Well as I've said, there's a dumbing down of America in the news and media. People don't care, they hear war on terror and think it must be true. Might makes right basically. Somehow they think John Wayne is a symbol of what they want to be, although that only works if you look and think like...

Stephanopulos opinion on the last debate, video; http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5783578

I'm still out on this knowing there are a lot of personal issues involved. ABC news video http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5783578

Norelco will last indefinately, but you have to change the heads every few years as well as the batteries. They are good but expensive. I just went back to a disposable type with blade actually.

Yes, I stopped just short of saying that. CEO's of major banking corporations probably won't like that their $450 million dollar salaries will be taxed more heavily. Sometime after Cheney, (the same people that now bring you McCain and Palin), steps out of the oval office, his former company...

I think what the US has become is an aberation of those early values, and the rhetoric of keeping conservative does nothing to bring that back but supports the current distortion of it. We need to get out of an unjust war, fix an economy based on oil greed, and catering to military suppliers...

I think it's pretty clear to see what's going on over on the right.

I thought McCain looked anemic and thought of the Nixon / Kennedy debate. He just looks like old politics as you say. Promise everything with no plan. It's like saying, "When I'm Miss America, I plan to bring peace and happiness to all the world". I rather skip that "plan", for one perfect...

Letterman was scathing over McCain cancelling his appearance to rush back to Washington to fix the credit crisis. He said, "Something stinks about this", numerous times and he wasn't talking about week old fish. I'm sure there's a well publicized youtube clip already posted here. Let me just...

Okay. :)

Now just think. You have no control over how the Phillies will do against the Dodgers, but you have control over whether or not you will make a decision for yourself, or let other's make it for you.

Watch on line. Free. No registration. Answers the question of who are John McCain and Barack Obama http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/choice2008/

Since my childhood I opposed that us vs. them garbage and just assumed that older / wiser people knew more about those issues than I did. Now I realize my mistake was trusting any one's judgement other than my own!

Yes this is a weird one.

Without basis. Sorry. Someone also posted as fact that a fundamentalist Christian group brought down the fed building in OK City, which is also not true. Knowing the facts should I agree with that?

I was naked once! The way people reacted, I'll never do that again!

Aren't those boobs in your avatar supposed to bounce? NASA is just a subset of the group that brought you Iraq: Bush Family Bullshit, The Sequal.

Scary things out here!

I wanted to jump! But I didn't want to die!

Things in porn that turn you off INSTANTLY. Stopping to blow one's nose always turns me off!

Yes. You created a zombie thread that sounded like the last one. I thought this was a new story, but checking the dates killed that. Thanks for the resurrection! :rolleyes:

Well, I see your point but elected officials on the payroll are a lot worse.

They knock on doors selling vacuum cleaners around here!

Okay! Kazinsky was not in the military nor the first Trade Center bombers as far as I can see without going nuts. I don't see the military connection. I don't see the implied conspiracy. Well OJ has his own problems right now, not a good source of accurate information.

I think it was a matter of someone in his party choosing someone to perform a service that screwed them as was their policy when they thought they could get away with it. I got screwed by the local garage in doing my brakes and didn't find out until a year later when I had moved. Why is anyone...

No, you're losing me now. I require a lot more proof.

Shit! You notice the sign up bonuses have gone up? Red, white and blue. Give me enough money and I'll shoot my Grandmother! :rolleyes:

Huh?

Sorry, I may be wrong. I didn't research any of that, but I don't recall they were all connected to the military in any way. Oswald was a Marine, but wasn't he the only one in the military in the larger group you mention? Anything implied is just conjecture without merit :dunno:

That may be. I had heard he hired them to solicit new voters to register which not only doesn't guarantee him a vote, it also doesn't mean legitimate registrants will vote. Either way it has nothing to do with the truth as being screamed by some McCain supporters.

Dana Plato too, and Linda Blair. Not untypical of hollywood sweethearts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Plato

Socially and cognitively impoverished although no one here will admit it. No, I said myself Mickey Mouse won't show up so other than the problem created for the local voter registration people, what has this got to do with Obama? He hired Acorn to encourage new voters, but I guess they won't...

I always order on line. I have found more than once that ordering something and paying a reasonable shipping rate gets it here within 24 hours. Amazing. A new keyboard ordered at 8pm for my laptop with $10 shipping got here in 20 hours, by 4pm the next day.

I remember when it happened, and the first thing other than the anniversary date was it was exactly due North on the same road as Waco. All true according to my recollection. I seem to remember he requested that, no appeals.

Yeah, I felt bad for the guy and hope he's not going to face charges. He was just some homeless person and did what he had to. Obviously those few cigarettes and dollars made a difference to him. But as we know, there is no poverty in America!

I find these sometimes; http://www.wvbugman.com/images/blackwidow.JPG

Yep, that's what I was saying. Goofy and Porky Pig too. Someone blamed this on Obama! :rolleyes: News today said one guy was given money or cigarettes and signed up each of 74 times.

FYI, there is a film about suicide jumpers on the Golden Gate; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799954/

Very nice!

Here's something predating 9/11 http://representativepress.googlepages.com/CNN2.html In the 1996 declaration, bin Laden wrote, "I still feel the pain of Al Quds [Jerusalem] in my internal organs" "My Muslim Brothers of The World: Your brothers in Palestine and in the land of the two Holy Places...

After 9/11 Bin Laden stated a number of reasons for the attack, and US involvement in Israel was among them. The other part of my post refered to comments in documentaries about the change in the news media to become more entertainment than comment, and other criticisms regarding the control of...

I mentioned one of his reasons for the attack. I'm not stating a policy on it. I'm not running for President.

I know all about that! Zero gravity with intercourse. No, my mistake. It was Gravity with zero intercourse. :1orglaugh

Here's some good info I haven't seen in a while THE WAR ON DEMOCRACY (Venezuela) John Pilger's 2007 documentary explores the historic and current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. Pilger claims that the film "...tells a universal story... analyzing...

Here it is again. http://www2.truman.edu/~marc/resources/interventions.html

Latin America has a pretty grim story at the hands of US policy there. Not surprising they would want anyone representing Bush politics out.

McCain handled it well I thought, as he should have. People are more concerned with their own delusions of truth if it supports their ideas than the real truth about anything. They believe what they want to believe because it gives them an excuse to stay exactly where they are. This woman...

Good article. People should read it. Read Imperial Hubris. If you recall, one of Bin Ladens reasons for the attack in NY was the US involvement in Isreal. If the US is anywhere it's for strategic reasons and has little to do with God, humanitarianism or conscience. I've said many times...
