Hal, Speaking of spreading it around. Clinton has taken 47 trips abroad since he's been in office. The infamous Africa trip topped out at costing the taxpayers $43 million. I'd say it's definitely getting "spread around". Estimates suggest Clint could top out at 61 trips... er Junkets... Did I mention the Hillary Junkets? Jim

Well, I have heard of courts daring to include "restitution" as part of a ruling. What planet are you from? No need to be rude and condescending, but I recognize that it's your way. Nearly every reply of yours contains some snide, wise-ass remark. On my planet, Earth, and specifically in my country, the United States of America, restitution is something ordered by a court in an attempt to make an injured party whole. On your planet restitution must include higher tax on "the rich" in order to redistribute that money to "the poor" (since you brought restitution up as a supporting argument for redistribution). You must equate these two so it follows that you believe that "the rich" must injure "the poor", and we're right back to my beginning assertion that the liberals believe that "the rich" get that way by taking advantage of the poor and must therefore be punished. We've argued the full circle now. Why continue it?
