The one where George chooses to do the opposite of everything he'd normally do. We might have a pretty good president then, don't ya think?

Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.

Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoreman’s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation’s most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new “SENTRI” system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.

As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming “North American Union” that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.

but

Secretary of State Colin Powell was on the corporate board of America Online, now merged with Time-Warner, which owns CNN. A member of AOL/Time-Warner's board of directors, Carla Hills, also sits on the board of directors of Chevron. She was the first President Bush's trade representative. On the board of directors of Exxon-Mobil sits J. Richard Munro, former chairman and CEO of Time-Warner. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was on the board of the Tribune Company, owner of the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, and many other newspapers as well as TV stations.

1% demand in oil cause 30% profit for Exxon = $$$ for CNN

Hi all. I am from Iran and I would like you to know Iran: As you know Iran is a vast country and is mostly surrounded by Arab nations. Some people think Iranians are Arabs! But they are Persian in fact. Iran used to be governed with kings. Our last king sold out our country. When Iran had a king she could not develop because our betrayer king gave our oil to U.S for free! That is why U.S was good towards Iran before. So people abolished monarchy. Later Iraq invaded Iran and a severe war started that took 8 solid years. Of course U.S gave Iraq bio weapons so there are still people here suffering from horrible effects of bio weapons. Ayatollah Khomeyni made our country a democratic one. So people could choose their own president freely. At that time everywhere were ruins because of the war. Iranians are hard working people and they soon started to repair damaged cities. And now here is Iran. A great country for living. Iran became independent since she did not depend on U.S anymore. We developed in a very short time. And Iran began to produce productions that she needed. You see today even we export cars and many other high Tec electronic devices that are being designed and produced inside Iran. Iranian students are so intelligent as you see our greatest scientists are all young people under 25! Do you know why U.S is against Iran having nuclear technology? It is not because Iran is going to attack somewhere! These are all excuses to stop Iran’s unstoppable development. Because at that time Iran will be completely independent and this is exactly what U.S is afraid of. U.S wants all countries to bow her and be dependant on her. U.S uses every single word of our nice president to prove that Iran wants to attack U.S and Israel! If you study Iran’s long history you will see that she have never attacked other countries but she have defeated herself. In fact according to our religious teachings Moslems do not have the right to attack anyone. (So it is so ridiculous that some people call Moslems terrorists!!!) U.S says Iranians specially women are not free! Interesting! You would not believe me that Iranians are free much more than other nations! Thousands of strict rules in other nations even do not exist in Iran. Women? You say they are not free because they have to wear scarves! But you forget that it is a part of our culture and religion. In other nations Moslems do not have the right to wear scarves. In fact they are not free. Iran is a westernized country and western cultures conflict with ours that causes some problems: if you visit Iran you will notice that most of people wear beautiful formal cloths of every color. Because they think people in U.S do the same. But as far as I know usually people in U.S wear cloths (similar to underwear or jeans) and are very casual not formal. Iran is a very beautiful country with lots of historic places to visit. People are so warm and kind to each other. They are very hospitable. I advise you to visit Iran and get to know it yourselves not to believe what Bush says about it. If you have any other questions ask me. I will add it to details.

say for instance that I became a famous politican, celebrity, or say the general manager of a professional football team. Remember this is all hypothetical and I just threw out some big titles. If any of those things ended up becoming true would old friends that I hadn't talked to in years, and people that I didn't get along with ( people I disliked), would they be able to profit from my success??? Like by writing a book that was negative about me....or selling stuff to tabloids?????

keep in mind i'm talking about ordinary people making money off this not people that were already famous.

Because that is what this war is costing each American. Those who support the war should put their money where their mouths are! (But we all know these hypocrites would flip-flop and suddenly claim they're against the war.)

In the last year my neighbor has also erected an 8 foot high chain linked fence and 12 "no tresspassing signs". I live on one acre he lives on 12 acres. The problem area is one quarter mile from his front door, but right behind my house in my backyard. This is the only area on his property where he has done this. I can't begin to describe how bad this looks. My neighbor is also very close to the local law enforcement and county officials. They will not do anything.

It seems to me that they have already made up their mind prior to the debate. So isn’t the floor discussion just a waste of time?
