Reston and Waffler , Carl Marx and Lenin would be proud of you. Are you both card carrying commies or just fellow travelers.

Wendell, this quote reminds us that the termites are still at it and intend to destroy our freedoms. And they get plenty of help from the Hope and Change crowd.

It's scary to think that Obama doesn't know what he's doing, and even scarier to think that he does.

Those "gold bugs" who bought gold 3 or 4 years ago when it was $500 an ounce can now easily sell it for around $1400 an ounce. Dr. Tom, it doesn't sound like that was a bad investment to me and you can keep your "sunny" second home in socialist Spain.

Good stuff from one of the smartest men who ever lived.

I doubt that our public schools are teaching any one to "think conceptually" or to even think at all.

Asset forfeiture laws are among the worst laws ever passed. These allow the cops to take (steal) your property without even charging you with a crime. This socalled War on Drugs helped to create this monstrosity. If you are carrying an amount of cash over what the cops think you ought to be carrying, they just say you did a drug deal and confiscate your money. No criminal charges but they keep your money anyway. Innocent until proven guilty is a joke now. check out LEAP.cc on the web.

It's no longer education, it's indoctrination.If memory serves, Hitler did this, it was called "Hitler Youth".

Jenner is right on target and the sooner we rid ourselves of the UN, the better off we will be. It is now , and always has been a nest of socialists thugs . Perhaps we could send it to North Korea or some other commie country where the UN would be right at home.

Waff old boy, I understand that Arkansas is a little behind in the education department, but I suspect that you mean "lucid" not "lucent". Juat another example of public school education.

Earth to Waffler, the public schools are a bulwark of government indoctrination. Our public schools receive loads of money from the Feds and whoever finances the schools will be in control.The "locals" will do what the Feds say in order to get the dough. Our public schools are a disaster. If our public schools are so great, then why do colleges have remedial reading classes ?

To find someone today who cannot read or write, just go to any college campus.

My, how times have changed. Translated, I think this means that you best keep junior and little Barbie out of government schools. Mark Twain must have been talking about public schools when he said that he never let schooling interfere with his education.

Truth is an alien concept to governments. The big lie is much better for them to use to control people.

See what former drug cops, DEA agents , judges and other interested people have to say about the drug war, LEAP.CC. A great book on the subject is " Bad Trip" , available on Amazin.com. If anyone thinks that this War on Drugs is winnable, please send me 100$ and I'll send you the deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.

People are always willing to give up liberty when we are fighting a war or have some sort of a crisis. The latest example is the global warming hoax.

As usual, Mike nailed it. For a maximum corruption example, look to Washington,DC. Most of the members of congress are lawyers, is there a connection here ?

For more participation, get your self elected to the US congress. They participate daily.

Waffler. you've been on that mountain again, where the air is thin. If there is any such thing as global warming, it's because of all the hot air that blow hards like Al Gore spew out daily. Global Warming is a hoax that screwballs like Al have started in order to control people , and get taxes increased. The earth is now cooling but but you'll never hear this from the Sierra Club or any other radical kook group.

About a hundred million more slaves will be free when the IRS is history, ancient history.

We will go a long way towards getting free of state thugs when we abolish all drug laws and the IRS. Someday , these two abominations will be simply bad memories and may that time come soon.

Our racist drug laws are a perfect example. I'm waiting for the government to force everyone to drink decaf coffee.

Amen ,Joe from New Jersey. Check out this web site, LEAP.CC and see what a group of former drug cops have to say.

Naturally, if some liberal do-gooder thinks that something you eat, or wear, or drive ,or do anything else he disagrees with , he'll do his best to get a law passed and force you to comply. And since he thinks he's smarter than you, he's just doing this for your own good. Put down that burger and eat that tofu, and for goodness sake, try not to have any fun in this life.

Also no commission to regulate the private lives of all it's citizens. Our country is loaded with people who think they know better than you about nearly everything. What you should eat. what you should drive, what light bulbs to use,etc. And be sure and eat those veggies and get at least 30 minutes of aerobic excercise every day, and get those flu shots or how else are you planning to live forever. Your liberal government thinks that you are stupid, but never fear, they will take care of you, and also your money. The Nanny State is here.
