Instant Karma's gonna get you, Gonna look you right in the face, Better get yourself together darlin', Join the human race, How in the world you gonna see, Laughin' at fools like me, Who on earth d'you think you are, A super star, Well, right you are.>>>>. lyrics007.com

The economy creates consumers but cannot create citizens. (Jun 1999) - Billary I believe that within a decade, the hubris of this administration and of the people that think of gov't as God will regret their blind faith because of how the choices have circled around to take a big bite out of their quality of life. But chances are they will never connect the dots -- there will be something to blame it on at that time, and that scapegoat or act-of-God will be embraced rather than looking in the mirror and admitting that we are the problem. My RED STATE friends have dying mothers now because they cant get medicine - but wave that flag and say they support the troops - look they will never get it - that requires too much insight and time and reflection - they dont have the free time to sit around and really think about things - that is too hard for them. One of my redneck buddies - he has got to work 7 days a week now to keep up his ARM payments on his trailer and GM car that he is underwater on - he said if I would spend less time reading SI and more time working - things would get better - its all our faults for not getting out and doing more menial jobs - if we would all pick crops instead of read SI - he says there would be no NEED to import pedro - hehe. I said sure - but back in the old day mine and your mom were picking crops as kids while the adults steered society - but now the kids go to starbucks and play XBOX - only pedro and his kids are lowly enough to pick crops. He is not a bad person, but he thinks bush is a good ole boy - not meaning no harm - and looking out for the little guy. he believed the same about carter and clinton - he could IDENTIFY with them. I keep telling him - would you make a good president - he says no - I say right - but you want to put in a guy like you - not a good statesmen - just a good ole boy - the reasoning is lost on him. Hayek said the populace gets the guy they put in - and I guess if those populace are all too busy then they just put in anyone - I would much rather we have a society of good citizens than 1 great leader.

the point wasn't to take out Saddam or anything of a sort: it was to occupy Iraq and create a stronghold in the Middle East; not to steal oil, but to control oil/energy supplies I have no problem with the idea of... multifactorial causations. Saddam enjoyed absolute power in Iraq -- and he was not content. He was a proactive, imperialistic guy. If he were not stopped by Israelis in 1981 and by Bush Sr. Coalition in 1991, he would most certainly be "nucelar" by now... If he could get away with having Kuwait for breakfast, he would not hesitate to take over Saudi Arabia for lunch... And what next? Another shot at Iran - for dinner? That certainly would do wonders to the "control of oil/energy supplies". An assertive, (eventually) nuclear ME empire, controlled by an absolute dictator - the Stalin wannabe Saddam Hussein - that was the direction in which things were moving. I think "within a decade" history may be able to judge whether trying to change that course was a worthwhile idea. And what's all the fuss about Iran demanding freedom to develop nukes (they do it openly, not covertly, like SH)? It will also inevitably end in some sort of a confrontation - hopefully, a bloodless one, with their government agreeing to step back - and accept international controls.
