You guys haven't caught on yet, have you?
It has nothing to do with security and everything to do with federal
money for contracts and empire building within federal agencies.
It's a jobs program.
Look at the $1 million that was spent on the party TSA had last month.
If a security save happens... well, we got lucky.

*hehe* ... your election is coming up. Here (Austria, Germany) the TV
coverage of the US election starts off with Fahrenheit 9/11 on Nov 1st as
an intro. We have some stations with coverage all night long [1] (due to
the time shift). Maybe they will find the 30,000 (?) voting cards in
Florida or maybe Bush's website will be accessible outside the US [2] by
then. Hm, maybe Kerry will bring home many/all US troops from Iraq ... but
this will then cause another vacuum.

[1] at least 1 TV station has some special reports during this week with
very good insight views on the US.

I went to this website, and while I am concerned over the cost of the
war,
why is it that when someone points out it's cost, they point to ways
they want to spend it.

Why is a person who want to keep his own money and decide how to spend
it is called greedy and the person who wants to take it away at gunpoint
and give it to someone else, generally to buy votes, is not?

Why is taking away my money to buy the votes of people who didn't earn
it not included when we talk about liberties lost?

I don't think we'll ever REALLY know how much the war is costing us.

But quite frankly, I think the financial burden is not the highest price we
are paying for the war...

Yep, I agree. My first real job was working as a repair technician for a
cash register dealer. Sometimes, the things couldn't be fixed in the field
and had to be brought back to the shop. I would just stroll out the door
with a big cash register and no one would ask me about it. I once had a
guard hold the door open for me.

Go figure, nobody stopped by to ask me precisely what I thought I was
doing.


I used to marvel at this all the time.

In my last business, we had over 60 newspaper vending machines in one
county. If one didn't sell well, I'd have one of my guys move it to
another location.

Occasionally, I'd move one myself. I'd simply pull up in my unmarked

pickup
truck, back up to the machine that was in front of a restaurant or store,
and -- without further ado -- I'd lift the entire machine into the back of
the truck.

I did this for years. Never -- not even once -- did ANYONE question me,

or
what I was doing.

In my experience, if you act like you know what you're doing, you can get
away with almost anything.

Because that's not part of the program.

Most folks who are whining about lost liberty NEVER care if it happens to be
*your* financial liberty.

Never.

Hell, they don't even see the connection.

It's good to see you have such well researched facts available.



I'd gladly check those facts with the ones that your current leader brings
up, but unfortunately his website is not accessible outside of the USA.

Hopefully this guy is history in a couple of days. Sad thing is that we got
used to make jokes about W and his brave fellows and we have then to jump
on Kerry. :-)

I'm sure you can figure out other places to check facts. Hopefully


yep.

you'll do your research with a more critical and thorough approach
than the likes of Moore.


I could if I want to, but to tell you the trouth: I have no interest.

I pray that it won't be needed, but you can start with "liveshot",
"flip-flop", and "waffle."


Well, I will give this guy and his administration the 100 days in office,
then I'll see if there are some changes coming up in your country. Then
I'll check if it is save and useful for a foreigner to visit your country
again (and share the airspace). Right now it isn't.
