Just a question, not trying to offend you.

Competition cannot lower the price of a service lower than it costs to produce it. At the moment, the average cost of educating a child to the school is approximately $8000 per year. Nobody is going to sell a service for a lower price than it costs to produce it. So the price for education (as we know it now) is always going to be, on average, more than $8000 per child per year. Which is pretty expensive considering that many people earn only $20,000 per year.

The only way to provide it at an affordable price would be to change the way we educate children so that it becomes cheap enough so that the majority of people can afford it. Of course, at this point you will say that the market will provide a solution. Yes, it probably will, but how long is it going to take? How many people will become illiterate before the market comes up with a solution?

Can you think of a cheaper way of educating children? Would removing sports achieve this?

I think we do. Government debt only leads to inflation . I hope we can stop reckless spending of taxpayer money.

Most of the American people live on far less than this. Is this why the government has no idea why people can't afford health care, new cars, bigger homes(or even one at all) and to send their kids to college?

Is it Barney Frank's Fault or Clinton's Fault?
That republican senator Larry Craig spends his evenings cruising public men's rooms for gay toilet sex?

According to all the right-wing kool-aid drinkers on YA!, we know that republicans can never be held responsible for their personal behavior.

Since everybody knows conservatives are psychopaths, we can't expect any of them to accept personal accountability for their actions, can we?

the enemy is 'radical Islam', that is who the war is against. It is not a religion but an ideology like Nazism, Fascism and Communism.

"But Americans, out of a sense of "political correctness," he believes, are reluctant to ascribe the actions of the terrorists to a religion embraced by more than one billion people worldwide."

I've noticed that the overwhelming majority of political "questions" are little more than rants. Or bad straw-man arguments. Or insipid name calling. What can we do to have actual discussions of real issues, such as "What reasons do you have for supporting/opposing the Death penalty?" or "Do you think the prison system is working to reduce crime?" and so on?

And how, once such questions are posted, can we avoind this bi-partisan name calling that is so common here?

And, can we demand that statements made about some issue or another be supported with source citations (i.e. some actual evidence) instead of parroting popular misconceptions?

Anyone with me?

There are hundreds of legal organizations that support and defend the Minorities (Blacks, Latinos,Asians...).But there are no legal organizations to defend the rights of a vast Majority.
Please, don't give me a damn lies about "White people don't need such an organization" or "Nobody abuses or insults White people".
If everybody wants to be equal in this country, then let's do it.
What should we do to create such an organization?
Thanks for your help.

The terrorists are more angry than ever since we toppled a dictator in Iraq and set up a democracy that may be friendly toward us.

I'm told by many here that if we just get out of Iraq, there will be peace in our time.

Can we disband our armed forces after we leave Iraq?

Can we disarm our nukes and shut down training facilities?

Norway is #1 place to live...how about if we modeled our military after them?

10 points for the best answers to the specific questions...rants about GWB and how we never should have been in Iraq in the first place are always amusing, but not relevant here.

Right after the attack we formed Homeland Security, right?

In Germany after the Government staged the Reichstag Fire to unite Germans, they then created a Government unit of planners called "Protect the Homeland", very similar to "Homeland Security"

There are still questions that have people asking if 9/11 was an inside job that have never been answered through any kind of a non Washington/Whitehouse authorized independent investigation.

Then the Germans enacted Martial Law and demanded that all citizens carry their citizenship papers at all times

Much like the U.S. Government is trying to enact Martial Law and create a national ID and microchips.

So - how can you Neocons have the nerve to say that we cannot compare you to Nazi Germany!
