Socialist banking crisis?!? You are a barrel of laughs! FWIW, I don't really think of it as "my" money so much. I choose how to spend it and whatnot, but I wouldn't have it if it weren't for a lot of other folks. It's like an ecosystem. I'm so freaking scared of socialists! They're like, everywhere! And they're like the Nazis, too! Ahhhhhhhh! Like that famous poem, "First, they came for the Jews..." *snort* > Also, when Clinton borrowed from the SS fund, he promised to pay it > back with the next ten years of future tax revenue.

Most of our financial ecosystem is based on appearance and emotion, versus substance and logic. You must be very happy the "illusion" of being in the green was finally revealed to us by Bush. Like, right away, too. Cutting taxes and increasing spending is good, right? It's like, counter-intuitive, but it actually makes the government *more* money than it would make by going the intuitive route. Honest. You just need to give the theory more time to work-- or, wait, you're saying it /did/ work, right? But then the evil socialist liberal fascists wrecked it! Those /bastards/!

Global warming? Dude, you're sorta stuck on that neh? It's in your craw. I guess you think that, for example, the Haliburton Loophole is fine and dandy, eh? You don't mind poisoning your own people (including children) for the sake of Big Business? Because they'll spend that money, and it will trickle down to you and I? 'Cause they'll invest it wisely? (hello financial crisis) Heck, I'd trade the children for a grip of cash! Who wouldn't?!? >> I think I was paying for Regan when I started out... hrm.

They rock They were a fun rival. I was all like, "oh yeah, Russia!" when I watched those old SG-1 episodes. If we could get the KGB going again, a lot of old movies and tv shows wouldn't seem as dated. "Wolverines!" :Den -- It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
