      If the US hadn't declared independence we probably wouldn't have had this problem.

                    I've seen Molly Ivins a few times, once on tv and once at a seminar at Texas A&M.

                    I am absolutely convinced she is stark raving mad. Willie Nelson is more coherant at concerts.

                      But I just hate when a single issue comes up and Sava makes it sound like for that reason alone, you should change parties and that every thing comes down to this one sole issue....

                      Every party does stupid things in support of those that keep them office... Is this bad... yes... does it surprise me... no... should I go running over to the Dems because of it... I don't think so...
                      This is a rather extreme example, but unfortunately, it's standard practice by both parties - put a nice, flag-waving title on a bill, load it with unrelated pork and special purpose legislation, and either nobody notices, or nobody dares vote against a bill with such a nice, catchy "who could be against that?" title.

                      The problem is that it's what voters want. People ***** about corporate perks, etc., but then you get things like useless national guard and reserve units, highway projects, all sorts of Federal tax money that gets spent locally, and people want senators and representatives who bring home the bacon.

                      Hey Floyd, that's very consistent with your anarchist ideology. Some corporations can use special loopholes and hire tax attorneys to evade taxes, while most can't, nor can individuals. Hey, coherent, consistent Floydian ideology strikes again.

                        Hey, I don't agree with taxes in general. If a person or corporation can use a loophole to get out of paying them, I'm not gonna object. Sure, maybe it's not fair that I can't use the loophole, but in my view taxes aren't fair to begin with, so I'm not going keep someone else from getting out of them just because I can't.

                        And I'm not anarchist, I believe in government - just a strictly limited one.

                          The Commies and greens are the only people with brains, Ming. Quit supporting corrupt porkbellies.

                          Fezzie is spending some quality time in Mingapulco. It's boring on the threads without his fezzing.

                              Don't ask me, ask Ming. I think he said 2 weeks, not for sure. So he'll be back in a week I say.
