None of this answers the fundamental problem of the aging population and
stagnant workforce. Europe was trying to offset this, and the negative
birthrates, by bringing in guest workers and immigrants and attempting to
continue to expand the economies. The only problem with that theory is
that
when you keep increasing the fiscal burden on companies beyond the
advantages
of where they are located they go to another country that will give them a
better deal. Now you not only haven't gained anything, you've driven the
jobs
to developing nations


Even worse - now they have more unemployed workers whose socialized benefits
they now need to address with a slow economy.

exactly.
I am SO sick of people who support Bush because he stands his ground and
speaks his mind! I don't want a president who stands firm when he's WRONG!
I want a president with balls enough to change direction when he realizes
that he's heading the wrong way. Bush's pig-headedness is going to
bankrupt the country and create an immeasurably more dangerous environment
for all of us because he's antagonizing virtually everybody in the world.

And before all you idiots start pulling out the "Liberals love Saddam"
lines - forget it. There's not a single person around, liberal or not, who
thinks Saddam was good for the world. He wasn't. He was a heinous SOB. But
since when is it the America's responsibility to take out every dictator
we don't like at the moment? Is it worth setting us on the path to the
biggest Holy War ever?

If Bush is elected again, America and its citizens are going to regret it
for decades to come.

To quote the article in
http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature...index_np1.html
(a must read)

"[Bush] doesn't appear to
reflect on his actions and seems unable to concede even the slightest
mistake. Nor is he willing to hold anyone else responsible for anything.
It
is a damning combination. John Kerry may flip-flop, but at least he
realizes
that circumstances change and sometimes require changed policies. He
doesn't
cowardly flee at the first mention of accountability."

You would think that bicycle riders would be pretty strong individualists -
after all, I can't go on a ride without the first AH I see trying to race me
somewhere. You'd think that Democrats would want to work together, but
instead it's all "I'm better than you because I could climb this hill faster
than you." Hell, that's a Republican line ain't it?


There are lots of people who don't have their identity mixed up with a
political party.

I understand why you guys believe Democrats are anti-individualistic.
Read Ayn Rand. It's all that. What I don't get is why you believe
Republicans are pro-individualistic. They push socialism too (albeit at
a lower pace than democrats) because they have to serve some of that up
to get elected. When they say they will get government off the people's
backs, though, it's just noise. If there's an individual that wants to
do stem cell research - we better stop them. Abortion - better stop
them. If there's an individual that's kind of scary but we don't have
evidence against them - arrest them. HEY! There's a naked statue!
Throw a sheet over it!

Some years I think Republicans ARE better at promoting individualism
than Democrats. Their have been years that God himself could have been
on the ballot as a Democrat and I'd have voted against him. I bought
that in 1984 and 1988. This year, though, the Republicans look worse
about all that to me than the Republicans do.

Actually, that's a Ronald Reagan quote. It's true. You can look it up.
I've substituted "George W. Bush" for "Jimmy Carter" but those are words
straight from Reagan's mouth.

Incidently, I think Reagan was as wrong in blaming Carter as the people
who blame Bush for the economy for the last 4 years. Presidents just
don't have that much control over the economy. That's a good thing,
actually. But I hesitate to call Reagan a "Dumbass" like you just did.

No, I was actually thinking that Basso would do it. Close, but who cares
about close?

RC, et al,

1. Are you surprised Horner did so well today? I'm not.
2. You think Cunego is the nest big thing?


I hope he's saving himself a nest egg thing...
