The extreme right and left has been running this country way to long. They wanted the middle class completely out of the way. In their effort to silence us the exact opposite has happened. The middle class has been awakened! We are now angry as hell and won't take this anymore. This is evidenced by the defeat of the latest amnesty bill. The middle class has been shown that you do not have to wait for a formal election, but can exercise their power to steer elected representatives and make them to listen to us. The middle class still has some clout and there is hope for America and to bring us back to the path of our founders and families that toiled, bled and believed in the American dream!

I'll break down the words by definition:

Civilian: A person following the pursuits of civil life, especially one who is not an active member of the military, the police, or a belligerent group

Inmate: one of a group occupying a single place of residence; especially a person confined in a prison or hospital for a long time

Labor: 1. productive activity for the sake of economic gain 2. body of persons considered as a class distinguished from management and capital; physical work, esp. of a hard or fatiguing kind; toil

Camp: 1. shelter for persons displaced by war or political oppression or for religious beliefs 2. a penal institution (often for forced labor); "China has many camps for political prisoners"

Get the picture? It's being thrown right in your face. Are you mad yet?

When the average American income is less than $50,000, isn't this too much? If we could force them to work for the wages of the every-man, wouldn't that keep our government more in touch with their constituents?
What do you think? Why?

Once Iraq is stable how many American corporations will invest there. How many Iraqis will be working for american companies and making the fat cats of america richer and richer.... whilst they hide behind the guise that they are helping to rebuild the nation.

I read in the depression of the 1930's Americans had absolutely no money and not too many jobs. So bartering skills, useful home-made products, home grown food, horses, cattle, chickens, served in some cases as money.
Apparently, the old USSR reached that point also, when it collapsed.
How will you handle it?

I read a lot about the coups of war-torn African states during the 1960s- present, where the major focus was on seizing control of the presidential palace (or equivalent) and the nearby barracks, getting rid of the ruling power and establsiging a new power.

Theoretically, could a coup be staged in a developed western country, such as the USA, UK or mainland Europe today? Would seizing control of certain parts of the capital cities (Washington D.C., London) and the corresponding governmental seats be enough, as it was in those African states?

This is a light hearted question, I am obviously not planning to do this but serious answers would be appreciated. Thanks

I noticed over the last years there seems to be a war between the "liberals" and "conservatives". I seem to be both. I vote my conscience and usually split the ballot. I voted for a Democratic president the last two elections, but next election I like one or two of the Republicans and none of the Democrats.

I guess I'm liberal about not giving the top 2% huge tax breaks (after Brazil we have the biggest imbalance between the wealthy and the poor). But I am against tax and spend policies.

I don't believe it is up to Government to set a moral standard. Politicans are the last people who should claim to know morals. But I also do belive money should be spent to educate people about better moral practices.

Can't we all just get along?

damn, for a second i thought that budget was gonna go to AIDS-agonizing people in Swaziland, or starving children in Ethiopia, refugees in Darfur, families of raped women in Rwanda, people suffering from diseases due to the lack of safe drinking water in Kenya.....hell, at least reforesting the whole world. You could feed a continent.

Oh but wait, yeah I forgot, war is more important! War "sets people free"! Hundreds of thousands people are dying, and for what? adding zeros to Cheney,Bush,Lesar and-the-list-goes-on's income. So now that Afghanistan and Iraq are a total waste, the next target is Iran and the Persian Gulf while Israel and Pakistan do the rest of the job. Then we'll all be a star on certain flag. It's the sick truth. clap clap clap.

He's a complete failure, he has no power, he is as inept as he is clueless.
In almost 7 years, all he managed to do was veto stem cell research funding, he failed at every other agenda item.
Any sane person would call it a day.

About the fact that Bush and Cheney refuse to comply with a subpoena to release documents regarding the firings of US attorneys? Since when are they above the law? What is wrong with the population when they can get away with this and no one cares? This country is so f*cked.

Is there a relationship between economic conservativism (or free-market capitalism) and religion? For example, why is there a correlation between Christian fundamentalism and the Republican party? By contrast, why have Communist regimes historically banned religion?

welfare and other government programs since Johnson's great society have done nothing statistically to solve poverty, and if anything those areas are much worse off with drugs and violence instead of jobs and families.
Conservatives statistically give much more to charity (read: Who really cares? the Surprising Truth about Compassionate Conservatives written by Arthur Brooks, Prof Syracuse U). They believe in helping people help themselves, yet Liberals accuse them of hating the poor.
