>>Skeets, I figure you are ... richest nation on earth, sole remaining superpower, the world's reserve currency, yada yada. That gov't y'all hate paying for is serving you well, by and large.<< terry, did the govt make this nation rich? does the us govt instill confidence in our currency? if we copy this exact same govt in cambodia, will they get the same results? come on! america made the govt, not the other way around. the cart s/b behind the horse. the us system of govt is near the best on earth, for sure. not b/c it is so good, but b/c others are so horrible. i'm fed up w/ both the demicans and republicrats b/c i'm for reasonable and rational govt instead of "govt for personal self interest in the guise of whatever people want to hear at the moment." i piss off both democrats and republicans b/c both party paradigms are shoddy. but, alas, reasonable and rational doesn't yield as much personal gain for politicians and pork fat for their hometown constituents.
