!!
Bush says: No, you're lying. You want Nuclear Weapons!!!
You are the most Dangerous Country in the World!!!

North Korea says, Hey Bush!! We HAVE Nuclear Weapons and are building More!!
Bush says: NO You are Lying!! You don't have Any and Dont You DARE Test any Nuclear Weapons to Prove you have them!!!

North Korea says, Hey Bush!!! We Already Have Missiles that Can Hit the USA!!!
Bush says: No you Don't!!!! Stop lying and teasing us. Dont you DARE test fire a Missile to prove you have them.

North Korea just Warned the USA that it would Nuke America if it felt Threatened!

Get the picture???? Who's more dangerous in your eyes people???

I don't consider myself a racist by any means, but it just bugs me that a black person can do no wrong in his eyes. To me that is the definition of racism.
