  The Adventures of 'Intercontinental' Man
  By Dana Milbank

  President Bush proposed a novel plan for dealing with Russia's old nuclear weapons. He said industrialized countries would pay $20 billion "to help Russia SECURITIZE the dismantled
  nuclear warheads."...Presumably he did not mean the literal definition of "securitize," which is to turn a commodity into a stock that can be traded
  -- Russian nukes on the Chicago Board of Trade.

  ...At the U.S. ambassador's home in Moscow, he weighed in on an issue
  involving the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote about "inalienable" rights. Linguists have suggested that "unalienable" is the proper word. Bush offered a third possibility: "UN-INALIENABLE RIGHTS."

  Arriving for a caviar dinner at Russian President Vladimir Putin's
  country residence, Bush viewed the immaculate grounds and told his host: "Nice of you to mow the grass for us." ...At the French president's palace, he noted that Jacques Chirac is "always saying that the food here is fantastic."

  “For those who worry about how I say things, my attitude is, ‘Too bad.’” — George W. Bush, January 23, 2002

  Bush relayed to a news conference that Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, outlining his plans to revive Japan's economy, had placed equal emphasis in their talks on banks’ non-performing loans, ‘the devaluation issue’' and regulatory reform... bush had meant to say ‘the deflation issue.’' Thanks to Bush's ignorance the yen plunged down to 132.80 per dollar from 132.55. - February 18, 2002

  It must be nice to be able to hug your trees and your social programs and look down on the folks who are trying to make a living heating your home and putting food on your table.Apparently the majority of the voters in this country appreciate having the cheapest,safest most abundant food supply in the world,and would prefer to not be completely dependant on foreign oil.

  Nuff Said,
  Cowboy

  Ah Cowboy be nice! I would prefer it another way. How about spending some money on renewables and less on Oil exploration, not to mention stockpiling? How about full disclosure from Dick and George in regards the Enron scandal? Just the facts ma'am...Are you telling me you don't hug your beeves?..uh I mean trees..heheh

  It's the neo-public school system of the U.S.A. I'm Libertarian with leanings to the "left". Yet I am not ignorant to the fact that the U.S. public school system (K-12) is no longer for public education for children. The U.S. public school system is now the playground for political agendas and special interest groups. Both left and right have their hands in the arena. They wan't to "capitolize" on what information is being fed to the children, to suit each parties individual agenda(Future voters, and dumbing down). Heck, even corporations are getting in to the mix to ensure that their commercial enterprise remains "healthy and prosperous" with the future consumers of the U.S.

  Bboyenko is within the generation that comes out from such a school system. This generation will have a challenge when it comes to objectivity and fact. This generation also judges history using present day Political Correct morals (aka..REVISIONISTS), which is provided by special interest agendas in the public school system.

  Bboyenko, the reason I'm posting this is;
  I hope you are and/or considering in putting an effort to pursue some form of education (College) beyond highschool. This will (hopefully) expose your mind to diverse ideas within a realm of diverse people. This will (hopefully) lead you to sharpening your own mind and not let others sharpen it for you.

  D8ta,

  Then what happened to me, I'm only 38 but I'm about as conservative as a spinster in a convent.

  Valis,
  Just what do you think "george and dick" have to say about Enron. The only real connection is that Enron did play a part by giving info in developing the Nation's fuel policy. Having said that, what did they get in trade?? NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
  Enron had more whitehouse access under Clinton.

  Is Bush perfect? Heck no, but way better than Gore, and more honest than Clinton any day.

  Man, Cowboy do you have a compound somewhere? Chill out. I'll hug my trees because I'm wiccan and that's it. Since some may think I'm a left wing wacko let me tell you what I don't like about Democrats. They think that everyone in the world deserves a free handout. I consider them the party for the lazy. It's nice to help people but I don't want my tax dollars going to some dumb ho that wants to pump out a litter of children so she can get more money from welfare. Democrats are nice for setting up IDEALISTIC thought programs. However, we need the republicans for bringing them back to reality.
  I really hope though that noone thinks that republicans really care about you unless you're a large corporation. If you have fooled yourself that either party cares about the middle class you are severely deluding yourself. As for Libertarian, I don't know a single thing about them. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.

  On a side note, my voting patterns follow the lesser of two evils. I used to respect Republicans because they were the "we're all about money" party (a Bill Mahr philosophy). Now they've turned into the Jesus is on our side party and that is a sickening way to garner votes to me. If they were just flat out honest they'd get allot more votes from me.

  Military service is another option to gain an excellent education, and being exposed to diverse people and ideas. The military does have a much more structured atomsphere, but I have to give the U.S. military credit, the options available in the education realm are priceless.

  To everyone else, the U.S. military isn't about waking up at 0500 hours and running 15 miles a day. The U.S. military does encourage and provide educational oportunities for those who want it. The U.S. military doesn't want a bunch of mindless soldiers running around on the battlefield. The similarities between going to college and getting a college education thru the military are not all that different when you look at it from a certain perspective. In life, it's up to the individual to excel. Some people are comfortable working with McDonalds for the rest of their life, others are comfortable with being a buck PVT. Nothing wrong with that. But what ever course one chooses, it's up to the individual and her/his ambition to reach the outcome they want to pursue. It's up to what you desire. :)
