I don't think that was a generalization...it was a point about how privatizing isn't necessarily more efficient or less corrupt. It definitely isn't more efficient and it's not less corrupt if government officials have direct interest in those private companies being contracted to do the government's work.

Someone close to me is mother of an autistic child. Her child (Anthony) was diagnosed with the condition about six months ago and since then has made tremendous progress in communicating and interacting with others. That progress was made with the help of the Pennsylvania state government. They've sent over speech therapists, behaviorists, child psychologists, and other experts to cater to the child's development and make whatever improvments can be made given his condition. Had she not received this help from the state, costs would have been more than she could begin to afford. Her husband is self-employed but does not earn what it would take to sustain an education for an autistic child. Nor would he be able to afford a health care plan that would cover the costs of the testing and treatment required for autistic children. Education for autistic children is extremely expensive because it demands a high degree of individual attention. Thanks to the help of the PA state government, there is hope for Anthony. I read a lot here likening government programs like this, borne of liberal policymaking, to socialism/communism. I'm absolutely convinced that tax dollars here are going to a good cause. I'm also absolutely convinced that welfare reform is a good thing and that perpetuating laziness in peoples' lives by giving government handouts is not a good thing; not all government programs work. Were this help completely privatized, help for Anthony would be out of reach in these vital first few years of his development. Just an example of how government programs, if run the right way and done with the right intentions, can and do help people. That's my point, I'd like to hear yours....thanks.

Maybe that's because the Bush lackeys have been so quiet. And maybe that's because Bush lackeys have no valid argument for Bush as a good president. This doesn't have to be left-lopsided -- that's boring. Instead, stand up and offer a substantive defense for your president and try starting a two-sided discussion rather than worrying about getting shouted down.

Sure Clinton said stupid things sometimes. Only thing is Bush says them 100 times as much, at 100x the magnitude of stupidity. Sorry, but the lists of quotes do not compare. I don't see anything in Clinton's list nearly as disturbing as sh.it like "I trust God speaks through me..." ____ 15. "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001 14. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002 __ "Do you have blacks, too?" "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." "There ought to be limits to freedom" And that 50-item list just scrapes the surface of the drivel uttered over the last five years. I think there will be volumes of this stuff by January 2009.

Gee, could it be this dipshit? How supporters can read this stupidity and still support him is beyond me. I'd hate to say it's because they can relate to it...surely there must be a better reason. In my couple months of posting here on SC I still haven't read a half-decent explanation.

"Damn palestinians" Damn that's ignorant. Very sheepish words. You only hear one side of the story -- all of the time. Our media doesn't report their side. Not that I think suicide bombings are ever justified. I think Jews have a right to a homeland but I also believe Palestinians have suffered some injustices that haven't been recitified. Both sides are right -- and wrong. I think it's time the Arabs start helping the Palestinians out instead of constantly wishing death on the US and Israel. In that sense what the Palestinians did is good. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

When I see very weak defenses for what this president does and does not do, you'll hear it. I did not bash him in my previous post. He made me late to my meeting this morning -- cops & FBI wouldn't allow me to cross 50th Street for ten freaking minutes so his motorcade would pass on his way to the UN. For that and many other reasons, he's a POS. There, I just bashed Bush. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

This is the first thing he admitted culpability for during his tenure as president. If he admitted responsibility, then he's in part responsible for the failure on the federal level. End of story.

Nope, it's still there. I just got the answer on the model: it's a Falcon 195. I did some research and it looks like PD doesn't make the Falcon anymore, which makes me think the canopy is a bit old. I left the next string of questions with the seller -- DOM, size of container, and whether he'd be able to meet with a rigger before $ changes hands. Thanks...

If Reuters screwed up. Shame on the reporter. That doesn't mean Fox is objective. Are you referring to bias in general, or just bias that leans left? I think *all* journalistic bias, be it right or left, is disgusting and I think Rather got off easy. You know where Brit Hume stands. I'm curious to know what you think of his reporting. Also, that Reuters f.cked up that one fact doesn't mean the others are wrong. I'm curious: being that you benefit 0% (unless you are employed by one of the companies) from these deals the reporter wrote about, what do you think of your tax dollars repeatedly going to these companies that this administration has such close ties to? Are you in favor of it? Against it? Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

There's nothing wrong with a BMI test to warn clueless parents in our chronically fat society and your incoherent, angry and pointless rant about a "'liberal faggoty-ass establishment' called public education" has absolutely nothing to do with the BMI test or its consequences or its part in trends taking place in public education. It was better off in a second posting, or better yet none at all. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Is this a good deal? I've asked the seller what model the main is and I don't get a response. He only says it's a 190 in the ad. I have 83 jumps and if this is a sabre it would be ideal for me, but if it's a high performance 190 then I'd be screwed buying it. Anyhow it has a cypres and pd 160 reserve.... it's at $1800 now.

Rushmc or anyone else -- This is a serious question, pardon the ignorance but I didn't grow up in an English-speaking household so there are a lot of colloquialisms that I'm not familiar with.

Oh. My guess was that terrorists like Bush, especially because Iraq has been their playground for some time. They didn't have that before. I'm sure some propaganda you may have heard made you think terrorists prefer Kerry. But terrorists didn't hear that propaganda. So really, you don't know who they prefer. I think your guess is as good as mine. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

You keep putting words in my mouth. That doesn't make your president look better. I don't support Bush because I ask a lot of questions and think for myself. Not supporting him doesn't make me a self-thinker. Nor does supporting him mean that you're not a self-thinker. I didn't say that and you know I didn't even imply that even though my figurative language smacks of it a bit. You said it. I think with statements like those above you're doing that to yourself. It doesn't further your argument. So you've got a sh.t list and I'm working my way onto it. That ruins my day. I'm not into polarizing, and this is getting very petty. I'd rather talk substance and hear you tell me how, being from TX, your state has become better since W's governorship and the USA has become a better country since 2000. I don't hear much of that from your point of view. What I do hear instead is provocative and polarizing talk egging on "bush bashers." So I reciprocate by letting you know what I think.
