Why didn't GWB join the U.S. Air Force ?

The much more "interesting thing" is that Art can make completely false
(amazing in their purity of falsehood; breathtaking, actually) statements in
total opposition to anything resembling the truth or logic (see below) and
build an entire worldview out of it!

" . . . an administration and a Supreme Court that gives preference to
state's rights . . . "

Wow.

This newsgroup has turned into one of those logical syllogism exercises
where Vince or Art start with "The Sky Is Red" or "You Do Not Exist" and the
class then attempts to support or refute the premise.

And of course all without the benefit of training or a disciplined mind(s) .

Amendment X
:
:The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
rohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states
respectively,
r to the people.

The interesting thing is that while we now have both an administration and
Supreme Court that gives preference to states rights, the Federal
government
now has never been larger, more powerful and spent more than ever before.

The UK is quite decidely a republic (small R). It is similarly a
"constitutional democracy"--meaning it is a form defined by a
constitution (albeit unwritten)

It is written. Just not all in one place

I think it was with the arrival of Walt$49.95 and ACE,


Political Science is a contradiction in terms. If it is political it ain't

You'll have to talk to Plato about it. You're both about the same age,
although not peers.

While that is cute, it isn't very new and it also isn't correct.
Political Science is the study of politics, not the practice. In other
words, it is the observation of phenomena in the hope of understanding
it. It involves both traditional schools and behavioral.

The traditionalists tend to research history and attempt to understand
the political processess that led to successes or failures. For
example there has been a lot of study of the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban
Missile Crisis, the failures of the Vietnam War, the US success in the
Cold War, etc.

The behavioralists tend toward statistical analysis. Here you get
polling, measurement, focus groups, attempts at prediction,
measurement of public opinion, etc.

Now, your turn for another inanity.

There you've made a meaningless statement. Equally we might note that
democratic and communistic principles can exist side by side.


They can of course. we can democratically decide on our economic
system. equally dictatorships can be capitalistic. one does not
implicate the other.

However, certain political systems and economic systems are likely to see
grouped than others.


China today is an example of a communist capitalisic sytem Or it can be called
a capitalist dictatorship.

A monarchy is not a government, since it's nothing but Kings
illegally giving stuff to Dukes. Since there has never
been a Monarchy in the entire history of Earth, that didn't
somehow also think that is was an Empire, graced by some
non-existent spirits in the woods, such as Robin Hood.

So monarchies aren't governments? I'm sure the UK would be surprised to hear
that. If you are referring to preparliamentary marnarchies they were in fact
governents in that the made law raised taxes and armies etc.

The UK is surprised to hear most things.
Particulary that their monarchy is one
least successful ever instituted.

Their tax system was invented by a moronic,
ex-Beatle too wasted on methadone to
no that Airplanes to do in fact sometimes land,
