I'm thinking starting off with getting rid of knives, forks and spoons and maybe taking our shoes off when entering a house would be a good start...and hey...the latter is just good manners too.

Consider....

- They were all extremely wealthy, many with hereditary wealth.
- Many owned slaves and it's believed that some abused these slaves. Jefferson apparently fathered children by a couple of his.
- They were extremely pro-business. In fact, their opposition to British taxes was the result of the impact those taxes had on their profit.
- They used the media to insight the public to war with blatant yellow journalism. Did you know that even with the tea tax, tea in the colonys was cheaper than tea in Great Britain?
- They opposed any form of public 'welfare'.
- They opposed any form of public tax. ALL taxes came from import fees.
- They insighted war with England more to free their business enterprises from British taxation and control rather than for any altruistic 'human rights'.
- They were all, to a man, devoutly religious and sought to protect religion from government oppression.

Does this sound liberal to you?

Alot of people say Mr. Bush is " ignorant " or " stupid " , but I believe that is somewhat of an act based on the way the man acted after 911 . The speech written below is one that moved me and one I bet an " ignorant " person couldn't write or even comprehend , yet Bush did and it still moves me , here it is -

"Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom, the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time, now depends on us. Our nation, this generation, will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause, by our efforts and by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail"

President George W. Bush
Address to congress and the nation, September 20,2001

Question - Anyone agree his " ignorance " is an act ?

I have only had 1986 and older vehicles lol, this week we got a 1998 van. It of course has air bags and I hate to say this but I'm a little afraid of it. I heard that air bags could kill someone under 5'3, they said (think it was dateline or something) that it's like being hit by Mike Tyson (ouch). I'm only 5'0 and have to sit fairly close to the wheel.

Are they safe for someone my height?

Shouldn't we all be allowed to carry a small nuclear device? You can make them fit in a backpack nowadays. It would deter a lot of violence, wouldn't it? Plus, I like the idea of making my noisy neighbours vanish in small mushroom cloud!

Does he have a crystal ball that enables him to do so? or perhaps he makes his judgement based on astrology such as his mentor, Pres. Ronald Reagan.

If its none of the above, then he must have super intelligence beyond our understanding but I think thats highy unlikely given his IQ of 98 or less.

I mean really......

I had to correct this from the mistake I made in my last question.

"And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred million and I heard the number of them." Revelation 9:16

China's military power is 200,886,946 (CIA factbook)

Does he think that by being in Iraq he is REALLY protecting the U.S. that well? First Al Qaeda has pre-9/11 strengths and has reformed in Pakistan NOT Iraq and there is not attempt to stop them or catch them what so ever. There are no MAJOR terrorists in Iraq anymore. Just home grown terrorists who want us out. Second with all of the illegals getting into our borders why does Bush think that terrorists are not? If he is SO insistent on fighting terrorists than how come terrorists can come into out country so easily? If illegal Mexicans can get in than nothing is stopping terrorists either. Isn't it a rule of thumb when trying to protect your country from an attack to secure your own base FIRST? Terrorists from lets just say Al Qaeda could come into this country so easily through South America or Canada but a majority of troops are in Iraq instead of protecting our borders. Why is this?

Larry Craig had a tip she'd be in the last stall but due to a slight delay he tapped his shoe to another guy after she left.

Any insight on this?

In his farewell address, George Washington warned the United States against several things. These issues now dominate the US government and have created countless problems for the US in the past and the present.

Washington warned against the dangers of a two party system and of foreign entaglments.

Washington is probably rolling in his grave.

for instance ... if there was a 'depo-sniper' who hid out in Catholic and Mormon communities sniping women with the Depo-Provera shot, would there be a strange part of you rooting for the sniper to get as many women as he/she could?
