...no public school system, and the top 1% own 90% of the nation's wealth? All I can think of is Haiti. It follows the model of what right wingers think would be an improvement on our system.

Bush has promised to help Minneapolis rebuild after the bridge collapse. Does anyone think he's not lying like he was when he promised help to the city of New Orleans after Katrena?

ON Y/A this morning, I lost it this morning over another NRA nut case. I really have a problem with those devoted to single-issues, self-serving issues.

I can understand a Copyright license for source code that is published (e.g. the GPL) because its easy to see exactly what's being protected against copying, not to mention it protects against against a very specific threat -- using the source code to compile your own unauthorized software.
On the other hand, companies that don't open their source code should theoretically only be able to enforce copyright laws against someone who's accessed & stolen source code and used it to compile unauthorized software. I don't understand how it can be used to combat piracy when then source code was never involved in the act.

I found out recently I had some SS officers in my family that fled to Uruguay, Paraguay and Switzerland at the end of WW2. Would you have a tough time living with that knowledge? I'm ashamed of where I came from now.

Last question:
"Why doesn't anyone set up a People's Party which listens to what the public wants and has honest politicians?"

When I said 'honest politicians' I meant US, the people who set up the party and represent the British people.

UK question, Americans can answer from US perspective.

Are there any? And which foreign country would the GOP admire as a good model of what they want?
As for examples of what Dems might see as good systems, here are some examples: Canada, Norway, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Finland, Luxembourg, Italy, France, Ireland, Iceland,
UK. (Basically the rest of the civilized, indulstrialized world)
Yeah, you can say they're "socialist" but they're nowhere near Cuba, North Korea, USSR or Venezuela, so your black and white thinking is not intelligent.

I feel sorry for those soldiers who think that they are fighting only terrorism? I said that i support you but not the war, yes it may be a contradiction of terms but that is how i feel. I feel sorry that you have to go over there and kill innocent people to get the actual terrorists. I was slammed by others for takeing this view but i guess with loved ones over there they have to be supportive even if its only for their own morale. Well i do support you whether you like it or not. I support your courage and your mental toughness and the ability to perform in the face of death. I would also answer the call for freedom if the call was not being made by someone who sounded like Elmer Fudd. And if you think this war is all about terrorism then i would get you to check the dwindling supply of America's oil reserves. And just remember that there are sleeper cells all over the world. So why not take the fight global to really be effective. Warrior and mercenary are diiferent. Thats my view
