I don't know any slave owners, and I'd bet you don't either.

My neighbor...works for the IRS.

State's Rights and free trade are subjugated during wartime -- and
always
have been.


During peace time, too.


State's rights have been subjugated, off and on, since the Civil War. Guys
like Ashcroft and Bush claim to support it (and, philosophically, they
probably do) -- but once inside the beltline, they lose all perspective.
Exposure to all that centralized power and perceived (if in-grown) stature
seems to warp everyone who dwells in Washington, D.C. for any length of
time.

Free trade, on the other hand, seems to have been on the upswing for the
past decade, at least.

Jay,


newly freed public in Iraq



If your world has a freed public in Iraq, it is certainly very
different from mine.


More than 95% of the Iraqi countryside is enjoying freedom right now.
The only parts you hear about on the news is the bad parts.

How often and how long have you been there? And, of course, you speak
fluently Arabic, so you could actually talk to people.

State's Rights have virtually disappeared ever since the 14th Amendment. Now
it's not only a matter of the Constitution being the "Supreme Law of the
Land" (A good thing) , but everything in between.

Here, yes; elsewhere, no.

the guts to finally come clean. Why don't you just admit that you are
against anything that Kerry/Edwards stand for, and are just another
Bush/Cheney toady?!


Because it's not true -- I think they're all assholes.

I guess that makes me an "equal opportunity twit", eh?

;-)

My wife and I annually fly to the midwest, and I had planned on
stopping by to stay at your 3rd rate motel, just from a sense of
pilot-comraderie. Forget it.


Gosh, if you get this worked up about a Usenet discussion -- about

politics,
of all things! -- I'd appreciate it if you'd stay the hell away from my
airport.

You're a bit too unstable to be piloting a plane.


He probably things someone honking at him (as he intrudes into someone
else's lane) is "Road Rage".

Most small insignificant countries do because they have no choice.


BUT: I do care if there is a junkyard next to my
house, a highway in front of the school or an airport closing for a new home
development.


These are local issues and have little if anything to do with which
party you consider yourself affiliated with.

He claimed he knew the truth, I didn't. Besides, I do know Arabic people
frome several different countries.
