  McClintock hands down makes the most economic sense, but in the leftist heaven that is california he probably cannot get elected. I am leaning towards Arnold, he is business friendly, and not a tax fiend.

  Bustamonte just sounded arrogant.

  McClintock makes the most economic sense, but I will vote for Arnold because he also makes economic sense and can get elected. Bustamonte is quite simply the anitchrist in the flesh.

  DAVIS HIGHLIGHTS

  • Delayed giving stateworkers a raise saving a few million and instead gave them 12 additional days off costing state multimillions more than the savings (actual numbers escape me but it seems like the cost outweighed the benefit by more than a factor of 10 and we were dealing with millions)
  • Accepted a list of canidates for the Indian gaming comminsion from the Indian Gaming PAC
  • The CDL thing
  • tripled our car taxes
  • not to mention
  • Energy crisis fiasco - when prices were low he change the long-med-short term contract mix the state normally uses for only short term. This saved the state money for about a month then the energy crises hit. He did nothing for months and then paniced locking in long term contracts AT THE PEAK OF THE ENERGY COST. This man should not have a banking account
  • Pay for Play politics
  • Gave cops, prison guards (who get paid more than teachers) and chp 38% for their endorsement

  If you want the job lie. Make up something that they cant verify to explain the year, like raising children, nephews, etc. Trust me, it might not be any of their business but if they ask and you say illness, 4 out of 5 times you will not get hired.

  For raw numbers of per capita?

  Thailand is up there, so is America, and Japan. It really is sad.

  Thailand is the worlds sex mecca. In certain poor provinces school teachers scout for girls that are considerd attractive and come from improvished families. The school teachers then act as intermediay between the bothel and the girls parents. The girls family are usually on the border of starving and are offered a small fortune (according to time about 1500 usd) for the girl, who they then sell. The girl never knows, and the familiy never complains to the police because they were part of the deal. A sad and complicated issue.

  In America lots of chinese women are bought on 'contract' then they are shipped to america and kept like slaves until their 'contract' is paid off. Which takes much much longer than they were originally led to believe, but because they are illegal they have no recourse and are at the 'contract' holders mercy. Interestingly, these women do not always end up as sex workers but sometimes end up working in sweat shops in coastal states.

  IMHO this crime should carry a long prison term.

  This actually is a huge problem throughout the world. Some groups claim there is currently more slavery now than at any other time in human history. While the only country I can think of where people are sold at action in public is the Sudan, nearly every western country has a huge problem with the sex/slavery issue. America, Japan, Thailand, China, Saudi Arabia, Brittan all of them have huge problems with this. Sex workers, and women in general, in most parts of the world have no power, that is one of the reasons I think this problem never gets solved. There are other reasons as well, but they are of a more controversial natue.

  By the way, also today, a judge in Sacramento ORDERED Cruz Bustamonte, (the Lt. Gov. running in case Davis gets booted) to take out of his campaign coffers over $3 million he illegally put in from the Indian Gaming community

  And Bustamonte showed the judge his middle finger and went ahead and spent the money anyway. Its likely criminal charges are going to be filed, god my state is an f**kin zoo.

  Two things, cold war logic and so what. Does that mean we can never oppose dictators because at one time we failed to?

  Here JT here is the rest of the quote, quoting out of context is very JW like, some people never change. His point was a 'so what point' in that even if everything he said was true so what does that mean. Does that mean we can never oppose dictators because at one time we failed to? It deserves an answer, neither you nor him have a valid one. I would like to know what is his point, is it that only morally spotless countires can right wrongs? Honestly its a mindless argument based on childlike moral standards.
