It is my understanding that capitalism and freedom is what allowed the USA to accomplish things no other nation has: going to the moon; a space shuttle; inventions of all sorts; etc.

Is this a major issue or should it be? Like other systems it has problems but nothing like communism that inhibits growth and freedom and has the worst human rights violations of any other political/economic system. Socialism is a way or redistributing money, pay for a beauracracy, and enhance opportunities for fraud. To be honest, I don't understand why liberals embrass other forms of economic policy and trash capitalism which has done this country a lot of good.

PROVIDE REASONABLE EXPLAINATIONS.

Does anyone have any info on this Air Force career? Would that be a good way to become a fire fighter after being in the service? How likely would it be for a fire protection apprentice to be deployed? Any info on this career would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

He is 36, a firefighter and a medic. He is frustrated with his job / life and now thinks he should enlist. First, it was reserves, now he is being pushed for active duty by the recruiter. I do not trust the recruiter, it sounds like a load of BS to me.
They claim that wages earned in the Army are tax free, moving costs are paid for, medical insurance is free for the family and he would make ~$1050/ month housing allowance to pay our mortgage and ~$1450 a month pay. He thinks this is a good deal. They have told him he could be in Phyc. Ops, then something called 61Whiskey (some sort of medevac) and the latest is that he could get a Phy. Asst. degree in two yrs, with a 4 yr. commitment tto active duty! (Masters in civilian world.)
They want him to be driven to MEPS by a recruiter Friday night, test all day Sat. and sign more papers. I think this stinks and I resent not being given a say in this. I think he is being lied to and will be trapped into something he hates. Insight please???

"Scooter" Libby’s trial stem from a crude White House attempt to silence an early critic of the Iraq war.

At the end of the road is VP "Shoot-em-up" Cheney.

I asked a question addressing what people agreed and disagreed with, but people on both sides used it as a chance to tee off on the other party. New question, do you people even know what the hell you are talking about? Do you really think about what your positions are and why you believe them? Many people on here are so bitter, you shouldn't vote.

My previous question

Bush is responding to failure in Iraq in the time-honored fashion of a colonial overlord: When violence doesn’t work, try more violence.

Bush’s address this week again highlighted his plan to escalate the war on Iraq with a “surge” of more than 20,000 U.S. soldiers. He is sending a message to anyone who opposes him, saying in effect: What are you going to do to stop me?
