Redfish Actually, I concur with you. However, the world changed with 9/11. Suicide Bombers are one way of taking out massive no's of people-----another way is through whatever comes into this country-----without scrutiny. This is a part of homeland security----whether we like it or not. Free enterprize is the way to go-----however let's do it safely. mj

redfish, Re: Let free enterprise work. I think your comments about the National Nanny are a bit too stilted toward the blind vision of the libertarian. In truth, we do need government as the final arbiter of the limits of commerce. The Congress and the White House just failed the American people on the issue of extending the ban on assault weapons. They voted to protect the gun manufacturers profits at the expense of local police, citizens and decency. At least 2/3 of the American public wanted the ban on assault weapons extended. You can call it being a Nanny, but I think it would have been the decent thing for the government to protect its citizens from the depradations of a deranged industry. *** The Canadian drug re-importation issue is a key to understanding just who is being represented in the Federal Government today. Clearly, citizens are losing the battle to the multi-national corporations. Government is working, at the Federal level, in multiple ways to provide grotesque levels of corporate welfare while denying average citizens anything comparable in terms of largesse. If we could just end the swindle of corporate welfare, we'd close at least half of the federal deficit. And if we rationalized the 'self-licking ice cream cone' called the military-industrial-congressional complex, we could end the entire deficit. Corporate welfare and gross-out militarism has nothing whatsoever to do with much-vaunted and fantasized-about free enterprise. What they are is what was defined by Mussolini as fascism: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power." --Benito Mussolini

That particular Anti-American Republican is still whining over 911 while ignoring the US's killing of 100,000 Iraqis for no reason. Anti-American Republicans are also dinking around with free enterprise with tort 'reform' which is just meddling with the right to fight in court. There is NO more problem with medications from Canada than with Tylenol poisoning in the US or the FDA allowing the use of Fen-Phen and Vioxx. Anti-American Republicans are simply protecting the transfer of money from the pockets of wage earners to their drug company campaign contributors. The terrorism thing is just a cynical smoke screen on the grave of those who died on 911 while Bush recovered from his month long vacation. Republicans: Despicable. ===== Hey! Anyone else wonder why government hacks keep talking about how dangerous things are here? 1. The food supply is dangerously easy to poison 2. Laser beams can blind pilots so that they crash 3. Trains are easy to hit with those RPGs they're using in Iraq. Look at what a chlorine chemical spill in the middle of NYC could do! OMG. What in the world are the scare mongers up to? All we have to have are whining, cowardly, easily manipulated dufii like MJ hiding under the bed and giving up all rights to a free society. Republicans: Cowardly.
