The most common argument put forward is that the "people must be freedom loving?
All people love freedom.Surly it takes more than just that. what about factors like,intelligence level,lack of religious fanatism,basic honest character.

Global terrorism truly is a threat that all live with daily, but why do we as American's just roll over and give up some of our basic liberties ie we are allowing our gov't to control too much of our daily lives with terror warning charts, wire taps, etc., is all of this truly for our overall protection or is it for more power and control over our daily lives with BIG brother watching every steps we take!

Mexican trucks are not safe, there have been studies that show they have not been safe time and time again. And the facts stand that I don't remember EVER in the USA history of having THREE semi's involved in one accident where the weather never played a part. How much will our insurances go up because of the danger of being on the roads?

How many people are going to die at the hands of these trucks? My guess many, MANY more than what happened on 9/11.

Once an amendment to the constitution has been ratified, can it ever be reversed?

and compel employers to provide it, can it also compel everyone to get a high school diploma? Or a job? Or mandate that the parents of a child conceived out of wedlock get married?

But seriously, I have many questions on the various health care plans being discussed, and am still sorting through it all.

But my basic question is about the limits of the federal government's power to, say, require that everyone obtain health insurance. How does this compare with other actions the federal government requires us to take? Where is the constitutional authority? Again, the federal government already imposes many requirements on us, and I believe Mitt Romney instituted a similar state plan in Mass.

Finally, I included my examples about education, jobs and marriage, because studies show these factors contribute most to poverty.

What say you?

Here in Anchorage our city assembly enacted a smoking ban in PRIVATELY OWNED drinking establishments. I realize this is a trend in many places these days but I do not agree with it. As for non-smokers there are plenty of establishments who voluntarily run smoke free already in existence. As for the radio ad campaign the Alaska Tobacco Control Alliance ran (playing up empoyee issues regarding second-hand smoke) people who work in bars do so of their own free will to begin with- it's not like they had to sign a contract to work there for X number of years or whatever. I hope this recently enacted law gets broken all over the place once winter sets in up here- it would serve our assemblymen right~
